Mekabolt+
SCORE: 80
I am very thankful Family Friendly Gaming
was given a digital download code for Mekabolt+ on the Xbox Series X.
This exact version of Mekabolt+ can be found on the PS5 and Xbox One.
Mekabolt+ is a retro 2D side scrolling action adventure puzzle video
game. We must find the battery at the end of the level to help out the
robots. The robots will go crazy without their batteries. I guess these
robots were not equipped with solar panels to be more self sustainable.
Mekabolt+ has retro graphics and retro music. I actually enjoyed the
tunes in Mekabolt+. I was not as impressed with the graphics especially
with the violent content. We shoot a variety of robots in Mekabolt+. The
shooting stuns them. Or the shooting will cause the robot to do
something we need. Like shoot out spears that will embed into walls. We
can then use those spears to access higher locations. I loved the robots
we shot and turned around. Those robots would fire some combustible orbs
that were great at removing green tiles from our way.
There are one hundred levels within Mekabolt+. They get progressively
more difficult. Each of the four worlds in Mekabolt+ have a theme. For
example Jungle and Desert. The backgrounds of the levels fit the theme
of the world. There are even certain blocks that could fit the theme.
For example blocks that go away start in the desert world. I learned to
pay attention the floors in Mekabolt+ because there could be traps like
spikes. Mekabolt+ contains a plathora of traps. We can stun the robots,
jump on them, push them around and more. We cannot run into them when
they are not stunned.
The different worlds in Mekabolt+ require so many batteries to unlock.
The biggest issue I had while playing Mekabolt+ was jumping over little
level differences. Say the block I want to jump on is just higher than
the one I am on. I had more issues jumping over that than anything else
in Mekabolt+. I actually enjoyed playing Mekabolt+. I play so many
games, and so many retro styled games that at times they bore me.
Mekabolt+ was actually interesting and fun.
I would love for Mekabolt+ to make it to the physical copy format at
some point. I know I have played similar games in the past. Even then I
enjoyed playing Mekabolt+. I hope to see more games like Mekabolt+ in
the future. A graphical upgrade would be fantastic in my personal and
professional opinion. The best part about Mekabolt+ is learning how to
progress through the levels. Some concepts are easy to pick up and a few
required a bit more thought. I also learned to test things by trial and
error. You know the real and true scientific method.
