Have you ever played a game that was so frustrating that you seriously thought about throwing your system out the window? I thought about doing that exact thing while playing Super Robo Mouse for the Wii U eshop! Read on to find out why.
In Super Robo Mouse, you play as a mouse who is stuck in a maze and must find several pieces of cheese. A brief story set can be read and then you’re put into the game. This is a very ho-hum and uninteresting way to set up the game. Things don’t get much better from there. Its very easy to get lost or turned around in the mazes. The mazes are more frustrating than challenging. The real challenge comes from the dangers in the mazes, such as the buzz saws. Of course, no game is interesting without a little challenge and you might think its a good thing that there are obstacles in the mazes. But Super Robo Mouse goes beyond just challenging…
If you get hit one time by any of the obstacles in Super Robo Mouse, you die and get sent back to the beginning of the maze. Worse yet, you lose all of your cheese. I lost count of the number of times I died in this game and had to collect those cheese again. A checkpoint after getting all the cheese, at least, would have been nice. The only thing I’m thankful for here is that the game doesn’t have a timer! I guess we did dodge that bullet. I’m sure there will be some people who are better at this game than I was and will enjoy it a little more.
I wasn’t very good at this game at all. For me, having to repeat the mazes over and over and over again got boring and repetitive. I have never liked one-hit and you die games. They seem very unfair. What’s wrong with having a health bar or a heart counter? The game would still be challenging, but a little more fair in my opinion. As it is, Super Robo Mouse is way too hard. I know I won’t be the only one who throws their hands up at this game. That said, Super Robo Mouse’s controls do work fine.
Super Robo Mouse is not a good game. It is better than RCMADIAX’s previous games, but overall, I wish the developer would go back to doing puzzle games. I felt like the developer did a good job with them. On the other hand, games like Super Robo Mouse feel like he’s trying to create something that’s out of his wheelhouse. Super Robo Mouse could look better and be more user friendly than it is.
I’m sure there will be some people who like this game though. I know that there are people who are really good at hard games. So perhaps they’d rate this game better than me. Though, even if we put the difficulty aside, Super Robo Mouse is still a boring looking game, with an annoying soundtrack and subpar Wii U gamepad use. RCMADIAX can do better than this game. I know he can.
