Cyberbots: Fullmetal Madness

The premise in Cyberbots is similar to Armored Warriors, albeit it features only a maximum of two playable characters on screen as opposed to three. Cyberbots is a very innovative game, attributed to its amount of selectable options, parts, and mecha that permit the player to format their play style to their preference. Similar to the Armored Core series, different legs (which affect movement abilities), arms (which affect reach and melee capabilities) and weapons can be mixed and matched between the selectable robots available to the player. Gameplay in Cyberbots is similar to other Capcom-created fighting games, with a medium-sized command list of executing various attacks available to each individual robot. Battles are a duel-formatted affair with players and the computer fighting against one another to proceed to the next battle.

The story

Set at the end of the 21st century, mankind has expanded beyond the limits of Earth and begun to colonize the depths of space. Defending Earth’s interests and serving as the colonies’ primary line of defense is the Earth Force, an army of gigantic mechs and the crack pilots who fly them. Now, you must pick a pilot from a cast of six different characters and one of twelve unique and powerful mechs, then duke it out in classic 2D style! As you win battles, upgrade and customize your mech with new parts and weapons, all while uncovering more about Earth Force and its nefarious experiments. Their work, along with the actions of your character, will determine Earth’s future!
