Medarot: Perfect Edition - Kuwagata Version

About

Medarot: Perfect Edition - Kuwagata Version is a turn-based strategy RPG where you build and battle with insect-inspired mechs. Each beetle has stats and abilities you tweak through upgrades and parts swaps. Matches unfold in grid-based arenas with simple but deep combat mechanics. The story follows a boy and his beetle as they compete in tournaments, unlocking new characters and challenges. The game stands out for its mechanical customization and accessible strategy. It received a 78/100 on Japanese review sites in 1999. While short for an RPG, the Kuwagata Version streamlines the original with tighter pacing and updated visuals. The WonderSwan portability made it a niche hit for on-the-go battles. Some players note the repetitive soundtrack but praise the intuitive controls. A straightforward pick for fans of tactical turn-based games with a bit of insect flair.
