One of the most (if not the most) original game the SNES has seen, robotrek is simple and complex at the same time. The premise is simple: build robots to beat the bad guys ( i don't want to spoil the story for future players).

Graphics: 8
Rich, colourful and detailed, Robotrek's graphics are,in my opinion, better than chrono trigger. Background is important in this game and the graphics for triggers and switches are well done and will atract your eyes to them (there are exceptions to this).

Sound: 8
The music is far from masterpiece level, but reflects well the atmosphere of the various locations you will visit.

Gameplay: 8
Only confusing the first 5 minutes of gameplay, Robotrek's menu is well done. the controls are what you would expect from a RPG : simple and well done. Constructing your robots is easy and you will receive all the help you need the first time you'll make one. Only problem : the bosses are ridulously powerful and will make you fall into a state of rage more than one time.

Overall: 8
Robotrek is a well done rpg that you should try someday.

If you play this game hope you will have fun. You can also e-mail me for some help.

This is one of my favorite RPGs for the SNES. Original storyline (as far as I know), unique premise of main character using robots to fight, and the beat part of all : you can see the random enemies (I can't say the same for most of the Final Fantasy games)! My only problem with the game is the text. I don't know any Japanese, but I think this game could have been translated better. It also has several grammar errors. All in all, it's a good game.
