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
Unique FPS, ridiculously bloody with a nice sense of humor. The game is a little short but it is very entertaining and it's not every game that let's you shoot stuff, then climb in a Mecha and then shoot more stuff!!!
Simple approach to Mecha controls that just works, there should be more Mecha games with this kind of controls scheme
Shogo is simply great fun, and manages to combine good old fashioned FPS action -- with the added benefit that it switches between mech and foot-based combat so that you at least appear to get two for the price of one -- with humor and a different kind of plot-line; I can hardly imagine Gordon Freeman having to save a woman's pet cat from the wackos who want to eat it, or trying to decide whether or not to admit to his ex-girlrfiend that he's now dating her sister... though perhaps Half-Life would have kept my attention for longer if he had.
Really I can't say much more than that; while the graphics are dated, the AI is old and the anime-based plot is somewhat bizarre, I think I've played through this game more times than any other FPS I own because it never gets boring.
Still rember those days when I was sitting weeks afront of this, great reminder of how FPS were fun and not-only one corridor way. 3 ingame choices where one makes game ending whole different makes this game unforgetable piece of fun!
A game that I can not stop playing over and over again. This is an instant classic and seriously should not be ignored. I remembered playing the demo but never owning the full game. Thanks to GOG, we can now play this timeless game. The game is iconic for its detailed storyline and two way gameplay. Controlling a mech is one, the action packed scenes and bosses never make it repetitive and you find yourself immersed in scenes of busy futuristic cities and landscapes. Along with a large arsenal of varied guns from lasers to explosives.
The action doesn't stop, being on foot is the second. Shoot your way through complex offices and streets of varied armies that will not stop until you are gone. Giving you a continous action experience.
The game's graphics are brilliant, even to this day.
Having the lasers and particles fly right past you give you the sense of futuristic warfare. This game should seriously be considered about being played if you are interested in robots, lasers, anime, classic fps games or to take a trip down memory lane.
A game in which I believe has brilliant storyline and gamplay, deserves a 5/5.
For me this game is all about the atmosphere. Cheesy, humorous, anime-inspired, gory, absurd... It is one-of-its-kind game for me, the kind that is so lacking in todays game world. Although it didn't break much ground in terms of gameplay, one can't mistake this game for any other. There is no second Shogo, as there is no second Blood.
