Item Description
Most RPG heroes go looking for a better sword. The young inventor at the center of Robotrek builds a better robot, then rebuilds it, repaints it, renames it and writes its fighting moves himself. Developed by Quintet, the studio behind ActRaiser, Soul Blazer and Illusion of Gaia, and published by Enix in North America in October 1994, it is one of the strangest and most hands-on role-playing games on the Super Nintendo.
The invention machine is the heart of it. Parts and scrap found in the world, won in battle or invented outright can be combined into new weapons and gear, and more recipes open up as you level. Fuse two weapons of the same type and they grow stronger, up to nine levels, so a humble starting weapon can become the centerpiece of a build. You can assemble up to three robots, each with its own equipment, color scheme and name, and rather than letting the game decide how they grow, you spend Program Points to set their attributes yourself. Even special attacks are yours to design: combos are programmed like little macros of commands, and working out which sequences hit hardest is half the fun.
Combat runs on a variation of the Active Time Battle idea, with one robot in the ring at a time against up to three enemies and a turn lost whenever you swap in another. Fast, close-quarters victories earn bonus experience, which the game charmingly calls Megs of Data, so it rewards aggressive, efficient fights. Wrapped around the systems is a light-hearted story: the hero and his father, the famous inventor Dr. Akihabara, move to the town of Rococo just as a gang called the Hackers, led by Blackmore, starts hunting for the Tetron, a stone that lets its holder see and travel through time.
In Japan it was called Slapstick, and Yuzo Koshiro's studio Ancient handled the audio. Critics in 1994 were cool on its plain presentation but praised the building and invention systems, and that split explains its cult following today. Sending robots into battle instead of fighting yourself has drawn comparisons to the monster-raising RPGs that came later, and it makes Robotrek a fascinating hidden branch of the 16-bit RPG family tree, built for players who would rather tinker with a party than simply follow a script.
