Traditionally, RPGs made in flash have been pretty lame. There’s a few that stand out now and then, and Mobile Weapon is about to join their ranks.

Tyler Projects has developed an amazing RPG engine for this game and pumped out a lot of really good 3d-rendered artwork to build a pretty detailed sci-fi world where everyone runs around in fighting robots. I loves me some fighting robots!

Not only does this game look beautiful, it SOUNDS beautiful. All the effects are there, and there’s plenty of variety with the music as you go from level to level and into combat screens.

The controls and interfaces on this game are very easy to pick up. I actually skipped all the tutorial stuff at the beginning and it didn’t hinder my abilities to play in any way. You can use the keyboard or the mouse, or a combination of both, so it’s desktop AND notebook friendly, which is more than some games can boast.

Unfortunately, I have a very short attention span, and the very first quest in this game was to go about gathering parts by killing things in random battles. After 20 or so battles without finding the last part I needed, I got bored and that ended my adventure… so I won’t be shelling out the $16 for the full version any time soon.

That said, I know a lot of RPG fans LOVE this type of game, and as I said earlier, it’s one of the best made RPGs I’ve ever seen in Flash. I would expect a great following for this game, and it may even convert a few people who aren’t typically fans of this genre. I just won’t be one of them.

If you have a lot of free time, and no social life, I think this might actually be worth the upgrade price, and you should DEFINITELY try the free version.
