LBX: Little Battlers eXperience

LBX: Little Battlers eXperience is a game developed by Level5 and published by Nintendo on August 21, 2015.

Why It Rocks

 * 1) There is a wide variety of parts and weapons to customize your LBX with.
 * 2) There are several unique special moves your LBX can perform in battle, called Special Attack Routines.
 * 3) LBX can hold 2 weapons at once, and you can switch between them in battle. Additionally, dual wielding is possible with certain one handed weapons(like guns). You can hold a shield if you dont have another weapon to dual wield with.
 * 4) The final boss has 3 phases, which is an interesting diversion from the 2 phases some final bosses have in other games.
 * 5) You can customize the parts inside your LBX as well, which can give your LBX things like: increased damage with a certain type of weapon, the ability to use more Special Attack Routines in battle, and stat boosts.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) Unlike some other “collection” games, you can’t name your character or choose to play as a girl.
 * 2) Some of the voice clips(notably during battles) can get annoying to hear.
 * 3) Attacking and dashing pull from the same energy gage.
 * 4) Certain cutscenes can’t be skipped, even if you have already seen them before. This can be annoying if you have to retry a battle that has cutscenes in the middle.
 * 5) You have to level up your skill with a type of weapon before you can use a Special Attack Routine with it
