In today’s F2Pmeter instalment, we want to put Guns and Robots to a test. By the way, we lately published a review on this robot-crushing 3rd-person online shooter MMO developed by Masthead Studios, which you maybe want to have a look at, too. And let’s just quickly remind you that our testing candidates begin with a 100% of free-to-play-ness, and depending on how our questions have to be answered, this percentage will change.

Guns and Robots allows players to build and design their own personal robot, which they are provided for with an in-depth customisation system, in order to then drive it into battles against other players' creations.

But enough of the talking, let's begin the test!

No. Players can simply create an account and start playing Guns and Robots for absolutely free since there’s no purchase whatsoever required.

 

 

No. Designed from the scratch as an F2P title, Guns and Robots doesn't offer any subscription feature.

 

 

No. Up to now, all updates released have been free of charge, which will most likely be continued in the future.

 

 

Yes – -5%. The game offers a premium currency for purchase, which enables customers to buy upgrading materials or can be converted into credits, the in-game currency earned through gameplay.

 

 

Yes (but...) – -10%. One the one hand, those things only available for purchase with the game’s premium currency are primarily cosmetic items while all the other stuff can be bought with the regular in-game currency. However, players are able to spend real-world money on credits, which grants them with access to each part and module available in Guns and Robots right from the start and might be considered as an advantage.

 

No. There are no options available for purchase which would allow for further UI customisation.

 

 

Yes. The game doesn’t feature classes nor races and allows everyone access to the same selection of basic robot parts, no matter whether they’re free or paying gamers.

 

 

No. Guns and Robots doesn’t incorporate any sort of auction house.

 

 

Yes – -10%. Player’s are only granted a limited amount of inventory slots for the robot parts and have to spend the premium currency in order to acquire additional slots.

 

 

Yes. None of the game modes or maps is restricted in any way.

 

 

No. Considering the fact that Guns and Robots is an online arena shooter, there actually isn’t any "end-game" in the stricter sense, but the entirety of PvE and PvP content is available to everyone.

 

 

Yes – +10%. As players are able to earn in-game currency through regular gameplay in order to get access to all available robot parts, purchases of the premium currency only allows them to save some of their time, which makes their in-game life easier, while they are additionally granted further customisation option regarding their account (logos available for purchase) as well as their robots (paint jobs).

Our F2Pmeter test of Guns and Robots results in a 85% of free-to-play-ness.
