Wily and Light no Rockboard: That's Paradise

Platform Played On: NES



ABOUT


Rockboard is a Mega Man spin off based on Monopoly. You play as a few characters, Light, Wily, Cossack, His daugher and Roll as you go around collecting properties, building on each other's plots and the first one to go bankrupt ends the game.


STORY


There's really not much of an Story other than that all of the professors and their daughters get together to play a board game. Each character kinda has their own motive like Dr. Light being more about Building a Robot lab or Dr. Cossack building a research lab, or even Roll making hospitals around the board.


GAMEPLAY


The gameplay is based on the game "Monopoly" but this time you can actually build your own base on other people's properties and even take over them if you have enough money. This game features Cards that can help you to victory, places that acts as random events, a place that can transform you into a robot master that has a specific ability until you aren't transformed, etc. There's various different maps to choose from and they all have their own gimmick to them. If you're playing this in English the translation might not be the best so you don't know what everything does exactly as it can be obscure. Overall, it's what to expect from a board game, there's also multiplayer available too.


MUSIC


The music is fine for what it is, It's some catchy tunes but with how long a session goes for, it can be a bit annoying at the time.


FINAL THOUGHTS


Mega Man Monopoly is okay and interesting idea, I do think that if it ended up being more like traditional but with it's own quirks it might be more competitive but in the end, It's really just first one loses ends the game and there's a comparison of value and whoever has the most value wins. It's okayish but prefer playing the real monopoly.


SCORE 7/10
