PS2 Underrated Gem: Steambot Chronicles -No Commentary-

This is a series of gameplay vids I'm doing highlighting overlooked games for the PS2.

Steambot Chronicles is one of those games that's hard to describe. It's an adventure game with sandbox style gameplay, mech combat, an RPG feel, and even a little music game thrown in for good measure.

It's story, and feel remind me of an RPG, but the game plays like an adventure game. Plus there are cities that you are free to explore, and many side quests that you can do too.

Though it doesn't play the same, it's style reminds me a lot of Mega Man Legends. I'm getting the same vibes from this game. They don't play the same, but they both have an RPG/action adventure mixture that reminds me of each other.

I've had this game for almost a year, but I didn't start playing it till yesterday, and I'm hooked.

It's not perfect. There are some small gripes I have with the game. The controls while in your Trotmobile will take some getting used to, and your trotmobile navigates through the city on auto pilot, so it can take a very long time to get where you need to go. The cities also aren't one seamless world. They are broken up by short, but noticeable load times while walking to different parts of them.

So far, those are my only two really big complaints. There's a lot of cool stuff to do in this game, and many different ways to earn money with which you can buy upgrades for your Trotmobile, and a number of other items like clothes, food (you have to feed your main character on a regular basis or else he'll start moving sluggishly), or a variety of other items.

It's a really neat, and charming game, and I would recommend it to anyone. If you're into these types of games, you'll be hooked.

Steambot Chronicles is only available on the PS2.
