Yuguosoft's new game, Robo5 hits the AppStore this Thursday!


Yuguosoft, a Shanghai based development company, with an astounding 67 years of combined experience spread between 8 people, is bringing their new action puzzler, Robo5 to the AppStore on October 20th. The game has already been released in the MacStore, and has an iPad release date of October 27th, but is already gaining quite a bit of attention from iOS gamers. Their trailer hit YouTube on the 10th, and sense then, quite a few sites have taken notice of the game, including us here at The App Shack.



We were lucky enough to get a preview copy of the game, and let me tell you, I have been finding it hard to play, or even think, of anything else since starting this little robot's journey. In the game, you'll guide a robot who's trying to find his purpose in life through a series of increasingly tough puzzles. There's 40 levels spread across 5 worlds, along with 8 unlockable challenge levels. The game also has 2 different endings, adding to the replay value that 6 GameCenter Leaderboards bring along with it.
Those of you who have seen the trailer have probably also seen the responses that it looks a lot like the Atlus published PS3/XBOX360 title, Catherine, and it does, but it's got enough differences to not come off as a just a cheesy clone, and has originality in a type of game that the AppStore has yet to see. You can find out more in our official review that will be posted up along with the game's release on October 20th, but until then, check out this awesome trailer put up by Yuguosoft.
