• Marry a human or an advanced robot, and start a family

Pros and cons of Choice of Robots app for iPhone and iPad

Choice of Robots app good for

This game is fairly fun and consumes a bit of my time when Im bored however being a fairly new game is definitely buggy. Like the other reviewers said it is impossible to type your own name and it makes it rather disconnecting for the player as names are a huge part of the personalization process. It also feels like youre a little powerless sometimes, like when you pick certain things so you can prevent something before it happens, they completely neglect that you even done such things. For example when you pick the hard drive that is difficult to hack, there isnt even a mention of it when the Chinese hack your companies robots; its like you do all these things in vain. Anyway however it is still fun and worth the money, I just hope for bug fixes, and updates in the future. :)
I think this (game?) is definitely worth the money! It has a great story and is very replay able, I would recommend this game to any of you! I thought it was so good I even bought it in steam! (Pc)
Developers did a great job. This game is well-written and has several compelling story lines.
Ive been with CoG for a while now, patiently awaiting a new game akin to the old ones, focused on extreme character development. This game takes it to the maximum, letting you watch your character grow as you play. I intended to make a war-focused, Humanity-free character, and she became just as loving towards her robots as my Empathy-focused game. hoping for more like this soon!
Wow, this was so much better than what I expected. lol was recommended to play this game, being told that it only takes an hour to play through. Thats true, and the writing alone totally makes it worth the price. But Ive since played through it over and over and over again. Its like everything choose-your-own-adventure moves wished they could be, but better in the way that only a video game can be. I expect to try some of this companys other story games, but its hard to imagine any of them will be as fully in my butter zone as this one has been.
Quite a bit more complex than most of the COGs coming out now. Very fun, high replay value- I still havent gotten all the endings.

Some bad moments

I havent played enough of the game to say whether its worth the money or not, but from what Ive done so far Ive noticed a problem. Im not sure if its actually supposed to be this way as a joke, or if its a major glitch, but when I try to type out a name for myself or my robot, it doesnt work. For example, I decided to type my own name instead of picking one of the first names provided. However, after I typed in my name, it said "Unnamed. Is this correct?" I kept going back and typing the name I wanted over again but it doesnt work and only ends up leaving you as "Unamed" if you dont choose one from the list. Same thing with the robot; if you try and type it a name you came up with yourself, it basically just says "your robot- is this correct?" Im not sure if this is supposed to be funny or if its actually just an error, but it kind of bugs me. One of the best parts of choice games is immersing yourself into the story, which is hard to do when you cant even give yourself the name you want. Other than that it seems interesting, a bit more philosophical in certain ways than most other choice games, though Im not sure whether thats good or not. Id prefer a little bit more freedom to interact with more than one character instead of just being allowed to befriend one while the others end up getting neglected.
The choices and variety of stories is amazing. Well written and filled with great references from music,literature, and pop/geek culture. Ive read it four times with completely different stories and look forward to reading more.
Wonderful story! Great characters. Incredible diversity of choices and outcomes. Very well done. Also, more sophisticated writing than Rise of Superheros (which I found to be overly fixated on sexual appeal - a more juvenal approach. This will appeal to more sophisticated readers, both Asimov fans and non.) I really appreciate this more mature approach.
The absolute best game/book Ive ever read. I shed manly tears at the the end. The amount of different endings, choices, and paths you can take. This story made me reflect on my own life and how the future will be. This is a true masterpiece. The only thing I wish is for more. Maybe an update where you can continue the story or maybe different paths to take. Brilliant work of art and story telling. There are no words to describe this game. The evolution of the story from a small town inventor to becoming something far greater in which you ultimately choose what your morality tells you is right and wrong. The different endings, especially the one with the failed creation, were each amazing. Thank you. Truly, thank you.
Ive always been enamored by stories in which robots attain humanity, and this story delivers!
This has to be be my fav I like it more then vampire and I wish there were more like these
