About This Game

Side-scrolling mech-shooting bad-assery is BACK!

GIGANTIC ARMY is a heartfelt homage to 16-bit era mech shooters such as Cybernator / Assault Suits Valken, Metal Warriors, and Front Mission: Gun Hazard, developed by the studio behind the acclaimed shooter SATAZIUS.

It is the 21st century and Earth is at war with the Ramulons – an alien race determined to stop humanity’s advance into space.

Mankind’s war against the Ramulons has reached the planet Ramulon itself and it is now down to YOU to pilot the ‘GMR-34 SALADIN’ - a Manned Combat Robot - and take on the Ramulon army. Customize your arsenal of explosive, projectile and plasma weapons, and combine them with melee attacks, thrusters and shield to take the fight to the enemy and end the conflict!

GIGANTIC ARMY boasts awesome retro arcade stylings, slick animation, superbly detailed character and stage design, and addictively frenetic game play.

Features:
• Six stages of intense mech-shooting action!
• Twelve mid and end level bosses of gargantuan proportions to take down!
• Four difficulty modes from ‘Easy’ to ‘Insane’ to cater for all skill levels!
• Customizable weapons load-out to suit your play style!
• Dash, thrusters and shield give your mech satisfying maneuverability and defensive options!
• Rebalanced gameplay from the original Japanese version!
• 42 achievements!
• Steam Trading Cards!
• Linux Version!
• Bonus retro packaging PDF assets to create your own physical version!

The game is rather short. However, it is quite fun. I can recommend it since it's good.

This is thoroughly a spiritual successor to Assault Suits Valken/Cybernator. Even at that, Gigantic Army is a very pure game that can differentiate itself from Valken, the later MECHBLAZE, and other mecha platformers in general. If you vibe with it, you'll be coming back to it. Movement is appropriately weighty and deliberate. Walking gives tight but slow control while dashing has some inertia and locks the facing direction. Useful for firing backwards while keeping free aiming, but the double-tap input can get in the way of needing to take small steps into a tight bullet pattern. Moving in any direction will aim towards that direction. You can stop or lock freely at any point to fire at any angle. Properly aiming can be hard at times because the swivel is fairly fast and there is a long-enough-to-be-noticeable delay between holding the fire button and the direction locking. Can be avoided by letting go of movement before holding as a compromise. Jumps are a fixed height, the jetpack ...
