iCodes for Warbots: The Burning Question

The iCodes series has brought us a slew of useless applications bent on milking the popularity of text based iPhone RPGs. The main theme of the iCodes series is to collect friend codes that people use to add to their group in the game. Most of these iPhone games require people to go ahead and add others to further their goals like completing missions and winning fights. Each player has a friend code that they then make available to other so they can be added. The iCodes series then offers game specific applications that collect these friend codes so you can get a volume of them to add. The only gaming franchise that avoids this friend code system is the PlayMesh games that ask you to purchase group members from within the game with your earnings. Why then is iCodes releasing applications geared toward the PlayMesh titles? That is exactly the question you would ask when it comes to iCodes for Warbots.

iCodes for Warbots simply collects your own personal codes so you can add other players. This does not mean that you are adding faction members from the Singularity. Adding faction members requires you to actually purchase them. This just means you add people to your Warbots social list that you can communicate with, which has not fundamental purpose in Warbots. The only reason to do this is so you have easier access to fighting people, which you have good enough resources for anyway.

Just like the rest of the series iCodes for Warbots has an inferior interface. You get a single code on a screen that you then tap to reveal another. This is difficult and usually takes several tries, not too mention that it takes quite a bit to load. There are leader boards and chat functions in iCodes for Warbots, but none of these are worthwhile. To top this all off there are hardly any codes in iCodes for Warbots, mainly because most people recognize how useless this service is. Even if you did want to continually add people in Warbots you could have a much easier time of using websites where people post their Warbots information so you would not have to keep going back and forth between the applications. There are a million better uses of $0.99 than iCodes for Warbots and making a list would be more fun. One out of ten stars.
