Medarot G : Kuwagata Version Overview
Medarot G : Kuwagata Version is the Japanese origin for a North American release, where characters and robots were altered for that market. The core experience is a 2D fighting game set in platform-style arenas, centered on team battles where wagered robot parts are the prize.
Progression involves first aiming to win a championship before confronting a group called the Rubberobo Gang. To overcome the variety of arenas and opponents, players must adapt their approach, which can mean altering a Medabot's equipped parts or overall battle tactics.
A key system is the Medaforce, a special ability available to all Medabots but with effects dictated by the specific Medal installed. These Medals can be trained to enhance performance in areas like close combat, ranged attacks, or defensive support.
Collecting and assembling the wagered parts onto a player's own Medabots is a central loop. Certain robot parts and Medals are exclusive to this version or its counterpart. To obtain every possible part and Medal, trading and battling via a Link Cable is required.
