A very fun and charming step into the next generation for Custom Robo after the N64 titles. The story and characters are good fun, the battle system and controls are tight and responsive, and the soundtrack and vibe of the game are incredibly stylish. I didn't expect much from the plot but it goes into some very wild directions.

Really my biggest gripe is the entire story is a very slow text-based affair with battles every so often. It got to a point late into the story that I genuinely wanted to stop playing entirely, but I carried on because the game was just fun enough to edge past it.

All that said, this is a great multiplayer game with a lot of customization involved, so grab some friends, build some bots, and get to smackin' each other.
