Beat in slow motion mode. I did the stages blue 1st, saving the 2 red ones for last. I tried several robot combos and found the bouncy ball one the best because I could bounce off walls and the floor to get good range and angles. The laser was 2nd with a decent down diagonal shot, and boomerang 3rd. The others sucked with very limited range and I never tried flamethrower or mine. This game reminded me a lot of Power Blade only punching stuff and using the letter boxes to make combos for each bot. Alpha beta beta was the only one I needed to remember for bouncy and I even got the special suit twice during the last level, including going into the final boss. There were attack up, healing and extra life platforms that required money to activate. The stages had strong Mega Man vibes with a mix of combat and platforming, gimmicks unique to each stage (conveyors, ice, gravity swap, water etc), enemies that did not respawn and obvious boss rooms with challenging bosses. They moved around a lot and randomly chose from a few different moves making the fights engaging. Overall I did not find it quite as good as the 2 Power Blades, with more linear stage design, melee focus, few pickups and the somewhat awkward method of getting the bots and armor. Still very good fun game though.
7.8/10
