Backflip Studios has released more than its fair share of iOS games, but none have managed to be quite as big a hit as DragonVale. This fantastical spin on free-to-play zoo gaming single-handedly birthed the dragon zoo genre, and to this day remains one of the top grossing games on the App Store. So when we learned that Backflip was going to be delivering a new free-to-play zoo-style experience, but this time in the world of robots, we were pretty excited to see what would come of it.
Developed by Backflip Studios, Gizmonauts is a social-sim that puts players in charge of a floating island filled with robots. You'll build a variety of different "Bots", assemble all sorts of buildings for them, and even pit them against one another in battle. Gamezebo's quick start guide will provide you with detailed images, tips, information, and hints on how to play your best game.
There are two important things to know about robot fighting: it's awesome, and it's expensive. The latter tends to take away from the former, of course, but there are ways around it. You could glue wheels to a blender and proclaim it a battling machine, for instance. If your imagination is not that vivid and/or you'd rather not disrespect the sacred bond between human and household appliance, Gizmonauts can help.
