What's It About?
In some futuristic dystopia, humanoid robots battle to death in a combat arena in HAKITZU ELITE: ROBOT HACKERS. It's played out like a life-size version of chess, in that players program their battle bots using preset functions and JavaScript syntax. On each turn, the bots run their code, attempting to disable the enemy and hack their central command core. Coding earns points, which can unlock special weapons, and in-app purchases give access to other robot features.
Is It Any Good?
On the surface, Hakitzu Elite: Robot Hackers provides an enticing gateway for younger robot fans to take control of their machines, but it doesn't go quite deep enough. A stripped down JavaScript coding interface allows players to send their robots marching across the screen and into various forms of melee. Though this programming chess match can be fun, it's more about flash than substance. Beneath the cool graphics, the point system and in-app purchases may frustrate some kids, and the hints and tips move pretty quickly for new coders. In the end it's a great idea that just needs a little more focus and depth.
Talk to Your Kids About ...
