Medabots Invades Bullet Heaven Genre

Medabot Survivors: Bullet-Hell Action for Medabots Fans, But Only in Japan (For Now)

Medabot Survivors, a new bullet-hell action game based on the popular Japanese robot RPG series, is launching February 10th. However, this exciting release is currently exclusive to Japan on iOS and Android.

For those unfamiliar, Medabots gained popularity in the West following Pokémon's success, though it never achieved the same level of fame as other imported franchises like Digimon. However, in Japan, Medabots remains a significant and beloved property. The choice of the popular "Survivors-like" genre for this mobile adaptation is a smart move, capitalizing on current trends.

A Survivor's Success?

While the "Survivors-like" genre is associated with Vampire Survivors, its roots extend further back. Medabot Survivors' release is noteworthy, showcasing the genre's global expansion. Many excellent Japanese games unfortunately remain unavailable internationally. The success of Medabot Survivors could potentially change that, offering a chance for a wider release in the future.
