Robotica (SAT)
Last night I dug out my Saturn and it’s required cables and controller, hooked it up to the TV and played 20 minutes of Robotica. Why did I do this?
Way back when I went through a glut of Robotica questions on Giant Bomb trivia. It got me interested in the game, since I can’t get enough Japanese robot corridor shooters. I tracked down a copy at Game Exchange in Springfield while shopping with Jim. He’s got it and said it wasn’t bad.
I beg to differ. It’s awful. It’s slightly better than Kileak: The DNA Imperative. I got 8 levels in before I realized that there would be no saving my game. It’s one long run through or you’re playing the same levels over and over. In those 8 levels I saw four different enemies, two tilesets, and one ultra-shitty cutscene. Each level played exactly the same; find the key, find the exit. One key, one exit, nothing compelling you to search the rest of the level.
I’m not giving this game a “finished” number but I am finished with this game. Probably forever. I’m more likely to play through the rest of Kileak before I pick this one up ever again.

Whaaaat? That game is totally fun.
That game was fun like having a nail driven into my toe. Slowly. And if you enjoyed Robotica, you should really play Epidemic or BRAHMA Force: Assault on Beltlogger 9. You’ll instantly renounce your Robotica loving ways.
