This thing seems so many ways like it shouldn't work. I've gotta say though that it is one of the most memorable and enjoyable experiences I can remember from my youth. Clunking around as a cyborg, beating up other cyborgs, and being able to steal their parts on the fly is hugely enjoyable. I remember finding a review and the person said everything individually about this game seems terrible straight up but I can't stop playing. I know the feeling man, we played the heck out of that game and kept coming back for more. easily in my top 50 games of my entire life and probably wager in the top 20 co-op experiences I've ever had. Worth saving for sure.
I have a story, one of my class mates gave me this Sega Genesis game. You play as a robot that can swap out parts like Armored Warriors. Just like that Arcade classic, this also an beat em up. I always remembered the cover picture, I still think it's awesome. The same company made Ecco the Dolphin series. Exclusive to Sega Genesis it's no surprise why not a lot of people played or even heard of this game before. Considering a lot of games sold on here. I do think Cyborg Justice could do fine.
As a kid we never had a lot of money, so when i had gotten enough money to get a new game, for my birthday/christmas (theyre close together) i was ecstatic. maybe 8 or 9 years old?
i was a HUGE Sonic the hedgehog fan at the time, but the only place that had video games for sale, in my smallass town in the late 90s, didnt have any Sonic games.
so i stood there, looking at the meager selection, for upwards a halfhour, stuck between the excitement of a new game, and the dissapointment that they didnt have what i wanted.
so once i had deliberated for close to 30 minutes, my mothers irritation had hit a boiling point, and made me choose.
so i went with the cartridge that had the cool robots.
when i got it home, and popped it in to my Genesis, i found it was really REALLY hard. but looked really cool. cuz robots are cool. and the story seemed to have some interesting deep, lore. but also it was REALLY REALLY hard.
so i would play it until i died. then restart. until i got angry and drop it. then come back, and restart. until i died. over and over for years.
and as i got older i got farther. and farther.
until i beat it. when i was like 15. and it was satisfying. losing pieces of your premade robot body, and stealing others. jumping over rockets. replacing and mixing and matching.
its brutalist, and hard, and a purely unique experience. i dont think that should be forgotten.
(kinda like the dark souls of side scrolling fighting beat em ups) ;)
