Rohga: Armor Force is a run and gun/platform hybrid arcade game. Two years have passed since the military occupation of New York City in 1999 and since then Ragnarok - the organization responsible for the events - have disappeared following their air borne destruction. During that time, mech technology has been the boom of future military projects worldwide with the biggest factories residing in Oceania. These mechs become the main target of Ragnarok when it resurfaces and claims the military factories and cities of Australia and New Zealand. Their plan is to apparently use any and all of the deadliest mechs that have not yet reached completion to their chaotic liking.

Atomic Runner.... TWO!!!!
This game should rock, but it lasts twice as long as it should, and re-uses the same enemies at that. Still worth the play tho imo

i didn't played this version, i played the japanese version for the arcade called Wolf Fang, still the tradition of japanese box art butchering remains strong i see, i'd recomend still because this is one hell of a fun mech game, can't say for the ps1 port as i have no idea how fair some sections are gonna be with limited continues, but maming it is a total blast, worth the near 2 hours of your time
What a fantastic run'and gun and shoot'em up hybrid! You pilot a giant robot that can dash, jump, crouch, slash, bomb, and shoot your way through a slew of enemies coming from all angles including behind you. In the beginning you choose your robot or you can customize parts to make your own that suits your play style for example having a long-sword and homing missile combination.
Overall excellent action-packed 2P experience that spans more than ten stages. Once your robot is destroyed you eject similar to Metal Warriors and are now allowed to fly and shoot thanks to your jet pack - once you collect three power item pieces then you can re-build your robot suit.

Horizontal scrolling mech shoot em up. Four mech types to choose or you can build you own by choosing between four special weapons, melee weapons, and leg types. Leg type changes movement speed, jump height, and number of ally soldiers that can ride and shoot off you (2-4). Your special weapon can be used when a meter charges once or twice for a more powerful version and the charges come fairly quickly, you can squat down and dash along the ground, if you are flying or underwater you can dash upwards, holding down the fire button will lock you into shooting in a certain direction or angle while allowing you to move back or forward, your melee weapon is used on close targets and can destroy certain enemy projectiles. Powerups can be found to increase your life, fill your charge meter, or power up your main weapons. Weapons drop in the form of a cylinder that you shoot to change the letter on, signifying the spread vulcan gun, a laser gun, grenade launcher, or a kind of shotgun energy weapon.
When your mech is destroyed you eject and continue to fight as a pilot. Your pilot form can have allies follow you while your suit makes you fast, maneuverable, and a small target, but you lose your special and melee weapon, one hit will kill you, and your main weapon is down to the weakest form. When you die you can choose to respawn in one of the game's four mech configurations or in the fifth form that you could have constructed yourself.
Responsive, varied stages, good bosses, good music, and being able to choose your own mech parts is a good touch. Kind of sequel to Vapor Trail but plays nothing like it.
US version removes stage story intermissions, level select that gives you two mission options for an easier and harder missions, three of the four endings, but has you play through all 12 stages like Japan's expert mode. Better than a lot of games that would just put you on a linear path while removing the other levels. This does mean that the difficulty fluctuates quite a bit between stages, the game can last too long, and while the bosses are different there are similar styled ones that probably wouldn't have seen as much if you were going off a stage select.
