Never playing this game again
It was horrible it’s completely pay to win and everything time I did a challenge the robot would somehow 100 hits instantly this is the worst real steel game I’ve played
Horrible bots to fight
The Bots in The Events are so damn genuinely unfair, what do you mean I have to fight a 500 Star Gambit that Regenerates 4-8K HP with each Ability Activation while having a 260 Star Twincities? It’s Genuinely So unfair? and also, when I finally beat the Gambit it doesn’t count it even though I clearly Defeated it.
Adds block the game from being enjoyable
This game has been around for years and every so often I redownload it and the same thing makes me delete it, asking way to much money for in game items….. and adds that take over the game that cannot be closed. This is a great game but ruined by greed.
Betrayal to the legacy of real steel
Just a blatant cash grab game at this point in time. Every time you open it you are slammed by ten prompts to spend money, almost every robot is realistically locked behind a paywall. The new robots they’ve designed to increase the length of the game are either easy to steam roll through or completely imbalanced to the point they feel like paywalls to get over. The fact there is a 100 dollar a MONTH subscription available in the shop should really tell you all you need to know about what the devs are trying to do by keeping this game up.
This game sucks
When beated Zeus I didn't have enough money to purchase Golden Midas or metro so I tried again with albino and it gave me way less money this game is extremely pay to win their trying to make you spend your money so that you could get whatever robot you want. This game is bad to play and updates keep getting worse and the game is so grindy right now.
Mid
Didn’t save my progress fully deleted it and I know it’s there cus if I sign into my facebook it shows my stats but doesn’t give my stuff back
LAME!
I won on wrb-x but instead of me winning, the game froze and it made me leave hoping I would move on to wrb-lx, but instead of moving on, I STAYED IN WRB-IX!
Can’t even start the game
Not sure how this happened, but redownloaded the game to play again. Started a new career but I can’t even buy Ambush or BioWar because I don’t win enough money after the tutorial fight. I’m soft locked.
Fix The Freaking Crashes
Bro the game is good but yall need to fix the game crashes. it makes no sense.
Worst mobile game ever
I swear this is the most pay to win thing ON THE PLANET. EVERY BOT YOU FIGHT IS WAY MORE POWERFUL THAN THEY SHOULD BE JUST TO GET YOU TO LOSE. THE DEVELOPERS SHOULD NEVER MAKE ANOTHER GAME EVER.
Trash energy/ core system
The core system ruins the game so much. Restricting the amount of time you’re game can be played has to be one of the stupidest things you can do.
KICKING ME OUT
I tried this game just now but it keeps on kicking me out I need help with it please or else
Like it but one problem
Every time you move to a different Tournament towards the end you fight robots that are way past your level and to gets kinda annoying
pretty stumped
to hard to get new robots
Did I get ip banned for not playing the game?
I was banned from wrb like at the beginning of this year, I was on vacation somewhere in the Caribbeans and I decided to play this game, suddenly my game softlocked and I couldn’t do anything but when I reopened it, it said that my account was banned. What did I do to deserve this? No idea. But when I try to sign in my Apple account, it’ll start off in the tutorial, then after I fight fat boy the game softlocks again and won’t load when I reopen it, when I try to sign in with face book it puts me in a infinite loading screen just for nothing to come by. Please I would absolutely love it if I had a response on this page because I wasted so many hours of my life on this game that I cannot get back, serval years of progress all gone to waste.

屎一样的匹配机制…
Great game but man
The gameplay is genuinely fun, which makes the monetization even more frustrating. Progression slows to a crawl unless you’re willing to grind for weeks or spend absurd amounts of money. Locking meaningful progress behind what feels like hundreds of dollars is not “premium” - it’s predatory.
A $100 per month VIP subscription for a mobile game is outrageous. That kind of pricing sends a clear message: skill and dedication don’t matter nearly as much as your wallet.
I want to support games I enjoy, but this economy feels exploitative. Until progression is balanced and pricing is realistic, this game will continue to feel more like a cash grab than a competitive experience.

Fun, but hard to unlock favorites
This game is very fun to play and progress in. However, favorite bots such as Atom,Zeus, and most of the "gold" bots are so so hard to get for free to play players. They need to be unlocked with gold, which is so hard to get unless you pay for some. I understand that the game wants to make money, but I wish they were easier to obtain. Great game!
Skill based Matchmaking is COOKED.
I used to absolutely love this game as a kid. Why does every game that I’ve ever loved always go the money hungry route? It’s taken me months just to save 560,000 silver because I’m trying to save for the newer championship because I was out of silver when it came out. When I play PVP it puts bots against me that are RIDICULOUSLY more scaled and powerful than mine and when I’m on a winning streak of more than 5 it gives me bots to fight that are literally 4-5 TIMES stronger with health and power, making it a completely impossible fight if I even get hit one single time. Please stop ruining one of my favorite childhood games.
Achievement issues
Freezing and shows hello world when selecting achievements. This comes a frequently causes the game to crash.
Pay to win
This game is fun but you have to spend money just to play because you barely get any coins and you use coins to upgrade so the only way to upgrade your robot is to spend money.
