Blokus Portable: Steambot Championship
A match made in PSP heaven
Dec 17, 2007
We’ve learned a valuable lesson from Blokus Portable: Steambot Championship; award-winning board game plus anime-style action-adventure game equals pretty damn decent portable game. With the promise of competitive online play (in 2-player ad hoc matches), this little hybrid may have a lot more to offer than your average puzzle game married to a platformer - if you dig puzzle games, that is.
Chances are you haven’t heard of Blokus (unless you belong to Mensa), but you might have heard ofSteambot Chronicles- Atlus’s sandbox adventure game for the PS2. There’s not much action or adventure going on inthis PSP spin-off; but for fans of the series, it’ll be nice to see so many familiar faces throughout the game.
