With the realistic physics in this combat sim, we can safely say that we really DO have WEAPONS OF MATH DESTRUCTION.

From the creators of X-Plane comes a really FUN new combat sim that really turns the iPhone and iPod touch into a mini game-station of pretty significant power... THIS is the virtual-reality combat sim that many of you have been waiting for.

Much like X-Plane, Giant Fighting Robots is fairly complex, with pretty accurate physics... but being in a Giant Fighting Robot with Guided Machine Guns, Lightning-Guns, Gatling Lasers, and a dozen or so other weapons, trying to defend yourselves against artificially-intelligent, heavily-armed alien fighter and bomber spider-bots on a dozen foreign worlds... well, the action gets quite a bit more intense.

You will start off in the Genesis-Class ATAW (All Terrain Attack Walker), which is nothing more than a modified cargo-walker with a few modified aircraft air-to-ground guns mounted on the top. It is a pretty silly defense against the alien attack, but it is all humanity can throw together on short notice. As you defeat the alien invaders at progressively harder levels, the Human Cascade will have time to develop increasingly powerful ATAWs and weapon systems, making each of your future combat engagements more complex and violent as you move into faster moving ATAWs like the Huron, or heavier ones like the Galaxy or Titanic, and move into command of really frightening weapons systems like the Flame-Thrower, High-Capacitance Laser, Ion Cannon, or Guided Torpedo. We believe this is the most immersive, intense combat simulation for the iPhone... can you handle it? Can you WIN it? We can.. but it isnt easy!

Also, as well as fighting against the artificially-intelligent aliens, you can play in multi-player death-matches against your friends, choosing your ATAW weapons, reactors, batteries, armor, engines, and jet-durations to maximize the lethality of your attack... and here is where the fun just gets so amazing it is about impossible to put your phone (or iPodTouch) down!

NOTE:

A few people are not quite sure how to equip their ATAWs... remember that your BATTERIES drive your weapons and propulsion systems, and the REACTORS keep the batteries charged during combat... Do you want to have a lot of power for a QUICK attack (large batteries) or sustainable power for a longer attack? (large reactor)... Choose your batteries and reactors accordingly!

Pros and cons of Giant Fighting Robots app for iPhone and iPad

Giant Fighting Robots app good for

I bought it because laminar rarely fails to deliver anything short of amazing, and this no exception. Gameplay is highly addicting.
This game is really good!! I spend about an hour a day playing this game! BUY THE GAME!! Its a game worth buying!!!
this game is very fun and feels realistic like the x plane apps. i gave it four stars because there are not very very many level. you should also be able to make a custom battle where you can choose the anount of robots you fight, location, weather, your robot, and weapons on thier robots an yours. i would recomend it to anyone with $4.99.
Seriously probably one of my favourite games. Only wish theyd update it!
I like it but i cant even get past the 1st leval you need to do something. PLEASE GIVE THE GAME A FREE PLAY MODE WITH ALL THE BOTS. Iove Pacific rim so love the app but PLEASE GIV IT A FREEPLAY MODE PLEASE

Some bad moments

The game is poorly done. My dog could have created a better game. This game would have been a waste of money at $.99. Dont waste your time or money. They make it seem like this game is good by the comments, but its total garbage.
Incredibly dull gameplay, uninspired designs -- this game needs an overhaul. Some playtesting by mecha fans would have gone a long way.
Its a great app and reminds me of Robot Jox but it still wont save! Hopefully this gets fixed soon!!!
Overall great game but it wont save my progress. UPDATE: It appears to save only at the lowest levels of ATAW and weapons but once you get more stuff the saving no longer works. Please fix this, its infuriating!
This game is so increddibbille!!!!! It is worth the money. Some one pleese reply , Im lonely.....sniff
Very fun game me and my friend just like to hover around and blow up and crash lol
