Custom Robo: Battle Revolution

Description

Custom Robo: Battle Revolution, released internationally as just Custom Robo, follows an unnamed protagonist who, after the death of his father, sets out to fulfil his wish of becoming a licensed Robo Commander. Joining the bounty‑hunting team Steel Hearts, you learn to pilot and customise miniature combat robots known as “Custom Robos”, and battle them in virtual arenas called Holosseums. The story escalates from small jobs to uncovering the mystery of Rahu, a powerful, ancient autonomous Robo threatening the domed city, and confronting the Z Syndicate, who seek to control it.

Gameplay revolves around collecting and swapping parts for your Robo such as the chassis, gun, bomb, pod, and legs, to suit different strategies. Battles are fast‑paced, with movement, ranged attacks, and close‑quarters strikes, and arenas often feature hazards like ice or lava. The campaign called A New Journey is followed by The Grand Battle, a series of tournaments against tougher opponents. Despite the detailed customisations, the game was somewhat underwhelming, repetitious, and not graphically ambitious for a mid-generation title.
