Studio Good-Feel's Bakeru stars the adorable, lazy tanuki. It's a game that wears its cultural roots proudly. Especially when it comes to folktales. But it's the cultural tidbits that are the most important part of the gameplay in Ganbaru's spiritual successor. The Goemon series is undoubtedly the transformation mechanic.
In fact, it is very important that the word bakeru, whose literal meaning in Japanese is “Change” as previously mentioned Not all change is created equal. So we meticulously ranked all the changes to find which ones fit Bakeru best.
6 Giant robot Bunpuku
Its uses are limited, but it's fun.
Unfortunately, Bunpuku only switches to tokusatsu mode during boss battles. But under the technical it is change And you get to play as a giant tanuki-themed teapot robot when that happens. So it is so.
Other than that you This form will not be accessible as needed. During the main game The biggest downside to the giant Bunbuku robot is that it controls like a giant teapot. In other words, this is very tricky. Most are normal. Because bosses in Bakeru are usually designed around that control style. But compared to the other tools in Bakeru's arsenal, this one is mostly just for show.
Most of the giant robot battles in Bakeru are designed with the format's limitations in mind, though. But there's one boss that we have to warn you about if you haven't played the game yet. The Sakurajima Dai-Con fight can be especially frustrating due to its time limit and difficult-to-block attack pattern. So get ready for a few battles.
5 Issun Henke
Certified Little Guy Energy – Literally
The most notable change in the game must be unlocked through a license from a saga hero and is called henge, which loosely translates. In English it is a “variant” or “morph” of the four basic henges in the game. The first one you will get is a license. Perhaps unsurprisingly, it is also the most limiting utility constraint.
Sun's Henge grants Bakeru the ability to shrink down to size and fit into an impenetrable space. That makes it useful for finding secrets. But since you cannot attack in this form. So you are in immediate danger every time you use it.
4 Kintaro Henge
Is it Children's Day already?
Kintaro, the legendary golden boy Son of superhuman strength It gives you the opportunity to increase Baker's attack power in exchange for reduced mobility and a larger attack box. Controlling what is essentially a tiny mobile suit, the downside here isn't much to speak of compared to the raw power that Henge offers. Unfortunately, so is that power.
Since most enemies in Bakeru aren't very defeatable to begin with, Kintaro Henge doesn't offer much that you can't do. There are some situations where you might consider removing it. But for the most part This change may not be implemented.
3 Ninggen/Human
It counts
Actually, Bakeru doesn't always look human. Technically speaking, he actually transforms into human form when the Issun clan sends Sun to seek help from the Tanuki clan, although he retains that form for the rest of the play when this happens.
In human form, Bakeru has incredible abilities. More than he was in Issun or Kintaro henge by a mile. He is agile. There are a variety of attacks. And there are satisfying blocks. which makes excellent use of the pure taiko drum and its mysterious powers. Strangely, that means The initial “change” is one of the best in the game.
2 Momotaro Henke
Peach peach peach peach peach peach
Momotaro was born into a giant peach. A hard worker who was finally able to exorcise the demons of Demon Island on his own, and now, thanks to Red's roller skates and a pair of cool pistols, You can do it too!
Being able to target and shoot large groups of enemies with the Peach Pistol feels great and tends to come in handy with the large numbers of enemies in the late game that get in your way. The only downside is how quickly this henge drains the meter. And roller skates are a little difficult to control.
1 Urashimataro Henge
I've gone fishing.
There's no easy way to say this, but Urashimataro's henge is the best change in the game because it's so overpowering. The dual fishing rods are designed to be a good option for enemies that are out of reach or need to be stunned in order to attack. But if you spam the attack button while in this form You will be able to clear The entire playground without much effort
It also happens that killing enemies in this form fills up the gauge faster than the form drains it. So if the change you really want in Bakeru is something that makes you an unkillable god, Urashimataro's Henge has got you covered, and nothing else even comes close.
