About Bot Gaiden

Not for the faint of heart, Bot Gaiden is all ACTION, EXECUTION, AND SPEED. Ninja robots Robyu and Bytron race to recover the power skulls that have been stolen by each of Giorqio's 6 Hench-bots. Slicing everything in their path, they must reach their destination quickly. The Hench-bots grow stronger with time and exposure to the skulls.
The faster you go, the easier the fight. However, going faster means putting yourself in harm's way. You'll break out in a cold sweat trying to figure out the most efficient path through each stage.

Designed to be shared, no matter what the skill mismatch might be. Got a child that's just learning? Team up. Got a buddy that just sucks at action games? Bring 'em on! You can teleport to your partner at any time: lagging players can instantly catch up, and experienced players can lend a helping hand, instantly. Speaking of catching up, the trailing player is automatically equipped with additional recovery speed. No more bad old days. No fighting over skill gears either: when one player picks one up, both are equipped! Become a tag team terror with BotSwat, which sends your partner flying across the screen in an invincible fireball!
Momentum is key. Keeping skill gears leads to speed boosts (you lose skill gears when you take damage). Fast finishes enable upgrades. Upgrades enable faster finishes. Bronze and Silver rewards give you the edge to break through the Gold clear time and earn things like Triple Jump, Super Drill, Glider Bombs, and more! Plot your chain of attack accordingly.

✦ AI summary

Players praise Bot Gaiden's fast-paced, addictive gameplay and solid platformer mechanics, with standout features including tight controls, colorful stages, great soundtrack, and a speedrun-focused design that rewards quick completion. The main criticism is that the game has received insufficient attention and marketing despite its quality, with some noting it went under the radar and deserves more recognition for what it offers to fans of challenging action platformers.

Bot Gaiden is a 2D Action Hack 'n Slash Platformer about 2 Ninjabots Robyu and Bytron. You take on each stage racing against time and fight a boss at the end of each stage, so basically you gotta rush through the stage as quick then bosses HP is shorter and you can kill them quicker. This game is pretty short and fun if you like fast paced rush games, It went under the radar for some reason and never got the love it deserves. Colorful stages with different enemies that will try to overwhelm you from all sides. you get abilities also during your run which varies from ranged attacks, to double jump to dash attack. The boss fights were fun and be dangerous if you're not careful with your quick decisions. The music and soundtracks were nice as well, brings back the great gaming days. If you're reading this and you love fast paced 2D action platformers, then this is a good recommendation. It's truly a hidden gem. Overall Rating 10/10

Wonderfully difficult platform-action game. I was given this game for Christmas and I just finished a stream of it earlier this evening. Wonderful graphics, great soundtrack, full of some wonderful guitar work. The game play and controls are very well done. So, imagine if Ninja Gaiden and Megaman had an affair and you'll get Bot Gaiden. The faster you complete a level, the higher the reward. The game was designed for the discipline of speed running. It's about knowing the beats, it has a certain rhythm and if you're looking for a challenge, I'm sure you'll enjoy this
