Image: MobyGames

Rise of the Robots

Real Bad Steel


Genre: fighting - 1v1

Publisher: Acclaim

Year: 1994

System: MD PAL


Gameplay Score: 0

Gameplay Notes:

Battles are long. Even on Easy and the longest time allowed (60 secs) most battles end when the time runs out No special moves that I could find Enemy attack have ridiculously long reach and most can't be blocked Only one robot to fight as. Dragon is the only other fighting game I can think of which did this. Well, also Ultraman. Basically unplayable without a 6 button controller since I can't figure out how to kick using a 3 button. So it's even worse than the SNES version, which I gave a zero.


Level Design Score: 1

Level Design Notes:

Just a bunch of metallic, vaguely futuristic warehouses with nothing to look at. Only the Story and Versus modes


Theme Score: 2

Theme Notes:

Mechs fighting has potential. If only you could use more than one robot!


Art Style Score: 1

Art Style Notes:

Almost no frames of animation Some of the ugliest prerendered artwork in a video game Colors are so washed out, even mroe here than in the SNES version. Whoever colorized the game really really likes purple Character models themselves are nice


Audio Score: 1

Audio Notes:

Far worse music than the SNES version. Sounds are almost non-existent.


Overall Score: 11

Review ID: 6830
