Stage completion time affects both boss health and rewards! Every 15 seconds, the Golden Skull will fill up a battery. If you haven't reached the Henchbot (boss) yet, it will be added to his health. After you defeat him, any remaining energy is converted to batteries you can spend on upgrades (which help you go faster)!

This hand-drawn and generally fast-moving arcade action platformer has its ups and downs There’s no question that Bot Gaiden has a pretty unique overall look and feel that can be exciting, but there can definitely be a bit of a learning curve to its quirks.

A hearty thumbs up from us on this one. Disclosure: Some links in this article may be affiliate links, which means we may earn a small commission if you make a purchase after clicking on them.
