Steambot Chronicles is worthy of any JRPG's collection and it's a game that is worth tracking down.

#STEAMBOT CHRONICLES FAQ PS2#

It may not be as good as Final Fantasy X or Persona 4, but this is a JRPG that I believe every JRPG fan with a PS2 should check out. I still find myself playing the game once a year just to experience the game again and honestly, it never gets old. This game does have a few flaws (mainly with the controls and the sound), but there is a certain charm to Steambot Chronicles you won't find anywhere else. I would say that you could ignore the songs that the Garland Globetrotters perform, but they are required to be played and listen to multiple times throughout the story, so I would suggest having an iPod or something close by. The Garland Globetrotters' songs would be really good if they were only instrumentals, but Irem decided to include Connie singing in most of the songs and her English voice actor isn't the prettiest singer (there is a secret song that you unlock from doing a side mission that has to be the WORST song I've heard in a game). The in-game soundtrack is really good, it provides for really nice and calm music, but at the same time, the songs that you perform with your band, the Garland Globetrotters, are horrible. Now, the sound is something I'm really mixed about. You wake up on a beach and guess what?!?!? YOU HAVE NO MEMORY OF YOURSELF AND HOW YOU GOT THERE! Well anyways, there's a girl at the beach named Connie and you guys find a trotmobile (the steampunk machines you control in the game) and your adventure begins! The story does follow a linear path, but you are presented with numerous choices throughout the game that change up the story, which provides players with multiple playthroughs. I'm going to say it right now, if you have watched any sort of anime in the past two decades or played any if you have ever played a JRPG before, you already should know what this story is about. The controls for the trotmobile are very clunky and tank-ish and it may take someone a while to get used to the controls, but once you figure out everything, you will get used to it, though you'll still wish that Irem would had taken the time to actually playtest the controls a little bit more. The trotmobile parts are what take up the majority of the game, as you are always in your trotmobile performing various tasks. The major point of controlling Vanilla is playing with your band, Garland Globetrotters, which performs some pretty decent songs and some horrible ones (we will talk about the songs in the sound section). The parts where you control Vanilla directly aren't too complicated, you get most of the missions from these segments and you're able to walk into shops, talk to various people walking on the streets, and play instruments. The gameplay consists of two different parts you either control Vanilla (the protagonist) directly or you control Vanilla through a trotmobile (for those who don't know what a trotmobile is, it's a steampunk mecha thingy). The game does lag sometimes, as the graphics are pretty demanding for the PS2, but the game does still hold up visually. The game is presented in a cel-shaded manner, as the game is supposed to look like a living anime (which it does succeed in).

The graphics in Steambot Chronicles are actually not too shabby for a PS2 game. The game may not be perfect, but in my opinion, it's one of its kind.
