April 2025
Where the original is all about building robots and nurturing a peaceful little colony, Autonauts vs Piratebots takes that same charming automation gameplay and turns it into a battle plan. Instead of looking after colonists, you’re now facing off against waves of pirate-themed bots, and it’s your job to build, program, and send your robotic troops into combat. It’s practically the same game at its core. You’re still programming bots, fine-tuning your production lines, and setting up elaborate systems. The big difference is the goal has shifted from calm colony-building to strategic, slightly ridiculous robot warfare.

9/10 I hope there's a 3rd iteration. It feels improved from the first game, extra objectives (fighting being the major one), and it constantly keeps you engaged without being overwhelming. It does have an option it points out during the tutorial to halt the fighting if you need a breather at any moment. So it can always be chill if you want it to and you can reverse it to go back to fighting at anytime. 100% worth full price if you like to do light coding / puzzling. Super cute and even though it looks like a kids game, it takes a decent amount of thinking to get everything running efficiently.

It's a fun programming game. The only things I miss about it: 1) Being able to edit instruction targets. Once you've set up construction on Workbench 1, you have to repeat it (or at least parts of it) for Workbench 2, because you can't just edit the target. 2) Better encyclopedia entries for vehicles and workbenches. I ended up just building everything at least once so I could see how it worked.

Fun casual programming game, having much better bots from the start (compared to the original Autonauts) is very appreciated. Seems like a fun way to introduce a kid to programming, recording the player and editing afterwards is very intuitive.

If you liked the first game, this is just an amazing improvement over that game. If you're new to the series, this game is like factorio, but with cute characters
