What's it about?
TENKAI KNIGHTS: BRAVE BATTLE is set in a fantastical world filled with large robots that fight wars against each other instead of traditional human soldiers. The game centers on four young, ambitious, robot-piloting characters who accidentally fall into a magical portal, sending them to another dimension, where they find themselves needing to protect both dimensions from an onslaught of evil robots.
Is it any good?
Tenkai Knights: Brave Battle has some charm, with its simple presentation, controls, and graphics. It's easy to pick up and play, with only three types of attack: weak, strong, and special. Players don't need to worry about crazy combination attacks, defense strategies, counterattacks, or any advanced elements. And you can customize your robots with armor and weapons, using pieces you collect, which provides some incentive to keep playing through the onslaught of enemies.
But you'll find that the game quickly becomes monotonous. Environments may have different colors and other flourishes, but they feel like copies of one another, with very little variety in terms of layout and structure. Also, there's not much that separates the enemies, making each battle feel like the same thing. The result is a game novices can enjoy but likely will become bored with.
Talk to your kids about ...
Families can talk about the violence in Tenkai Knights: Brave Battle. Weapons are cartoon-like, and there's no blood or gore or cries of pain. Is the violence OK because it isn't realistic?
