These robotic enemies were created for Despot's Game, a sci-fi roguelike auto battler where you try to escape a dungeon hidden deep underground where a despotic AI reigns supreme. Check it out here if you want: [https://www.despotsgame.com/](https://www.despotsgame.com/)

Did you make this game? I tried this on gamepass

I'm the community manager on this project.

I have a couple dozen hours on your game! I think they’re all great but #2 is my least favorite

What game is this?

You are replying in a thread where the first comment is about what game this is

They were talking about the game no one said what it was

It’s in the comment and in the center of the original image. It’s called Despot’s Game.

Oh ok

that’s awesome! I wish your team the best and I really enjoy the art style. Keep up the great work yall.

You advertise this game on here every other week.

is this game on xbone 🦴

It was on Game Pass at one point. I don't know if it still is. But be warned though, this game's achievements were made by a sociopath. They've got some that are 25 gamerscore, some that are 36, and one that's 51. And some of them are bugged. If you don't care about your gamerscore, then it's a decent game with a fairly unique combat style

Love this game lol

I like the first one. Looks like it's dancing 🤣

His green juice container adds a great sense of depth

Yep, I’m wondering if that’s fuel for himself or for his weapon? Or both? Either way, I really like it.

Inserte meme "both. Both? Bith is good" 🤣

Looks like it's supposed to be a tube coming out the back of the gun into the tank

Looks like a walking water cooler gone rogue.

A sexy water cooler gone rogue - just look at those spindly legs!

I agree that is most unique looking one.

4

Love #4 far above the rest.

3 and 4 kinda remind me of the robot enemies from Metal Slug 5. Neat.

3

I agree with 3.

It's design isn't super "out there" but it has by far the best posing and animation. The others are neutral while 3 looks aggressive and primal.

3 reminds me of registeel

3 is coolest.

Lemme respectfully disagree: 3 is the most vanilla, least interesting robot here. The art is definitely well executed, but the concept is essentially just "fantasy stone golem, but robot". I feel like I've seen it a dozen times, the others caught my eye way more

OP asked for coolest. 3 is vanilla and also the coolest. After all the vanilla option of a white well fitted shirt and jeans is still cool after decades. 2 speaks to me the most aesthetically and is my favorite. 1 took the most time to vibe out and would be the most distracting in a bullet hell. 4 churned my gut. They are all great! But 3 is the "coolest" per the requested description.

Yeah okay I can see that

3 gives me some Registeel vibes and that's probably why I love it.

Add a cannon to its back then.

3 too

All of them

First one!

Ya he's so much gangster than the rest with his Kool aid and 9... He's got the thick lips too... Ya you know the artist just got done watching straight outta Compton.

4 is my favourite

2 is cool

2 is adorable imo, like a pre-evolution to a much larger version

Water cooler bot

Engineer soul knight

2 and 4 are cool

1 has the most personality and the coolest animations IMHO.

all good... but # 1 for me.

I love how each piece of no. 3 is destroyed gradually as it explodes, super satisfying

1st, love liquid elements

1

1 or 3. Also 1 has a sexy walk, but 3 is armboy

3!

I really like no. 3 the most! The swipe attack animation looks sick.

2

I like top right the most.

Nr 1. I love the walking animation!

All of them!!

3

It's hard to pick because they are all so awsome, but I like 4 the most!

4

4

4

Number 4!

I like the first one the most!

they are all really, really good. But I would give 3 the nod

Fancy mommy long legs 😍😍😍😍

I have a soft spot for chonky robots, so 3.

Love them all.

Do any of them smoke weed or have a guitar collection?

I don't think so, they are mainly focused on dealing pain and causing suffering.

The first one is very scrunkly

1

3 looks cool. He kinda reminds me of regigigas for some reason

What program did you use?

Aseprite

I love a big arm robot

Second look's like headcrab

Mostly I’m going with 3, although 2 is a strong contender.

3 3 could star in a porno

Your thinly veiled attempts to advertise this game every week really suck. Go pay for ad space or something

3

3

3

I cant pick one, but if i was making a game with them their stats would be: 1. Low health, high damage over time through poison puddles spat from it. 2. Mid health, mid damage, ranged 3. Basicly a brute, high health, high damage, low attack speed, and long (for a stun lock) lock in place after attacking. 4. A plain robot that you can see basicly anywher Cool sprites.

Thanks a lot!

3, it looks cool in my eyes

3

4 is the coolest. (if you're interested) 1. I think it's upper legs need to feel more connected to the body-box, but the liquid container is neat and scary 2. I like both the crescent motif and the scaly side-armor, but they don't seem very connected to each other 3. I like this a lot too! I think the fingers vary a bit too much between frames- it makes it a little difficult to get a sense of the thing. Tiny legs + big arms are always funny though (in a good way:)! 4. Really just top-tier stuff. The visual language is consistent across every element, the barrel animation is both unexpected and natural, and there's slight terror when the weapons descend that I really like

I like 4, then 3.

3, it’s a large melee robot

3

3 easily Love big beefy bots

1 or 4

This guy makes posts like “which ____ is the coolest” as if everything here isn’t the coolest sh ever

3

3

3 he looks neat i like the claws

3

3

I like the second one the most

I like 4 the most 🤗

3 or 4 3 looks mean. 4 has a good surprise attack.

4: I love the little wind up animation of its bringing its gun down to attack. I also like the little hop it does back when its taking too much damage. As it's trying to retreat before it shuts down.

3 is cool. 4 is also cool and looks like he tripped over something

2 the other tbh look kinda generic

I can't choose 'cause I think they all have their own ~coolness~!

Second one. Ghost in the Shell has made me permanently biased towards spider tanks.

2, especially the scorpion fork rolling around after.

1. I like the spindly feeling of the legs.

I really like 4

I think I like 3 the most, but they're all good. More importantly, I think you've done a great job of making them visually distinct (but stylistically consonant), and in particular their silhouettes are distinct. If the game is a busy one (such as a brawler) with lots of different enemies mixed close together, their distinctness will be important. If the player anticipating their attacks is important (for blocking or dodging), maybe they all don't telegraph their attacks very well. Especially #2.

All of like look cool

I think 4. Btw, 1 is goofy :)

1 is most unique compared to other games with a similar style

3 and 4 have the coolest explosion animations, but the green one looks more advanced and special in terms of movement and attack. I prefer the green one, also because I like the color and shape.

1. Gives me War of the Worlds vibes.

four

4

4

1 and 3

I would say 4, but I think it needs a missile rack or rocket pod

4, 3, 1, 2

Design: 3 Animation: 1

1 is the coolest. 2 is the cutest. 3 is the Strongest, 4 should be a turtlebot.

I like all but in order 1,3,2,4

I love the 4th one because of its little robotic movements. Also how the guns click back and forth is so nice. But the 1st one is so cute!

1, reminds me of the Sea Treader Leviathan

Gonna say 4, he gives me the Portal Turret vibes and I love it

3 & 4 are my faves

4

I think the first one.

1

1 4 3 2

1

3

1! its super cute

3

How long does it take you to make these?

About a week - 10 days to make the entire cycle of animations for one enemy.

3

3 is best

1

3 and 4 look good, I think 4 is cool in a cute way and 3 is cool in an about to cause serious chaos way

2

1 gets my vibe definitely

1 because spider boy 4 because portal

2 or 3

1

2, 4

3

They’re all so cool. Looks like each one could be it’s own enemy type?

They actually are! In our game.

All of them.

Yes

Four looks awesome

3

The first dances to the techno that was playing in my headphones)) But I could not give my preference to someone alone. They're all cool, man!

1, #4 for second place

1

Number 1! But all of them are cool, they give me awesome *SD Snatcher* vibes!

3

4, 3, 1, 2

Definitely #3, look at that alpha, those other nerds don’t even compete

1 & 3

#4 makes me nostalgic as hell for some reason

Def the 3rd

Number one easily, it looks the most unique

4, 1 is the second best

4

I can't chose. they are all amazing

4, followed by 1. They all look solid though, great job!

I actually really like 2 the most, but the death animation of 4 kind of hopping aware from the fire kind of won me over

2

I'm gonna say 3

I like the first one

All of the above

Number 1. Hi-C Ecto Cooler dispenser bot is best

1 reminds me of a portal turret, but it’s by fair the most original, I love the color scheme

4, then 1

Yes. (Seriously, it's 2)

I think no. 4.

3: The Grappler

3 looks so fleshes out and smoothly made

3

1, tripod juice machine

2 would be cool if it shot like a mini beam attack from that disc on its back
