"Kiborg is an unapologetically fun and somewhat addictive beat-em-up title that I heavily enjoyed. The developers did a great job enhancing the combat, adding more upgrade paths, weapons, and enemies, and did a wonderful job adding more variety to the …"

"Too much of my time with Kiborg was spent thinking how much more fun I&s;d be having if the game dumped the roguelite elements and just went full old-school third person action brawler. So many of its failings could be …"

"Kiborg may not have the polish of a big-budget title, but it nails the fundamentals. Gritty, addictive, and unapologetically brutal, this is one roguelite that knows exactly what it is and is able to deliver on that."

"If you&s;re looking for an easy rogue-lite power fantasy, KIBORG probably isn&s;t for you. But if you crave skill-based progression, gritty cyberpunk horror, and gameplay that demands and respects your mastery, it&s;s absolutely worth your time. Sobaka Studio created something …"
