An sbsolutely overlooked DS classic
I never played the original CUstom RObo, but this was my jam when I was stuck on car rides for hours and hours.
It's a sequel that takes an approach and setting similar to Megaman Battle Network: showcasing a sem-futuristic urban world where kids enter the cyberspace to fight while impersonating funky robot humanoids. It's a fun setting that is accompanied by a cast of characters that are simple, but really endearing, creating a anrrative that just like Battle Network doesn't shy aways from darker moments.
The progression is nothing to scoff at: it's similar to a classic RPG, where you go around interacting with various people, but the battles is where the game truly shines: being completely in 3D is already impressive for a DS title, but the incredibly frenetic battles are variety of maps you can fight in never chase to amaze and leads to battles that require a more strategic planning in the weapon selection and the positioning. The enemy variety also lead to some specific boss fights that will keep you on your toes without feeling unfair (even if they kinda re unfair in the context of the story)
Add the incredible ability of weapon customization and the ability to play as different characters leads to an addictive battle system that I went back in over and over again.
Absolute overlooked nintendo DS title. There is a reason why this series is often considered one of the hidden gems in Nintendo's catalogue. I really recommend it.
