Danball Senki is a role-playing game that centres on an assortment of
hobbies popular in Japan, set in the Akihabara of 2042, with a boy of thirteen
who collects plastic miniature models of fighting mechas as the protagonist.
The robots (named by the prefixal acronym «LBX» from «Little Battlers
Experience»; thus names of theirs are, for instance, «LBX Achilles», «LBX
Amazones» «LBX Warrior» and so forth) are moved by a small internal engine and
able of being personalised, to the double purpose of well-suiting the owner’s
taste and be victorious in battle against other game characters’ robots.
Combat takes place in cardboard dioramas, which are nothing but miniaturized
reproductions of locales, with an anime-inspired visual style. It is done in
real-time where the player takes direct control of the mechas.
