Introduction

Get ready to transform your way into a world of pretty lights and loud noises! 'Kamen Rider Agito' is more than just a game; it's a love letter to the fans of the extravagant Kamen Rider series. As the good folks at KAZe and Bandai took the plunge into the console world, they stitched together a brawler where you'll be exchanging punches and kicks with Unknown beings while desperately searching for snacks in between battles. The game serves as a sequel to the TV series, so grab your controller because this is going to be a ride, or rather, a transformation!

Gameplay

Imagine this: you're controlling Shouichi Tsugami, aka Kamen Rider Agito. You can kick, punch, and strike your foes like a pro! Each of the three main Riders (Agito, G3, and Gills) comes equipped with unique moves. A welcome addition to gaming is the style mechanic, allowing players to switch forms mid-battle like they are auditioning for a superhero movie. The game features several modes, including story, versus, and survival - so whether you want to beat your friend senseless or bask in the glory of defeating waves of monsters, you'll find your preferred gameplay style here. But let's face it, this is mainly a button-mashing affair where strategy equals 'smash all the buttons and hope for the best!'

Graphics

Released in the early 2000s, it's safe to say that the graphics are nostalgic. The characters look decent but may elicit mixed feelings resembling the original TV series' charm. The visuals haven't aged quite like fine wine but more like yesterday's milk. Yet, we can't help but appreciate the effort in recreating Kamen Rider's signature aesthetics. The flashy special moves are particularly fun to watch, particularly when they depict the transformation sequences; they do feel like viewing a cutscene from the show - with less budget and slightly sloppier CGI.

Conclusion

Overall, 'Kamen Rider Agito' is a solid fighting game during its time, with enough charm and fan service to keep die-hard fans engaged. It embraces the brawler style effectively, even if the plot feels like it was scribbled down in a hurry between fights. Prepare yourself for some chaotic moments as you punch, kick, and transform your way to victory. While it's not the best game out there, it will certainly scratch that Kamen Rider itch for fans. Newcomers might want to dive into the series' history first; otherwise, they might be quite confused when a giant insect monster appears out of nowhere. Grab your snacks, throw on some spandex, and enjoy the ride!
