A Robot Named Fight is a self-described “Metroguelite” — a Metroid-inspired roguelike with some light elements of persistent progression. It’s run-based, meaning the lay of the level changes every playthrough. On paper, that sounds like a solid idea. Unfortunately, it doesn’t quite work. Mechanically, it’s good. The game wears its Metroid inspiration on its sleeve, with the character design and movement vaguely evoking Samus, even going so far as to have doors that need to be shot open to move between rooms. Your abilities run the gamut from different shot types (fire, electric, missile, and so on) to moves like slides or higher jumps to expand your maneuverability. What kind of abilities you’ll get vary each run, which keeps things interesting since you never quite know what build you’ll be working with. One problem I find with most roguelikes is how easily they push you...
