Description
You play Sanjuro Makabe, a Mobile Combat Armor (MCA) pilot and Commander in the UCA Security Force. The UCA was originally formed by three dominant megacorporations (Andra Biomechanics, Armacham Technology Corporation, and Shogo Industries). Originally intended as a joint venture that would ensure the continued profitability of the three organizations that founded it, the UCA is now independent, and the dominant military power in existence.

Your mission is to locate and assassinate a rebel leader known only as Gabriel. All of the action takes place either on the planet Cronus or on the spaceship Leviathan. The Leviathan is the flagship of the UCA and is commanded by Admiral Akkaraju. Cronus is the only known source of the biologically active material known as Kato, an incredibly powerful energy source essential to the process by which interstellar travel is possible.

Your deadly enemy is The Fallen, a fanatical terrorist group lead by the mysterious Gabriel, threatens the balance of power on Cronus, and ultimately, control of Kato. You will fight them on your feet or from within one of the different types of Mobile Combat Armor, a giant mech which can run, duck, strafe, swim or transform into an ultrafast hovertank.

You will know the true power of giant robots!
  • Anime-influenced graphics and gameplay design
  • Fight on foot or pilot a giant mech in both open and urban environments
  • An interesting storyline with two possible endings

Doesn't run anymore

Unless they intend to update the game, I don't know why would still sell it. Really disappointed

Do not buy.

This is a great game but it will not run on anything past windows 7. The game should be delisted until it has been updated through the "presvervation program" though that was the whole selling point of Good Old Games back in 08. Good Old Games, Uncut, uncensored and DRM Free, that work on modern hardware. Not "here are a bunch of old games that will launch but not run"

Mechs + Big guns, what more do you want?

This game is one of the most brilliant games I've played to date, the game itself is very addicting and even though the level design is sub-par being able to just run around and blow stuff up with awesome weapons really makes the game so much fun! The game switches between the main character on foot and in his mech, which gives the game lots of variability. However the game's difficulty certainly rises as you get towards the last few levels and you have to find ways of tricking the AI into not shooting first, which is my only complaint about the game, they can turn and shoot without almost any delay so beware opening doors and standing right in front of them, its a sure way you will lose half your health. Overall I give this game a 95/100, one of the best action games of the late 90s.

Great Game!!

Shogo was one of a handful of games that I have missed over the years. Due to moves and such, I had lost my original Shogo CD, but was excited when I saw GOG was selling it for $6! A testiment to the saying 'Great games don't need amazing graphics', this game has an amazing story, good music and a great combination of gameplay. Its built on the LithTech 1.0 Engine which doesn't stack up as nicely to similar games of the same period, but the content of the game overrides any technical shortcoming. If you've never played Shogo, here's a chance to play great game at a bargin price. If you have played Shogo and can't find your disc, its worth the $6 to place through again!

FPS messiah from the shadows

Let's start by saying, that if this game had come out before half life, it would had been the grand messiah of FPS genre, just as Doom and Half life are seen now. It is hard to understand how many things this game gets right, I won't comment the story yet for I haven't completed the game (feels like your usual mecha-anime stuff). But as for levels, the design is rather good and entertaining. But what I really think hits the spot are the weapons, they kick ass. For they really do feel powerful, usually what it needs to take down a light armored target is two rounds from assault rifle, one if you hit chest or head. Armored targets take few more rounds, but they also go down fast. And also, you are a light target, so watch those corners and doorways, this is no quake. I was very surprised how much fun it was :) The things change when you fight with your MCA (Mobile Combat Armor) most of weapons do some sort of area damage, enemies and yourself take some heavy punishment and fighting takes place in cities or wastelands, you get to choose from 5 different mechs with varying armor and speed characteristics. Take note though, this is no mech "simulation", action is pretty straight forward and works just like you would be infantry.... except you can destroy enemy tanks and MCA's with a giant robot packing lots of firepower from rockets to large laser rifles, and a sword (it's anime, go and figure). It's all fun, I knew this game was rated high back in the day, and I know it got good grades in GoG, but I was still surprised by this title. Sure the graphics haven't aged well, but if you can see under the old graphics engine, there's a very entertaining and solid game underneath :)
