[Review] Megabyte Punch (NS)
Cyberspace Emissary.
Ten years before Bomb Rush Cyberfunk, Team Reptile (basically just two Dutch guys) had just made the browser version of Lethal League, and then Megabyte Punch was their next thing. The Switch version released seven years later with some slight additions, which is what I played.
Essentially, it's the platform-fighter mechanics of a Super Smash Bros. with on-the-fly customisation of your moveset thanks to swappable robot parts. It's got a straightforward battle match mode, but what I spent my time with was the adventure mode, a beat-em-up story in six stages that feels a bit like Subspace Emissary in Brawl. Brawl is my favourite instalment in its series and SSE is a big reason why, so I was pleased to see another game take a crack at the concept.
The story is pretty straightforward: the evil robot empire is muscling in on your peaceful robot village, there's some interludes of robot intrigue and robot zombies, and you eventually fight the robot emperor. The presentation helps it stand out though, the brightly coloured low-poly cyberworlds giving some novelty to proceedings, along with the team's trademark preoccupation with palette swaps.
As you fight through the robozones you will pick up new parts and bits (64 for an extra life in that stage, and can be cashed in at the hub village shop for rare parts). If you see a bot using a cool move, you might be able to snag it and start using it right away, or else give yourself more jumps, better defence, etc. In theory the parts can clue you in on an enemy's moves since (almost) all robots share a modular design, but they can be hard to read at a distance, cool though their individual designs may be. The experimentation with your loadout is nice, but parts do duplicate functionality and nothing is a strict upgrade so you really have to get creative/cheesy when the late-game difficulty spike arrives.
I enjoyed the parts that spawned in helper bots to temporarily fight by your side, but I might have also enjoyed co-op: you can play through the campaign with up to four simultaneous players. This would likely have helped with that tough final boss, although I imagine the splitscreen views get super cramped. The levels are huge with goodies hidden around to reward exploration, platforming, and even digging through the terrain with certain weapons: well suited to splitting up to range around, but I still had fun with them solo.
As with Brawlout which I played recently, Megabyte Punch has something of a stripped-back moveset compared to its inspiration. There's no smash attacks, no dodges, no grabs, and I kept finding myself reaching for these things out of muscle memory. The basic attacks seem to lack in impact and reach, and I had trouble avoiding damage and establishing proper spacing. I wished for a little more variety in the special moves granted by parts as well; the promise of a huge diversity of attacks wasn't quite fulfilled to me.
Still, the concept and presentation were cool enough to carry me through even if it's not quite a Subspace Emissary killer. It was enough for me that it plays around in that space and does its own thing to some extent. So if, like me, you were looking for more of that platform-fighter-adventure goodness with a bit of style, Megabyte Punch scratches that itch.
