    The only elements Steambot Chronicles: Battle Tournament shares with its antecessor are the title and the presence of Trotmobiles. Effortless/repetitive quests, limited exploration, poor storytelling (75% of the laughably predictable plot unfolds at the very end of the game), lack of alternative routes among other things make no justice to the shadow of the original PS2 game.

I took 32 hours to finish Steambot Chronicles, while this lackluster spin-off provided with enough content for only 6 hours.

    If you loved the first Steambot Chronicles or if you're in the mood for a GTA-light/Armored Core-light game that's aimed at a younger audience then I would suggest that you should pick this title and pray that Atlus will release the PS3 sequel.

    Battle Tournament may lack some of the charm that made the old game so loved, but it’s a decent action adventure in its own right.

    If it weren't for the painful amount of repetition and the grindy nature of everything, Steambot Chronicles: Battle Tournament probably would have been a lot more fun. The more I played, though, the less I liked it, and by the end I just wanted it all to be over.
