What's the deal with this game? I grabbed it at launch because I thought it looked like a Custom Robo game...

Shocked it doesn't. Even custom Robo Arena did

As both a medabots fan and a custom robo fan, LBX was an absolute fucking garbage game and I would be hard pressed to recommend it to literally anyone over any other game with robots.
I did not like it at fucking all.
Voice acting was bad
Story was lame
Too much focus on the humans
Perfect accuracy enemies
A fucking stamina bar while enemies seem to be able to infinitely dash and shoot
And thats just off the top of my head

But in other news, custom robo's director is creating a spiritual successor to the game titled synaptic drive:

Heres a prealpha footage from nearly 10 months ago now:

And their publisher is thousandgames, but through my limited english only search, thousandgames has only really made mobile games so dont get your hopes too too high

I hope it doesnt turn out to be kusoge

Stop playing this once I got to the dick with the 2 robots at the same time unskipable cutscences in boss fights can fuck off

LBX was fine, and the story was just a Saturday morning cartoon like Custom Robo Arena. The biggest problem with the gameplay were the huge amounts of invincibility frames after getting knocked down.

Thanks man that's really dope

To me every fight felt like button mashing and there was absolutely no real strategy involved other than "dont run out in the open because youll get sniped every time, and dont approach because youll be caught without stamina and your allies wont be around to help"

In every robo thread I see I post about synaptic drive
And there are rarely people who have anything to say other than "never heard of that before"
Genuinely surprised that custom robo fans wouldnt have heard of it

GOOOOOO ACHILLES!!

Try the knuckle weapons, you could actually perform really cool combos with them and juggle for ages.

Use lance weapons. Do attack attack attack and then at the height of the launch do forward attack you get one more hit in.

Do this combo for the rest of the game.

played it maybe 5 years ago and remembered enjoying it. the gameplay was solid enough. haven't played custom robo though so maybe that's better
