I'm trying to play every American JRPG for the SNES, but I've run into a problem. Robotrek isn't fun. I haven't gotten through the first dungeon yet, and I've asked myself what I'm doing too often. When I finally reached the boss, it went poorly. I did two damage per attack. That's no fun.
I also feel like I've already seen the extent of the combat, too, which isn't exciting to me at a base level.
There seems to be a fair bit of mechanics here around creating robots, combining items, and equipping them to those bots, but it's just not working for me. It's slow, not streamlined, and too grindy.
I was liking the world, and I've read the story was rad, but all that other stuff already has me frustrated and bored. I don't know if Robotrek is a bad game or just not one for me, but I'm already putting it down after four hours. I'm not going to grade it in case it's a me problem. I'm just writing this update as a public declaration that I tried the game and am moving on.
Also, the music sucks.
