I actually enjoyed these much more than the arcade games. I would have been a happier camper if there were far more mini-games like this.īesides those games, you’ll also come across some puzzles and mini-games in Button City. Fortunately, you only have to be passable at Gobabots to progress through the plot. As for the rhythm game, Prisma Beats, it starts simply enough but ramps up way too quickly. Nevertheless, it repeatedly kicked my butt. rEVolution Racer is a stripped-down racing game.
Unfortunately, I had a hard time with the other two. Mostly because I was actually able to beat it. But of the three main arcade games, it’s definitely my favorite. You can also attack the opposing team and steal their fruit, or spend your time protecting your allies. The main draw is Gobabots, a sort of arena brawler where you and a team of 3 other robots work to gather the most fruit before the clock runs out. Since the story is about arcade culture and how it can draw us into groups, it’s no surprise you’ll be playing some games. It really left me reeling and made me care about how the story ended. And when I found out, it was a gut punch. Button, though you won’t find out what until the very end of the story. He’s a soulless consumer driven solely by greed. Well, technically, he’s skinny, but you know what I mean. Button, it’s suddenly in danger of being bought and replaced by a literal corporate fat cat, Peppermint Pepperbottom. Much of the action of the game centers around the titular arcade, Button City. The fattest of fat cats, Peppermint Pepperbottom.
