GIGANTIC ARMY

PLOT: There's a war or something. Gigantic Army is a love-letter to NCS Masaya and their Assault Suits series. This might be before your time, but have you ever heard of Cybernator? Target Earth? Gigantic Army is designed much the same way. This is a mech shooter, but not that flashy Gundam Wing crap. The kind where all the mechs fly around looking beautiful, while J-POP plays in the background. This is more along...

Played the hell out of Cybernator (Assault Suits Valken) on my SNES during my teens. Game's legit. A few key differences are in how the game controls: unlike Cybernator, while you hold down the fire button your aiming is locked. Might be an improvement, but it's up to you. The "dash" move is just a short dash forward, rather than a continuous smooth glide on robo-skates. That aside, this ought to feel familiar...

Hearkening back to the SNES mecha platformer Metal Warriors, Gigantic Army is a side-scrolling action fest in which you must pilot your heavily-armored stomper mech into the heart of an alien world, blasting endless biomechanical baddies, blowing up enormous warmachines, and blocking, running, and leaping your way out of danger. This is not exactly the most inspired of concepts, but the execution here is intelligent...

You are one man in a robot, fighting through hundreds of cheap robots designed to knock you about a bit in between fights with expensive robots designed to break your robot into tiny little pieces. Kind of like Metal Slug with mechas, except it wont steal all your small change.

For those of us old-schoolers who mastered Cybernator and Metal Warriors, this will take you back to good times. Pros: -Nostalgia City -Multiple weapons-systems -Mixes the grand-scale and grit of Cybernator (SNES) with the "badass-hero vs maveric" feel of the Megaman Series. -Seperate HP, Manual Shield, and Thruster gauges. -Multiple Bosses per level. -Keypad config. Cons: -Japanese key-pay control system........

I see some people complain about the controls...And while this game would feel absolutely PERFECT if it used the right analog stick to aim, well....it doesnt. Having said that, you can remap the controls to your liking- I used RB for shield, Y for special attack, A to jump, X to shoot, and it worked fine. The time limit mechanic does feel unnecessary however, but its part of the game but really isnt too bad...
