How it feels

Smashing through waves of enemies as a hulking robot before settling into a focused one-on-one duel gives this game a punchy, two-phase rhythm of chaos and control.

About

A combination of 2D sprite-base action game and a 3D polygonal versus fighting game. The main gameplay has you controlling a giant Gundam-like robot, crashing every enemy unit in your path. After beating a stage boss character, the game switches into a 3D one-on-one fighter game. This mix of styles really sets it apart as a unique game.
