Editorial Review BioMotor Unitron is marketed as a fantasy role-playing game, but the real fun is in modifying this game's Unitron, a fighting robot that can be customized in nearly every way.
The adventure begins as you prepare your Unitron for battle in a centralized city. You'll meet several local characters that can help you in your quest, which will take you to four randomly created dungeons that lie on the outskirts of town. Each dungeon has an elemental theme that must be taken into consideration before wandering in. As you fight your way through the dungeons using turn-based combat, you'll discover new items and equipment that can be used to upgrade your Unitron when you return to the city.
We had a lot of fun equipping our Unitron with our discoveries. The game lets you fuse various uncovered materials together, but the quality of the results depends on what you use and how you put it together. Other options such as new legs, power packs, and body types mean that there's always something to tweak as you progress toward your ultimate goal of becoming an arena champion and defeating a seemingly all-powerful beast that lurks beneath the city. --T.
