How do you start with Medabots?
>>
>>12429196
go to the pharmacy, pick up a medikit and evolve it, it should turn into a medabot but there's a 15% chance it'll turn into a meda rare steak instead
>>
I heard the collection is being localized, just wait for that

I think is one of those "not for everyone" kind of series. You can start with the remake of Medabots 2 on the GBA (the only main line game to get localized). You can also try the fan translation of the first and third games.

Wait, really?

Yeah they finally got a hold of the IP back in the west, they are also releasing a new digital card game (not free to play) and the survivors clone (free to play)

The GBA games area good start. Keep in mind that the AX games are reskinned Medarot G, which are fighting, 2d platforming games and not RPGs like Medabots/Medarot 2 CORE.
Some pointers:
-Kabuto/Metabee is almost always the easier version because of the head Missile attack from your initial Medarot.
-The mascot bot (medal and parts) you get will carry you throughout the game, but you'll experiment around once different terrains are in place and you get more tinpets.
-If you do pick Kuwagata/Rokusho, remember to use scout (head) once or twice, then sword/strike (right) and hammer/berserk (left) to disable bots. It's tempting to spam hammer but the bots that use it can't defend or evade.
-Press use on the bookshelfs inside the school's classrooms to understand more about the game's mechanics. It feels daunting at first but you'll get the hang of it.
-Don't worry about collecting every part on your fist run.
The rest of the games are harder, to be honest. I think you won't find enemies with mixed parts in the localized game and 2 is in a place where it had good mechanics but not many features from following games like Medachange.
Give them a try and ask in here or /m/ for help if you are stuck.

I always thought the show was extremely underrated. Are the games any good?
>>
>>12429505
They can be repetitive but they are nice if they click with you. I think there's a lot of wasted potential when it comes to difficulty and replayability despite being a franchise with so many entries, but I like them.

>>12429389
I know that but this is the first time hearing about the collection getting translated. That's huge

>How do you start with Medabots?
Not with AX that's for sure. I own the cart, tried playing it on GBA and couldn't make sense of the combat.
The main games are strategy RPGs with a sort of ATB instead of back and forth turns. You can build a team for speed and attack a bunch of times before your enemy has a chance to do anything, you could also build 1 tank and 2 guard bots to keep the tank alive, there's a lot of freedom in that sense.
Just don't start with spinoffs.

GBA really was the last bastion of soul

With the anime. Skip Damashii.

I had no idea it was an anime!

You could have very easily discovered that tidbit had you been genuinely interested to check out the series.
