Oh hey it’s time for Custom Robo once more! Sorry about the missed update!
Zodi Plays: Custom Robo [25] Rahu III
Video Length: 29:34
In this video, we confront the horrible truth; the Zee Syndicate leader has a twin, and now we have to do a double-battle against two illegal crime robos with Harry as our only back up. Sweet. After dealing with that we descend one floor lower… to Rahu III’s nest.
I’ll be honest here; the end of the game EXTREMELY snuck up on me. I don’t remember ANY of this happening so soon, so quickly. But now it’s hear, and it is time to fight the meat robo in it’s ultimate muscle form! And it is… not a great boss fight. I understand that a 3v1 is hard to make exciting, Oboro made it clear such a thing is rather anti climactic. But making the enemy immune to status effects, have an instant rebirth period, and just not be flinched AT ALL by ANY damage at all is… kind of nonsense. It doesn’t help that the sheer size of the arena, done so to ensure Rahu II doesn’t overwhelm YOU, makes it that some parts just aren’t viable at all! Of course, given that bombs and pods require the enemy to be playing by the same rules as you to actually be good, the only part that really matters is your Gun. So yeah, not the best boss fight in the world.
But, we do manage to beat it. And um… Rahu dies after we beat it? It is unclear and a rather anti climactic actually, so oops! I guess we can be safe to say that Rahu is destroyed for good, but… I don’t buy it. Regardless, Sergei drops us one last dad message, wherein he talks about how the government was ill prepared for this and how it stole curiosity from people (which is actually a pretty solid line, truth be told). We give over the memory erasure device to Sergei so he and Linda can work the best way to use it, and then we all go home as the credits roll… and over the credits, we are introduced to First Person Mode, a method of playing the game that as a kid I fell in love with because it’s just so… like look at it. It’s rad as hell. Maybe it’s just me but I love it!
And so ends Custom Robo…'s first campaign. We’ve still got the Grand Battle ahead, though what actually happens there I don’t recall because it’s been forever and apparently everything I THOUGHT happened in the regular campaign happens here instead so… look forward to that, I suppose! I hope you all enjoyed, see you all next time.
