Another Pokemon-like Game from Japan: Tokobot Plus

Maybe the world is fed up with Japanese games, like Pokemon, DBZ or even Final Fantasy, but no one seems to care. They keep on coming, as another game with Asian roots will come out. This time it is Tokobot Plus: Mysteries of the Karakuri.

First of all, what is Karakuri? And why does it have mysteries? The official press release starts like this: "An ancient and powerful robot" bla bla. Get real! Ancient robot? As oxyMORONIC as it may sound, this is what the press release says.

Not to mention this "ancient robot" has shape shifting powers. It can turn into a scorpion-shaped robot, called Scorpio (quite original I might add). It has other two shapes in which in can turn into, one of them being a human-shaped robot, but the third and final one was not revealed (God no!).

The enemies that you will face in the game are also presented, and those too will be robots. Samurai-shaped, tank-shaped and hummer-shaped robots will protect the ruins in the game. If you manage to defeat them, you will get a Super Chip, containing the powers of the robot defeated (kinda like Mortal Kombat's ShangTsung stealing your soul).
