Customer Ratings & Reviews

I love this game! You play as a kid in the not-so-far future where miniature robot gladiator fights are a popular toy for all ages and there's some bad guys trying to abuse the abnormally strong robot toys for their own benefit. It's a pretty simple story, but it's told much more effectively than say a Pokemon game. There's some voice acting and animated cutscense throughout the game. In general the voice acting is nice enough except for yells some NPCs make when they lose. While I enjoy the story, the gameplay and customization is what I enjoy the most. There is a lot of customization between 9 types of weapons each with two or three subtypes, parts for your robot (head, each arm, torso, and legs), special attacks, core parts (cpu battery, motor, etc.), and items you can equip for battle. There are 133 robot models each with 5 parts and they come in different colors and three different grades (higher grades have more defense but take more exp to level up). You can even reinforce or lighten your parts later in the game to give yourself more defense or speed. There's about 420 weapons and 89 shields although you'd probably only use the best available one for the subtype you want to use. The gameplay is mostly like an RPG except when it comes to the battles. You fight against 1-3 opponents alone or with two of your teammates. To win you usually just have to make your opponent run out of HP first although some matches are based on which team has three knockdowns first. Before each battle you can customize your robot to be better equipped for the opponent as each type of armor has some weakness and strengths and weapons deal different kinds of damage. Battling is simple with Y (plus an optional direction on the circle pad) for attacks, X for the items menu (you can only bring three kinds of items), A for dashing, B for jumping, L for guarding, and R for the special attacks menu (the controls cannot be changed). To attack and dash, you use up part of a stamina gauge that will quickly replenish if you stop dashing or attacking for a bit. Special attacks require use of another gauge that fills up as you do and take damage. My only complaint with the game is that they maintenance feature is rather useless. If your maintenance gauge runs out by battling too much or by losing an Unlimited regulations match, you just stop earning experience points for your armor. You can easily refill the gauge at any time because grease is given out like candy and you can refill it for free at any parts shop.

Both my boys loved this game and played it non stop until they passed all levels. Worth the higher price since its new based on Cartoon. They can connect.

I can't pass up a decent custom robot RPG. The story is decent and the combat is ok, but it does start to feel repetitive against average CPU opponents.

LBX is an action JRPG where you follow the adventures of Van Yamano and his friends on their quest to save the world. The combat of the game is a real time 3D battle with up to 3v3 battles. You're given a huge amount of customization in that you change the body parts of your LBX to suit your play style and design preferences. There's also 9 different weapon types that handle differently giving you even more play options. The only real downside to the game is that it only supports local multiplayer and not online play.

Overall, a pretty fun game. Not as intensive as most video games.

This is a fantastic Japanese RPG in which you're in control of a small, customizable robot. Following a story which plays out as an anime, you watch the life of the young protagonist unfold while simultaneously learning how to customize and battle with your character's robot. It's a lot of fun, especially when you're able to play against your friends.

As a huge fan of games like Custom Robo and shows like Mobile Suit Gundam, this game is right at home in my collection. The story isn't half bad but with a game like this, all the fun lies in customization of your mech and taking it into battle (as well as collecting new parts!). There is not a single thing this game does wrong in my opinion!

This game is great, the closest to how a Gundam game should have felt. Controls can be a bit clunky at times, but it feels natural, and the fighting system and customization has a lot of depth for what seems to be a kids game. It is so much more than that. Only downside is no online play.

Do you remember Medabots? That show with kids and their small robot companions they forced to fight other robots with? Yeah, this is a lot like that. There are cool customization features and a fun battle system. Just wish it offered more in terms of multiplayer. :/

If you ever played Custom Robo on the GameCube, then you kind of have an idea of what you're getting into with this game. While the weapons aren't as imaginative in this, the playstyle feels similar and the story is engaging.

- Likeable characters - Decent combat system - Mecha style Rpg The game has alot of interesting mechanics to build your robot and how it affects its performance / gameplay. Pick this up if you want to try diff flavor of RPG.

While I haven't spent much time with the game, LBX is an excellent addition to the Level 5 catalog and fans of mech battles, heavy customization, and even Pokemon will find this one really enjoyable.

Nothing about this game is amazing but nothing is really poor. You have a tiny mech, you outfit it, you do battles with it. The customization is fun and engaging, the story is typical but enjoyable.

Purchased 2 of these for my 8 and 11 year old sons. They love watching the LBX Series, and now have played this game for hours. Really love the battles and upgrades. Just like the show! Great game for the 3DS XL

Level 5 has a formula they stick to, but for good reason; it works extremely well. This game doesn't stray far from their usual, but as always they've made a game that appeals to all demographics.

Not knowing previously what LBX was, I searched for a "Mech" style video game to play and found this. I waited for the release and gave it a try. I was captivated for a couple of days but found quite a bit of simplicity, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. It's easy to pick up, and put down. Some of the battles are difficult, which provides for a challenging experience. The overall customization seems great so far and I imagine there's quite a bit more to go (I'm not finished with the game yet). All-in-all, the game is fun and engaging but don't expect addictive gameplay.

My son loves everything LBX. He has the models, books and now the game. He can't stop playing it and says it's his favorite game.

This game lets you customize your own robots and you can play with friends! I bought this game for my boyfriend and I'm going to buy it for myself.

My son is always looking for new games to play. He read the back of the game and asked for it. Told me he thought it was a good game.

Bought for my son for him to add to his collection, he enjoys playing it.
