"AIPD is a competent twin-stick shooter that lacks true depth. Local cooperative play is always appreciated, however, and the inclusion of such a rare feature is something that newly-minted developer Blazing Badger absolutely deserves commendation for. But with only one level layout, gameplay can become repetitive fairly quickly. You'll have seen everything the game has to offer in one session, easily. Mixing up guns with ship abilities helps to add some variety, but at the end of the day only twin-stick shooter fanatics will find AIPD truly worth their time and money."

About

You control a Freelancer robot stranded on a desolate military planet, balancing driving, exploration, and turn-based combat to uncover why your creators vanished. The game fuses open-world racing with RPG character upgrades and tactical decision-making. Missions mix piloting vehicles, hacking systems, and managing resources as you piece together the planet’s history. Community reviews on Metacritic average 6.5 out of 10, with Steam users reporting 68% positive. The premise of a robot protagonist in a sci-fi mystery stands out, though gameplay shifts between genres can feel uneven. Released in 2004, it leans into early 2000s sci-fi aesthetics with a focus on environmental storytelling. Some praise its ambition, others note dated mechanics, but the blend of driving and strategy remains distinctive.
