Transformers: Robots in Disguise offers engaging gameplay that revolves around assembling a two-Bot team prior to each mission. You can choose from the Autobot roster you have unlocked, each with unique abilities and strengths. Enhancing the excitement, powerups can be added to the powerup bar, offering a strategic element to the gameplay. The missions are set in a captivating 3D environment, viewed from a side perspective at a 30-degree angle.
You’ll control your characters through intuitive touch and swipe controls, allowing them to execute melee attacks, fire ranged weapons, and even perform evasive maneuvers like dodges and shoulder barge attacks. Building combos by consecutively striking enemies adds to the thrill, rewarding you with higher scores. When a character's power dwindles, they can be switched out for the other character chosen at the mission's start.
This feature adds a layer of tactical decision-making, as the resting character regains health while the alternate takes the forefront. The powerup bar, filled through mission completions or barcode scanning, grants access to Kreon allies and deployable bombs and buffs, amplifying the action on-screen. However, the reliance on scanning toy symbols may limit some players' experiences. Those without the corresponding RID toys may miss out on unlocking specific characters.
Immersive and engaging
The overall gameplay experience of Transformers: Robots in Disguise can be described as an action-packed and engaging journey into the world of Autobots and Decepticons. The game manages to successfully blend physical toy interaction with mobile gameplay, providing a unique and immersive experience for players. The main highlight of the gameplay is the ability to scan Autobot/Decepticon symbols on the RID toys, which temporarily unlocks new playable characters.
