Bibots in IOS

An epic roguelite shooter

Walkthrough, Guilds, Tips on this special game

Our Site Score

85/100

Bibots is a breath of fresh air for fans of the twin-stick roguelite genre, often drawing comparisons to Enter the Gungeon but carving out its own identity with its unique 'Bibot' transformation mechanic. You play as Tayar, an explorer who stumbles upon ancient mechanical beings that he can summon to wreak havoc. The gameplay loop is satisfyingly tight: you clear procedurally generated rooms, collect a wild variety of weapons, and slot in 'chips' to customize your fire rate, damage, or elemental effects. The real tactical depth comes from managing your energy to transform into your chosen Bibot, which effectively acts as a 'super' mode to clear screen-filling boss patterns.

Visually, the game is vibrant and colorful, steering away from the typical dark dungeoncrawler aesthetic. On mobile, the controls are surprisingly fluid, supporting both touch and controllers, which is a must for the bullet-hell intensity of later levels. While the lack of an auto-save feature during runs can be a minor frustration for mobile users on the go, the sheer variety of builds and the synergy between Tayar’s skills and his mechanical companions kept me coming back for 'just one more run.' It’s a premium experience that respects the player's time and skill, offering a deep RPG-lite progression system that makes every failed run feel like a step toward a more powerful future.

Bibots tries hard to be the next 'Enter the Gungeon' on mobile, and in some ways, it gets the shooting right. The controls are surprisingly responsive for a touch-screen twin-stick setup. However, the transformation mechanic—the titular Bibots—feels more like a glorified 'ultimate' button rather than a core gameplay pillar.

What really grinds my gears are the bugs. Getting stuck in an inventory screen during a good run is inexcusable for a paid title. Beyond that, the meta-progression is stingy. You spend 30 minutes in a run only to realize you’ve barely moved the needle on your character's permanent power. It's a decent shooter for a veteran of the genre, but it lacks the 'just one more run' hook that makes the greats truly great.
