LogicBots Demo

LogicBots is a complex simulation game that allows users to build smart bots from scratch and even design their electrical systems.

The game is described by its makers simply as a simulation, but it’s also a puzzle. Users need to know that it’s not your average puzzle, and it feels that most of the time some general knowledge of electrical systems is required just to understand what’s happening. The game refers to various components by their proper names, so unless you’ve used those pieces of hardware in real life, you’re going to have to do some digging.

This might seem like a unique idea, and that’s true if we take into consideration the level of complexity and the concept itself. On the other hand, the basic principle of using a limited amount of funds to build something and finish a puzzle is not all that foreign to the gaming world.

Since LogicBots is also described as a game, some users might be a little bit put off by the complexity and level of work that they will have to put in it. Even if you won’t understand right off the bat what is everything seems to be doing, the developers do provide detailed explanations for each part.

Make no mistake about it, LogicBots is not something that will help you relax and most of the time it will feel like you’re at work. That’s a good thing since it shows just how dedicated the developers have been in their process.

Because I’m not an engineer I can’t know if what they are saying is true or if it’s even remotely close to real life, but it feels like that. The only problem I have with the game is the fact that if doesn’t feel like a game and it’s more like doing homework, even if they are puzzles.

From a technical point of view, LogicBots is doing its job. The physics that governs everything is well implemented, and there are no issues in this department. The demo is not long, but it should be more than enough to enlighten people about the nature of this title.
