This is the most obnoxious video game I've ever played.
The idea of giant mechs sounds cool and funny on paper, but it's executed here roughly. The neat gimmick of each character having their own unique way of accurately hitting the ball is completely overshadowed by the rest of this game's annoyances. Here's everything wrong with this game:
- The ball physics are awful. Sometimes the ball will bounce way too far when it hits the ground, and sometimes the ball will be stuck in tiny collisions of the course that require you to hit backwards.
- Traversal is slow as hell. I get that these are giant mechs you're controlling, but you'll occassionally have to walk/hover all the way back to your previous position when your ball ends up going out-of-bounds.
- There's barely any explanation to any of the gameplay, including stuff like special abilities. What exactly is the winning condition here? Is it supposed to be played with actual golf rules, or is it literally just seeing who gets their ball in the hole first?
- The only cool differentation in the courses occurs in the last level of the campaign... which only lasts a minute.
- Cutscene bugs happen occasionally; they're triggered too early. I've had a few moments where an end chapter cutscene was triggered before I even finished the hole, some of which I don't even know whether or not they were intentional. I even had a moment where the cutscene I was watching was skipped halfway through.
- I have no idea what's going on in this campaign. The voice acting in both the commentary and cutscenes feels like a goddamn middle school project, the dialogue is filled with nothing but obnoxious puns and humor, references to movies, anime, and games, and is all repetitive as hell. And the ending? Very anti-climactic.
100ft Robot Golf is all gimmick and no substance. Unless you're a hardcore anime fan, don't even bother with this one.
