Play Medabots : Rokusho Version Online

Medabots: Rokusho Version came out for the Game Boy Advance in 2003, developed by Natsume and published by Imagineer. It was part of a small wave of robot battling games on the system, sitting alongside titles like Custom Robo, but with its own distinct charm and a focus on collecting and upgrading individual parts. The game doesn't try to be a graphical powerhouse; it works within the GBA's capabilities to deliver a solid, portable adventure.

You play as a kid who gets a Medabot named Rokusho, a beetle-type robot with a serious, samurai-like personality. The main goal is to become the champion of the World Robattle Tournament by battling other Medafighters. The core of the game is customizing your Medabot with parts you win or buy, each part dictating its attacks, defense, and special abilities. Combat is turn-based; you input commands for a three move sequence, then watch the bots execute them, trying to out-predict your opponent. The pacing is methodical, more about strategy than reflexes, and the difficulty comes from building a balanced Medabot and learning opponent patterns. It feels like solving a small, satisfying puzzle with every fight.
