GameffineFarzeen K HMay 202584/100If you're looking for an easy rogue-lite power fantasy, KIBORG probably isn't for you. But if you crave skill-based progression, gritty cyberpunk horror, and gameplay that demands and respects your mastery, it's absolutely worth your time. Sobaka Studio created something savage, compelling, and refreshingly old-school in its respect for player skill. KIBORG is a sleeper hit that deserves a spot in the conversation alongside the best in the genre. I'm still not done with it, and I don't think I will be anytime soon.

Nindie SpotlightJustin NationDec 20258.1/10While its presentation could be better, and I wish it were more efficient, once you get dialed in this is a unique roguelike brawling experience
Read the reviewThere you have it, a gritty, brutal roguelite to add to your ever growing collection. I really enjoyed my time playing Kiborg, no I wasn’t amazing at it but that’s the beauty of the game, it rewards you just enough for progressing. After each death you encounter you think “I got this, one more try”, to the point where that “one more try” becomes 2:30AM on a work night without even realising. It’s fun, addictive and the cybernetics give that extra flair to keep it interesting.

TheSixthAxisAdrian BurrowsMay 20255/10Too much of my time with Kiborg was spent thinking how much more fun I'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 ignored in that form. Instead, Kiborg is a slightly underwhelming rougelite that looks like it should be far more fun that it is.

XboxEraJesse NorrisApr 20255/10KIBORG caught my interest with its good looks, and quickly lost it with its bland and unsatisfying gameplay. Using some of the best rogue-lite tactics can’t help this one in the end, as its hilariously bad voiceover work and boring, repetitive combat make it a slog.
