Being a mech with a brain the size of a planet isn’t all it’s cracked up to be, especially when you keep getting attacked by other robo🍰ts whose brains seem distinctly smaller. How can you tell? Simple. They can’t even manage the rudimentary math that would tell them taking on your 4,000-odd HP with the strength of 215 isn’t a very good idea. Not that we were complaining about that once 100 enemy mechs appeared on our DS screen all at once.

The manga-y animations for the actual attacks are quite flashy, if kiddy, with the ‘bots slashing and brandishing knives around like nobody’s business, lending this 𒀰robo-strategy the weight of personality. Still, get past the graphics and it all comes down to adding up numbers - which is actually quite a ♒relief, given that every single menu option’s in Japanese.
