Play Medarot 2 Core - Kuwagata Version (J)(Mugs) Online

Medarot 2 Core - Kuwagata Version came out for the Game Boy Advance in 2001, developed by Natsume and published by Imagineer. It was part of that early GBA wave where developers were still figuring out how to translate deeper RPG mechanics onto a handheld, and this one stood out for its focus on customization and tactical combat. The game is one half of a pair (alongside Kabuto Version), each offering unique Medarots and parts to collect.

You control a young Medarot collector who assembles, upgrades, and commands a team of customizable robots in turn-based battles on a grid. Your main goal is to progress through the story, defeat rival Medarotcers, and gather rare parts by winning fights and exploring areas screen by screen. Signature mechanics include swapping components like legs, arms, and weapons between encounters to adapt to different opponents, and directing your Medarots on a tactical grid where positioning affects attack accuracy and evasion. The pacing is methodical, with a moderate difficulty that asks you to think ahead in battles rather than just overpower enemies. It feels satisfying to finally piece together a loadout that clicks and watch it perform smoothly in combat.
