Bullet Heaven Role-Playing Game: Medabots Survivor Launches

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 robot role-playing series, has launched in Japan for iOS and Android devices on February 10th. For those unfamiliar, Medabots enjoyed a surge in popularity following Pokémon's success, though it never achieved the same global reach as other franchises like Digimon.

While Medabots may not be a household name in the West, it maintains significant popularity in Japan. The choice of the "Survivors" genre, popularized by games like Vampire Survivors, is a smart move, leveraging current trends. However, the game's current Japan-only release is a disappointment for international fans.

A Growing Genre

The "Survivors" genre's popularity is rapidly expanding globally. Medabot Survivors' release highlights this trend, and its success in Japan could potentially lead to a wider release in the future. Many excellent Japanese games unfortunately remain unavailable internationally, but the hope is that Medabot Survivors' potential popularity will change that.
