Power Dolls FX Walkthru

[neofan]

My birthday present to the PC-FX this year will be to actually FINISH my walkthru for my favorite SLG game for the PC-FX, Power DOLLS FX.

I agree there are much better, polished, strategy games, even for the FX out there in 32-Bit land, but I had the most fun playing thru this one.
It doesn't get much mention ever, and the anime it's based on seems pretty obscure.

Power Dolls FX is a turn-based strategy game with giant mechs. It spawned a PS1 sequel and a PC fighting game.
If you know what the goal to each level is, the game is great.
I found it a pretty easy and playable game, once you get past all the menus.

I've gone thru it again over the last month, and have good strategies for the first 9 levels.
The only reason I didn't play the hell out of this back in the day was because the mission goals were not very clear.

The current FAQ <on GameFaqs>, is based on the English version of the PC game released by MegaTech Soft, and it's only got the first 3 leveles, and even such, it's pretty useless for beating even the first level

I'll send a text version for Aaron here on this site in a week or so, and I'll host a pretty version with pics later.

I'm pretty sure the anime is based on the game. Chronologically the game came out first and then the anime. I wouldn't be surprised though if they initially went into production semi-simultaneously though since I find it hard to believe that any FX game would be popular enough to spawn two OVAs. The anime, IIRC, was hella boring.

And it looks like this was not a very profitable title, it took Kogado Studios 6 frikin' years to produce their next game 

Their latest game from March 2009 <yes they are still around> was the Power Dolls 1 PC game, a fighting game I believe.
...I guess that's what they mean by the circle of life

you mean the next powerdolls from kogado, or just the next kogado game? because kogado still releases a fair amount of stuff, and a large number of powerdolls games. It came out for the PC first, I believe (PC-98 or something) but I could be wrong about that.
