Custom Robo

Background

Custom Robo is set in the not-so-distant future, where mankind solves conflicts by battling customized robots on virtual battlefields known as holosseums. In the arcade and versus modes, players will choose robots, check out information on opponents and holosseums, then customize their robots to maximize their chances of winning.

In the single-player mode, players take on the role of a young man trying to honor the wish of his deceased father by becoming a robo commander. He joins a down-and-out bounty hunter firm and, surrounded by a crew of misfits, sets off on an adventure that not only tests his resolve but teaches him the value off friendship and family
