![]() Some inventions, equipment and scraps are not compatible. Scrap 9 and Scrap 10 when combined with some equipment or other scrap result the most powerful weapons in the game. The different Scraps that the protagonist can find, are: Scrap 1, Scrap 2, Scrap 3, Scrap 4, Scrap 5, Scrap 6, Scrap 7, Scrap 8, Scrap 9, Scrap 10, Scrap A and Scrap B. A weapon can increase strength by nine times (called levels). Weapons can also be strengthened by combining one weapon with the same type (swords for a Sword). Aiding the combination process are items called Scrap, these allow the player to create basic equipment or make more powerful ones. More items can be created by finding the "Inventor's Friends" series which can only be accessed depending on the character's level. The player creates and combines items using an invention machine. Much of the game revolves around creating and combining items for the robots' benefit, and is essential to make higher-level equipment. Bonus capsules are also scattered around for the duration of the time limit that can contain items or traps. The player can earn extra Megs of Data by defeating enemies within a time limit and using melee attacks. Most enemies will drop some item or low-level equipment, but these can be "Recycled" to make money. Also all enemies do not give money by default, but certain enemies do drop it on the map after being defeated. Once enough Megs are obtained, the player gains a level. Like most RPG video games, the character gains experience points, called here "Megs of Data". Until the gauge reaches F, all enemies take turns attacking. The gauge's depletion will depend on what action the player used. After the robot acts, a gauge appears with the letters E (empty) and F (full) at either end. During the player's turn, none of the enemies will act, and the robot is free to move around the battlefield and attack with one of its weapons. Only one robot may fight at any time up against at most three enemies the player can switch between robots at the cost of a turn (like in Pokémon). ![]() Battling in the game takes place on a battlefield under a variation of the ATB system, in which the player must wait for a gauge to fill up before acting. ![]() The player usually attacks first, unless the enemy has caught the player's side or from behind. ![]() Unlike many RPGs, the player must invent or create the robots' equipment, use "Program Points" to set the robot's attributes (as opposed to these attributes being set by the game), and program special attacks in a macro-like fashion, although certain commands do special effects instead.īattles are engaged by contact with the enemy on a map. The player is allowed to build a maximum of three robots. The robots are highly customizable, in aspects such as equipment, special attacks, body color and name. Robotrek has similar gameplay to that of most RPG video games, with the notable exception that the main character is not the combatant rather, the robots he invents are, making it more similar to Pokémon and Dragon Quest Monsters. Some sources have noted gameplay similarities between Robotrek and the later released Pokémon and Robopon RPG franchises. Mixed criticism was directly at its graphics, music, and overall presentation. The game's combination of traditional RPG mechanics with the ability to build customizable robots and invent items was positively received. Robotrek sold poorly and was given mostly average reviews upon its release. Designed to appeal to a younger audience, Robotrek's main focus is on allowing the player to raise up to three robots which are built from spare parts that may be found, gained through battles, or generated by the player by means of the game's item combination system. Set on the fictional planet Quintenix, the game puts the player in control of a budding robotics expert who is the son of a famous inventor.Īs its Japanese name implies, Robotrek was intended as a humorous game. It was developed by Quintet and published by Enix in both Japan and North America in 1994. Robotrek, known in Japan as Slapstick ( Japanese: スラップスティック, Hepburn: Surappusutikku), is a role-playing video game (RPG) for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES).
