Otto Matic is one of those games I feel weird reviewing. I played this along with so many other Pangea Software games when I was growing up. Now its on iOS, so does it hold up?
Lets start with the graphics. While not the best looking of Pangea Softwares line up, Otto Matic is by no means bad looking. It translated well to the iOS when so many developers have a hard time making 3D iOS titles.
Gameplay is simple, you run around alien worlds shooting enemies and saving humans. This combines the elements from the original Bugdom and Nanosaur from 1999 and 1998. The game is 10 levels long, and the enemy diversity, on par with Bugdom, plus the diversity in doing things, environments, and weaponry truly keeps your attention. However, what is there to return to?
The music is stunning. Few games have a competent and CD-quality game score, but Aleksander Dmitrijevic really tried hard, like Michael Beckett. That and the terrific sound quality are what had a nicely appropriate Sci-fi feel.
Overall, this is still a fun game with a wonderful tutorial to get you started plus a lot to keep you playing until the end. Its not the game Bugdom was but its the next best thing. If you played this growing up: Guaranteed nostalgia. Also, NO IN APP PURCHASES!
Otto Matic gets an 8/10. Mac version gets a 9/10.
