Gameplay

In 100ft Robot Golf, players control giant robots and compete to shoot their golf ball into the hole.

Players choose from a number of mechas to play through golf courses with. Each mecha has different abilities and gameplay mechanics for hitting the ball.[1] As opposed to traditional golf, all players play at the same time, with the goal of getting their ball into the hole first.[2] Players can demolish buildings,[2][3] block opposing shots with their mecha, and attack other competitors. In-game commentators (Justin, Griffin, and Travis McElroy) spectate the players' actions.[4]

Development and release

[edit | edit source]

Indie studio No Goblin previously developed Roundabout in 2014.[4] During a Let's Play of Neo Turf Masters,[5] a member of No Goblin mentioned that a game having mechas play golf in space was never made before.[6]

According to the co-founder of No Goblin, Dan Teasdale, the studio took anime from the 1970s and 1980s and "overdubbed it".[7] Teasdale helped to develop Rock Band and Destroy All Humans!.[7] No Goblin initially produced the in-game commentary themselves;[8] however, they ultimately decided to commission the McElroy brothers because they needed people "way funnier than [them]".[7]

Sony requested the studio to port 100ft Robot Golf to the PlayStation VR (PS VR).[9] During the PlayStation Experience 2015 opening keynote, 100ft Robot Golf was announced for the PS VR[10] and PlayStation 4 (PS4), stating that the game would be published by 2016.[11] No Goblin released 100ft Robot Golf for PS4 on October 10, 2016,[12] and for PS VR on October 13.[13] After the studio improved the graphics and writing, the game was released for Microsoft Windows on March 16, 2017.[4]

Reception

[edit | edit source]

The game has received "mixed or average" reviews, holding an aggregated score of 56 on Metacritic.[14] On OpenCritic, the game has a "weak" approval rating of 0%.[15][16][17][18][19][20][21]
