Twin Robots is a 2.5D Action puzzle platformer developed by Thinice Games and Published by Ratalaika Games
Twin Robots Ultimate Edition is a port of the Ouya and Wii U version of the game from 2013. The two little defective guys were first released on the Ouya,a console which went nowhere, and then released once more again on the Nintendo Wii U,a console which also went nowhere. But now with a release on the Switch has a chance to finally shine.
In Twin Robots you play as the two buddies,Watt and Volt,two friends who are deemed defective by their makers(whoever that might be) and their goal is to find a way to escape from their current situation they find themselves in and live to see another day. Explaining the tiny story in this manner makes the game seem more like a survival horror game than an actual puzzle platformer,which makes me root for them even more since they're so small and cute!
In Twin Robots you must take control of both Watt and Volt and put them through a series of challenges. The challenges in the game start off rather simple,but then get a little more tricky,but never to the point where you could consider the game ''hard''. The hardest thing you will have to do is manage an electricity meter,which ill explain.
Both Watt and Volt run off their own electricity meter. The meter works as basically the characters health meter and it determines how long both Watt and Volt have to live. The more you run and jump and platform around,the faster your electricity meter runs out. Should your meter run out before achieving your goal, its game over,you lose and you just killed the poor robot, shame on you!
You start off each stage as either Watt or Volt and make your way from left to right of the screen hopping over holes,avoiding spikes or going down holes and finding elevators to lift you up to the next area,pretty standard stuff. Every step you take and every jump you make(I'll be watching you) drains your electricity meter as stated earlier,this is why you must work as quickly as possible to get to the end of the level,where you have to press a red button switch.
When you activate the end level red button, it unlocks the door that was previously blocking the other robot character(watt or volt) to get their turn at the level. Playing as the second character is a little different this go around as the color of the level changes to a darker tone aesthetic wise. In this mode you will be able to follow in the footsteps of your other robot friend and pick up his ''electricity steps''.
Each time you step on an electrical footprint left behind by the previous player,it refills your electricity meter. This is extremely helpful if you ended the previous level as the second character because your health/electricity meter carries over from the previous level you played. This simple thing can determine if you will fail a level the majority of time and it's good to always pay attention and strategize which character to use at the end of each level. Example of this if you ended the previous level with 50% health with Volt, the it's best to start the next level as Watt instead in order to save energy.
Everything named above is basically the rinse and repeat of the entire game. Each level becoming more difficult with moving objects,spikes,platforming and jumping becoming tighter and having less room for error. As long as you manage your electricity meter with both characters, then I can not see many player's having a huge difficulty with the game.
As far as the game's overall length goes, it should take you no more than 2-3hrs to beat if you choose to sit and play in one whole sitting. Each level should run you close to 1-3 minutes,even if you end up failing multiple times. There are a total of 40 levels to play through,which was extended from 28 from the previous release on Ouya and Wii U. Giving this version much more variety and bang for your dollar.
Twin Robots Ultimate Edition is indeed what it say it is. It takes what was good in the previous release on Ouya and Wii U and expands on it with its music soundtrack and level variety. While the game isn't exactly on the challenging side and can be considered rather easy by today's standards for the average gamer,if you're looking for a good time with some pick up and play platforming puzzle solving action,then I say give this a look. It's definitely worth it.
(...give me Watt and Volt amiib plz)
