Dinsun Expert Review
Our Expert Score
AR Robot is a standout title in the augmented reality space, particularly for how it utilizes ARKit 2.0 to create shared experiences. Following the success of AR Dragon, PlaySide Studios has refined the technology to allow for surprisingly precise physics-based combat. The premise is simple but engaging: you scan a flat surface in your real environment, and suddenly a robotic arena appears on your kitchen table or living room floor. The level of detail in the robot models is impressive, especially when you realize there are over 90 unique parts to customize.
What truly elevates AR Robot above a mere tech demo is the depth of the combat and training. You aren't just watching a simulation; you use on-screen controls to dodge and attack, while physically moving your phone to aim special abilities. This spatial awareness adds a level of immersion that traditional fighting games lack. The inclusion of local multiplayer—where two people can see the same battle in the same room—is a 'magic trick' that never gets old. While the VIP subscription might be steep for some, the base game offers a solid loop of training in mini-games and climbing global leaderboards that makes it one of the most interactive AR experiences available.
Features
Over 90 customizable robot parts and 60 paints
Shared AR multiplayer for local battles
Skill-based training via interactive mini-games
Physics-based real-time combat mechanics
Global leagues and competitive leaderboards
Tips & Walkthrough
For the best experience, find a well-lit area with a textured flat surface (like a rug or a wood grain table). Slow, steady movements help the AR tracking lock in the arena.
Gameplays
In local multiplayer, both players scan the same surface. Once synced, you can move around the table to see the fight from any angle, which is useful for timing your dodges.

Q&A
You can train your robot's stats (Strength, Defense, Precision) by playing the three available mini-games.

Honest Review
Tue Sep 18 2018 MrWabbleWabbleI love the game personally, it almost feels like it’s in sorta of beta/early access faze, I mean it did just get released. I’m hoping I can have more than one robot eventually and think the AR could use just a bit of work but does function very good as is. A side idea/hope for this to come out, is a way to at least be able to customize your robot without having to spawn it in by scanning. Just when it’s dark or I’m in a situation where I can’t scan the area in order to spawn my robot, I would like to be able to maybe customize and look at leader boards etc. I do however think if a mode is released where you can fight and train while not in AR, it would sorta ruin the games fun and uniqueness especially with the title being AR Robots. Please keep adding to the game keep it alive the game is fun as it stands now and is 100 times funner if you have local friends who can play with you. 100% worth a try
I love it
Mon Feb 17 2020 steven101111I hate this game just kidding I love it I like how U can unlock parts moves colors and train ur robots it’s like u build ur own robot to fight others I like how also when u level u get to choose a level up like strength health speed and block like I said it’s cool I am still having trouble how to use the other moves tho so if the owner sees please tell me how to use the others moves thanks but I have an idea I say like friend battle add friends fight them to see who is better and team too be a duo with ur friend and take on two fighters and multiple robots there’s should be like 3 slots choose a robot to fight and last I think think should be added too fight to get coins instead of just training ur robot to get coins I say there should a arena where u fight a robot that is not a person or a real person and earn coins gems colors and chargers for battles just in case it’s an idea for the owner
Great but I have ideas
Wed Nov 07 2018 PlayerPenguinWhen I first saw this game on the App Store I was like “whoa! I have to get this!”. When I installed this and played I have to say this game is very fun! As far as I am in the game, (level 10 maybe?) this game is still very addicting! However I have a few suggestions for this game. First, instead of vip being around 6.00 USD per week, please make it cheaper. I find this purchase somewhat expensive and wish the price was lowered. I also believe other players would agree with me on this too. Second, an in-game purchase giving the player the ability to make two custom robot skins. (Like the color schemes). I say this purchase should cost around 2.00 USD because it adds more variety for the robots. Overall, this game is doing great so far, and I can’t wait to play more! Thanks, PlayerPenguin P.S. developers please respond because I would like to hear from you.
I love the game but a few problems
Fri Jul 31 2020 I love game but problemI love this game but there are a few problems. I love that there are no ads but one problem. Whenever you lose they put you against harder and stronger robots so I would appreciate it if you put us against easier robots whenever we lose. Love the game though it’s literally the only game I ever play. But please fix this problem. Also whenever we win then you could put us against harder robots. Also the battery charges way too slow maybe you could make the battery charge faster so I don’t have to wait a whole day for it to reach ten. Thanks. Also if you don’t fix these problems I’ll give this game a one star rating delete it and convince everyone to never get this game again.
A good game, but definitely needs fixing
Tue Jun 21 2022 jskahsksnwEverything about it I love, but the training is not difficult, just annoying. The punching bag is fine for strength, the gloves are reasonably hard but are ok, and the targets for me are awful. Some targets are placed in spots where they are rather hard to see being blocked by your bot or hard to hit when you can’t tell where the moving ones will cut back. The fighting needs some balancing, because some moves are way better than others and make the matches heavily one sided. There should be underdog buffs when a bot’s stats are all lower than the opponent. Please fix some of this. Also, when exiting out of training while in one, the progress you done should be rewarded and now thrown aside like nothing happened. At least give back the energy if this happens.
Love the game, But.....
Wed Sep 19 2018 MrConnorMI love the game. The graphics are fantastic, the battle simulations are fun, and it isn’t hard to play. I wish that there could maybe be a setting where you could turn off AR. Like the concept but my battery doesn’t. My only catch up is that it has some subscription based parts, skins, etc... that kinda annoys me. What happened to the games where all you had to do was play a game and level up without buying add-ons. I understand we have to make our money somewhere but seriously. Otherwise I love the game. It has a fantastic platform to it and it’s super fun and addicting. I have played for the last two hours. The developers have done a great job!!! Keep it up
A pretty good game
Sun Jan 05 2020 Golden Jam YTThis game is actually good. It lets you customize your robot, train it, and fight other robots in AR! There is only three suggestions though... Developers, can y’all please add a non AR mode? Sometimes the game is unplayable with AR. I am saying this because you have to be in a very well lit room to be able to play and I usually play on my iPad at night or in the morning. Sometimes my bot would float off screen. Another thing is adding more robots. That would be awesome. Like having your team of robots vs someone else’s team of robots. That would be awesome. The last suggestion is having a campaign. Like having your bot fight AI bots and they get harder every time, but it would have a storyline and it would not cost fuel. Other than those three suggestions. this game is really good. Good job developers!
Fix the fighting training
Fri Jun 04 2021 like scary gameYou see I love this game no problems at all except for one and it’s super annoying each and every time I do the fighting level when I go super OP tapping my fingers like 1 million times I always get this glitch where it just stops punching in the meter stops running out of time and then just now I figured out that there’s this glitch that if you if you do it too hard then or if you do it too many times into that this system will just go to bazaar and then it would just go on then the punching bag in the robot just go away into the sun said I mean it’s pretty funny that’s why I gave it to four stores besides that it’s pretty bad just sticks the fighting training
