UFO Robot Grendizer: The Feast of the Wolves Critic Reviews

Overall, Grendizer is a solid game with a clear love and passion for its classic super robot source material. It’s also very much meant for fans of Grendizer, otherwise much of its appeal and charm will be lost. It also clearly needed more time for polish and general graphical optimization. That said, it still plays decently with these shortcomings and is worth a look for those that want to pilot an old school super robot.

UFO Robot Grendizer: The Feast of the Wolves is 100% pure nostalgia for all those born and raised in the 1970s and 1980s. Unfortunately, pad in hand, the game is mediocre, between technical problems and a gameplay redundancy.

UFO Robot Grendizer: The Feast of the Wolves should not be purchased if you are looking for a new great game to complete. If you dive into it with this idea, it's very likely that you will be disappointed. This new game from Microids is instead a kind of monument to a great author and one of his most beloved robots, a collectible piece to be placed between the action figure of Mazinger Z and the collection of comic books dedicated to Getter Robot.

A clear love letter to the Grendizer anime, The Feast of the Wolves is still a rather shallow title that may not have you on the edge of your seat, but it will provide a few hours of mindless robot mayhem.

UFO Robot Grendizer: The Feast of the Wolves is a heartfelt tribute to the giant robot genre. It's clearly a lower budget title, and technical issues certainly sour the experience somewhat, but there's good, straightforward fun to be found if you're a fan of classic anime.

UFO Robot Grendizer: The Feast of the Wolves isn’t a bad game – not at all. But it doesn’t do anything that genuinely impresses. It’s a bog-standard action game for the most part, buoyed by some pretty fun shoot ’em sections that add some nice variety. And it’s further hampered by some technical issues that will hopefully be ironed out post-launch. In any case, fans of the show should get some kicks out of it, and newcomers might have some fun unraveling its story in an interactive fashion.

Ufo Robot Grendizer The Feast of Wolves is a game designed by enthusiasts for enthusiasts. And nothing else. In Italy the localization operation gave us a magnificent dubbing: adhering to the original also in the choice of timbre of the voice actors and voice actresses, as well as in the tones, vocabulary and theatricality. If you don't get bored of facing about 5 hours of very basic challenges and combat just to enjoy these moments of profound nostalgia, then feel free to raise your final rating by half a point. Perhaps with Ufo Robot by Microids you could make a younger relative experience, in an interactive format, a story from your past: the legend of the "thousand valve circuits" and the "miracle of electronics" that "sprints and goes in space".

Ufo Robot Goldrake The Feast of Wolves is unfortunately a mediocre game, so much so that I would not recommend it even to the most die-hard fans of the iconic robot, except at a discounted price. Like the original material, it is a product aimed at a young audience, ironically at the antipodes of the old-timers who are supposed to represent the hardcore Actarus fans.

The desire was there, the passion of the developers too, but the Grendizer site was far too important for Microids and the Enroad studio. We do not know the real budget that was injected for the game, but if there is one thing that is certain, it is that the game lacked financial resources. Technically weak, and graphically ugly, this Goldorak unfortunately cannot hide these technological shortcomings under its cartoon D.A. The semi open world is obsolete and not up to par for a 2023 game. It's empty, it's bland, nothing happens, and the game is also riddled with collision bugs. Added to this are also numerous frame-rate problems which spoil the experience a little more, while problems with proportion and scale value ruin the feeling of being at the controls of a giant 33-meter robot made of metal.

UFO ROBOT GRENDIZER : The Feast of the Wolves is an excellent tribute game but as a video game, it doesn't achieve much. While the gameplay is really enjoyable, the challenges quickly become repetitive, and the game suffers from major technical problems such as clipping and occasional framerate drops. A game for nostalgic gamers and hardcore fans of the anime, who will forgive anything the game can't do right.
