Robo Pit have received mixed reception. IGN found the PlayStation version passable, saying, "The graphics are a little plain, especially the combat fields, but the robot design is interesting and usually pretty weird - there's everything from crab robots to Doraemon-like guys. The one-player mode tends to get a little monotonous, what with 100 robots to fight, but the two-player mode is where Robo Pit really shines. It's your standard split screen fare, and while this isn't too distracting, a link option would've been nice."[5]
