Full Walkthrough

Here’s the full walkthrough for the game. Story spoilers follow, so be warned.

Track 1: A Fresh Start

The story begins with Chai gaining his robot arm. This is a tutorial that familiarizes the player with various mechanics and combos. It culminates in a boss fight with QA-1MIL and Chai meeting Peppermint.

Track 2: Power Up

Peppermint needs more information on SPECTRA, so Chai ventures back into Production to sneak into Rekka’s office. It ends in a fight with Rekka and Peppermint learning more about SPECTRA and its inability to interface with users.

Track 3: Trial By (Volcanic) Fire

The next destination is the R&D branch, located below the island and powered with magma. After heaps of platforming and avoiding raining lava, Chai runs into Zanzo, the head of the department.

Track 4: Less Budget, More Problems

Chai gets punched through multiple floors of R&D. To disable the Z-Shielding on Zanzo’s robots and various doors, Chai enlists the help of Macaron, a former Vandelay employee. Eventually, the duo must battle against Zanzo (more accurately, drain his budget). Peppermint discovers that SPECTRA will be used for mind control.

Track 5: Breaking Out!

Captured by Korsica, Vandelay’s head of security, Chai has to break out. It leads to a battle in an elevator as the group battles a flying mini-boss.

Track 6: L.I.F.T Me Up

A relatively short chapter where Chai battles enemies on a tram en route to confronting Korsica.

Track 7: The Climb

Arriving in Security Wing 2, Chai battles his way through Korsica’s security. Eventually, he goes one-on-one with Korsica, which is more of a parry battle. Eventually, the player leaves and must deal with Kale’s CH-ASIR bot on a tram.

Track 8: A History Lesson

With Korsica joining the group, the next target is Mimosa, head of marketing at Vandelay. She’s prepping the Project Armstrong Festival, and thus Chai takes a shortcut through the Vandelay Museum. Along with learning more about Peppermint

Track 9: Take the Stage

Another short chapter focused on the fight against Mimosa. Chai dons a shark costume for tactical sneaking before eventually battling against her.

Track 10: A Masterplan

Chai devises an admittedly ludicrous plan to get shot into Roquefort’s office using a cannon. The plan goes awry as he lands in the cafeteria and must fight through several enemies. Chai eventually fights against Roquefort, who transforms into a giant wolf mech.

Track 11: The Needle Drop

The group goes up against Kale, revealed to be controlling Roxanne, the former president of Vandelay. After escaping, Chai battles Zanzo’s now-complete robot.

Track 12: Curate the Future

Chai finally battles Kale in the epic finale, shutting down SPECTRA, freeing Roxanne and leading to a happy ending.
