However, a clever player will use the combination chart included with the game to produce high-powered items far before learning how to make the items directly. Unfortunately, this creative, if somewhat quirky, gameplay is overshadowed by the bizarre and even quirkier plot and translation. You won't have to play far to get an idea of what to expect. The game opens with your dad blasting you out of bed with what sounds like a mortar. Afterwards you build your first robot with the help of the invention machine in your basement that looks a lot like a SNES controller and is inhabited by two gnomes who incessantly dance disco and blow kisses at you.
Evil is the job.
Things only get weirder from here on in, as you eventually go back in time after a building you're in explodes, and are asked by aliens to help them save their home planet Choco from the evil Hacker space fortress. This is all accompanied by an equally bizarre soundtrack that oddly seems to perfectly complement the action. You should pay your respects to the Mayor. Although it's true that Robotrek definitely isn't for everyone, it can grow on you if you give it the chance. Retrospective by Arpad Korossy , GIA .
