The Trouble With Robots is the debut production of the independent Digital Chestnut studio. The intention of the creators was to combine a strategy in the style of Plants vs Zombies with a card game like Magic: The Gathering.

Plot

The action of the game takes place in a world in which rebellious robots intend to "modernize" all living beings. The player takes on the role of a wizard and leads an alliance of people and magical creatures who want to stop soulless machines. The main campaign is divided into 26 levels. Additionally, during the game, there is a possibility to unlock 6 bonus levels.

Mechanics

The player's task is to construct a deck of 5-9 cards with spells, e.g. to summon defenders (e.g. elves, centaurs, griffins and dragons), support the fighting units or deal damage to enemies. There are a total of 48 types of cards in the game, some of which can be won by fulfilling specific conditions.

Battles in The Trouble With Robots are fought in real-time. Units move in rows and the player supports their troops by playing the appropriate cards. The condition for victory is to defeat the opponents attacking you with waves.

Technical aspects

The game is distinguished by cartoon graphics with two-dimensional illustrations depicting locations and characters. The Trouble With Robots has humorous accents referring to pop culture.
