About Tokobot

The first PSP system game to be developed by Tecmo promises to bring hours of fun portable game play while capturing your imagination as players take on the role of the young hero “Bolt”, a quick thinking agent who has discovered some friendly, highly advanced robots called “Tokobots” during his explorations of ancient ruins.  With the help of the loyal Tokobots, Bolt will reveal mysteries and save the world from a horrible plot, as the Tokobots faithfully follow him on his journey, helping him to avoid obstacles, traps and enemies, by working together to create “team combos”.  During these actions, the Tokobots team up to take on different combinations in order to simulate everything from a ladder that Bolt climbs to wings that allow him to fly over large obstacles.  The player will have to use strategy and skill to create these team combos in order to complete each level and succeed in the game. 

Tokobot’s unique concept, fun style, and addictive team combo game play will have gamers playing the portable game for hours on end to try to come up with new ways to combine the Tokobots in order to complete each action-packed level. As the game continues and the challenges increase, the player must strategically utilize Bolt and the Tokobots in new and innovative combinations in order to create the ultimate combo called the “Karakuri Combination”, which will morph the little Tokobots into one large robot. Only then will the player be able to overcome the most difficult obstacles, unlock different areas and beat the biggest bosses in the game.

After clearing the whole game, “Challenge Mode” will be unlocked where players will be able to show off their Tokobot prowess in this time attack mode.  Other secret unlockables will become available once this mode has been cleared.  The Challenge Mode and hidden unlockables will keep the player challenged and having fun for hours after they have completed the game giving Tokobot instant replay value.
