Hey posting again because I finally played Robot Alchemic Drive and I'd like to amend what I said about it below:
Robot Alchemic Drive is now a serious, sincere recommendation. I thought the game was just too silly when I only ever saw it under "games with wacky controls" and "games with hilariously bad voice acting"
You need to understand: the manual controls don't just make you feel like you're controlling a super robot, the manual controls make you feel like a stunt actor in a Megazord costume. Every step must be deliberate and planned, unless you stand on rooftops you won't have a clear view of what you're doing and even then depth perception betrays you. The physics of how the giant robots react to impacts and movement is intuitive, the fact that the game seems to have been discarded by Sandlot and Enix is tragic.
