xyzzysqrlThis was such a fucking late-80s/mid-90s anime OAV of a game.
-- Main hero has amnesia and a dead father and is some kind of prototype person.
-- Entire plot was nonsensical babble about the six people (and 40,000 faceless snow pirates) who live on a frozen asswad of a planet, and the military's plan to terraform it by killing all those people, and there are betrayals and traitors betraying traitors who betrayed their betrayers and jesus I could NOT keep track of this shit.
-- That's okay because MECHA. Lots and lots of giant robots. And then the main character gets the prototype dingus his father made and clamps it onto his arm and HIS MECHA TURNS INTO A SUPER ROBOT YEAAAAAAAH and the last boss fight is fucking Zone of the Enders except with a control scheme you've NEVER USED BEFORE so it's both AWESOME and INTENSELY FRUSTRATING.
-- In the end everyone except our heroes is dead so they kind of win by default, and develop their own ... terraforming missiles? That melt the snow, and our hero has amnesia again so he and the main girl meet again FOR THE FIRST TIME and yet all I can think about is his fur-rimmed jacket and how much Capcom loved fur-lined jackets in this period of gaming.
Also everything in this game likes to knock you down or stun-juggle you, which was a tremendous ass-pain. Flopping over on the floor or watching your character reel around out of your control really isn't fun, game developers! I don't know why you keep doing that!
Oh well. Not every game is A++ Great material.
