TURBO STARS THE GAME SERIES

After a certain amount of time, bulldozers are revealed on both sides of the screen, and whoever gets hit by the bulldozer first will lose the battle automatically. Still though, the battles can be quite hilarious to watch, as bots may flip over and be rendered useless or be propelled backwards, or other funny outcomes. Unfortunately, as I mentioned earlier, the battles in CATS are mostly determined by how you built your bot, as well as a bit of luck, so users have no control over how they turn out aside from how they built their bots. When youвЂ™re satisfied with what youвЂ™ve built, just tap on the button to return to the main screen, where you can try out your new creation in a Quick Match or Championship Tournament Eventually you can fuse parts together to make one piece stronger, and sometimes a piece will offer bonuses when theyвЂ™re equipped on certain bodies. To equip a part on to your chosen body, just drag it on. The health points can be increased by equipping tires, and your attack increases depending on the weapon you choose, though youвЂ™ll have to keep in mind the amount of power a weapon requires too. The power is determined by the body, which also has a set number of health points. Each part has a varying amount of health, attack, and power. Then you can scroll through your available parts in a ribbon along the top of the screen, and just tap on the body, weapons, or tires you want to see to view details about it. When you want to customize your bot, just tap on it, which is found in the center of the screen. The controls in CATS are simple enough, especially since there is no user input during battles. When it comes to matches, they are automatic and the players have no control in terms of how their bot moves, so the only way to even have a say in the outcome is to make sure you strategically build the best battle bot with the parts you have. The meat of CATS is in the bot building, customizing, and upgrading. However, if you are able to meet the win threshold, then you will also have the opportunity to get bonus boxes that can contain powerful new parts to work with. As far as the championship mode goes, you have to win a certain number of matches out of a set in order to be promoted and move on to the next ranking. The quick match mode lets you do one battle at-a-time, and if you can get a win streak going, then you have the opportunity to earn boxes with more parts for your battle bots. Sound effects are just as youвЂ™d expect from a game involving customizable battle bots, so itвЂ™s all in good fun.Д¬ATS is an arcade-like battle bot brawler, where you can participate in Quick Matches against other bots or go in the Championship Tournamnent. Animations in CATS are buttery smooth and fluid, and the classic rock soundtrack adds some fun tunes to your hilarious cat battle bot action. All of the parts that you can unlock and collect to build your battle bots with have their own distinctive appearances and quirks, so no stone is left unturned when it comes to the gameвЂ™s details. The color palette in CATS has a nice range of muted earthy tones to bolder and more vibrant hues, but no matter what youвЂ™re looking at, the game is certainly packed with a lot of eye candy. Despite the cartoon-like style, thereвЂ™s a lot of polish involved in here, as you can tell from the incredibly detailed environments and even the facial expressions of the cats themselves. The game definitely has a cartoonish aesthetic to it, but thatвЂ™s to be expected from a game that involves battle bots and cats. No matter what youвЂ™re into, it is just downright satisfying to watch two robotic things just fight each other, so when ZeptoLab announced CATS, I was intrigued - not only did it feature battle bots, but cats pilot them. I remember growing up when Rock вЂEm Sock вЂEm Robots were a thing, and it was always fun to watch others play or even participate yourself if you could get your hands on the toy. While I was never really into things like BattleBots, I know many people are, and I will admit, it can definitely be fun to watch robots fighting each other to the death. While my usual remedy is a relaxing puzzle game, sometimes I feel a bit more destructive and want to take my anger out on something, which is why I turn to games. When IвЂ™m under stress, I like to take a break from reality and chill out with video games. If you have been waiting for a new game from ZeptoLab thatвЂ™s not only different than their usual fare, but also brings cute cats into the mix, then look no further than CATS: Crash Arena Turbo Stars.
