I call upon the Giant Robot!
Re: I call upon the Giant Robot!
#9
I've got a pair of games for the PS and PS2 called Front Mission (3 and 4 respectively). It's a turn based combat system.
The mechs in the game are called Wansers and are around 15 to 20 feet tall. in the games you can customise your wansers by switching out each arm (separately), the legs (together), the body and the optional backpack. you can also switch out and mix and match the weapon systems however you like, if you have the weight allowance.
each body has a certain amount of power/weight capacity available, as well a certain amount of armor/HPs. the arms have set HPs and a set modifier for attacks, the legs have HPs and a set speed. speaking of which, the legs can be treads or hover based. Naturally the available body parts and weapons get better as the game goes on.
Weapons are either shoulder mounted (missile, rocket or grenade launchers) or a wide variety of hand held weapons.
weapons are divided into 3 damage types, Pentrating, Impact or Flame, and you can make your armor more resistant to 1 of those types.
Weapons include:
Impact: Clubs, 'brass knuckles' type weapons, shotguns, bazookas
Penetrating: wanser sized SMGs, Rifles (long range, single shot), hydralic spikes (melee)
Flame: flamethrowers, missiles, rockets and grenades
there's also the occasional prototype beam weapon on a 'boss' enemy's wanser
In #3, there were only 2 kinds of backpacks. Powerpacks (enabling you to add more/better weapons) or cargo (for ammo reloads, repair items, ect). #4 added repair packs, jetpacks, sensor packs (lets friendly missile-armed mechs hit targets usually out of their range) and a radio pack (can call in airstrikes or resupply drops)__________________
