bruh wtf
i thought this would be a bite sized mega man legends 1 where you play in tron's mech
and there is a little of that, particularly in the beginning with the opening level as tiesel
but dont be fooled, that section is a red herring to make you think the misadventures of tron bonne isn't a compilation of really bad minigames with some of the worst padding ive seen in a game
HALF OF THIS GAME IS BOX PUZZLES
WHY IS IT BOX PUZZLES
THEY ALL SUCK
theres also minigames where you train your bots by either tossing bombs at targets or cooking food, and its weirdly strict for both and they both just suck and the game expects you to grind to level up the bots but like its such a slog i cant imagine actually going through with it, i suffered through some low level bots because it was ultimately a choice between misery and agony
and you need those bots trained for missions such as a first person dungeon crawler where you shoot your goons at buttons and holes and sometimes theres an enemy that you punch or a boss that you throw your nazi lego robots at but overall its just moving in a dungeon
theres also these annoying levels on sart farm where you tell the servbots to grab animals and its really annoying because robots will attack them and cause them to drop the animal and if you shoot the bad robots your shots dont do enough damage to stun or kill them (and thats after buying all the upgrades and using a gattling gun) so you kinda just need to keep telling your bots to kidnap the animals other robots keep spamming you and your robots (not even doing much damage mind you) until eventually you get them all, and then the missions still not done because you need to protect the van of animals you stole from a big robot and fucking it does so much damage to the van and only targets it and its so much faster and you do so little damage to it that the only way i found to be viable at protecting the van is to stun it by walking into its legs and just repeating that until the van is safe (occassionally healing)
another mission you can do is... um i guess theres one where you rob a bank, but tron gets sent to the wrong place and you just fight off some cops for 3 minutes... and i guess theres some ruins you can go to? but like theres not do. i feel like im missing one or two, but thats pretty much the bulk of the game
and then at the end you fight a pretty bad boss with a health bar going beyond the screen and do little plicks at it until its dead....and you dont even do it as tron bonne, but one of the servbots

overall not a very good game, really annoying and grindy but it at least looks cool
