Cyberbots: FullMetal Madness (サイバーボッツ) is a versus fighting game by Capcom. It was ported to the Sega Saturn and released exclusively in Japan in 1997.

Story

Near the end of the 21st century, Earth begins to become overpopulated, leading to many people living in man-made space colonies. The primary army of the planet, Earth Force, has been conducting experiments that will determine the future of Earth.

Gameplay

The game is a versus fighting game in which the player controls large mecha called "VAs" (for Valiant or Variant Armor). Gameplay is similar to other Capcom fighting games, with various special attacks available to each mecha. Players choose a pilot and a mecha; the mecha determine the gameplay of the game, while the pilot determines the storyline and the opponents faced. Each selectable mecha uses a different mix of weapon, arm, and leg components, which gives them different attack and movement properties. Battles are duels fought to the best of three rounds, where the two mecha try to deplete each other's vitality within a time limit.

The mecha move with Left or Right, crouch with Down, and jump with Up. They can boost on the ground with Left Left or Right Right to close distance on their opponents or by holding C or R with a direction. The mecha can attack while boosting. They can boost in the air as well by holding C or R with a direction after jumping. Ground boosting can be done without limit, but air boosting expends the Boost gauge, which recovers quickly when not used. Mecha handle air boosting differently depending on their leg components: Command Walker and Treads can dash in any of eight directions, Insectroid can perform a double jump, and Turbo Jets can be freely steered in any direction.

Light attacks are performed with A and heavy attacks are performed with B. Each mecha has a variety of attacks depending on whether it is standing, crouching, jumping, or dashing. Normal attacks can involve conventional punches and kicks but also often involve ranged weapons and can hit multiple times. Because of the simple button layout, the game has less emphasis on combos than other fighting game of the time. Each mecha also has a special weapon that is launched with L. Like normal attacks, weapons can vary depending on whether the mecha is standing, crouching, jumping, or dashing. While weapons have unlimited ammunition, using a weapon expends the Weapon gauge, which recovers when not used. In addition, mecha have special moves performed using button combinations, similar to other fighting games.

Attacks can be blocked, including in midair, by holding the D-Pad away from the opponent. The mecha can perform a grab or a throw by holding Left or Right when near an opponent and pressing either attack button. After being thrown, a mecha can reduce the damage taken and recover more quickly by pressing C rapidly. After landing on the ground from being knocked down or thrown, a mecha can slide out of the way with Left or Right. In addition to losing vitality, each mecha has an Arm gauge that depletes as it takes repeated damage (similar to a stun mechanic common in other fighting games). The gauge replenishes quickly when the mecha is not under attack, but if the gauge is drained, the mecha's arm falls off, limiting the attacks it can perform. Arms can be reattached by walking over them.

Each mecha has a Power gauge that is charged with energy every time it hits an opponent. It can also be charged rapidly by holding both attack buttons simultaneously. Once the gauge is fully charged, the gauge and the mecha begin to flash, indicating that the player can execute a Cyber EX move. This is a special technique that hits multiple times if it connects and does high damage. Executing a Cyber EX moves drains the entire Power gauge even if it does not connect. The gauge is carried over between rounds.

Modes

In the single-player Arcade Mode, the chosen character faces nine opponents in a predetermined order. There are fully voiced story cutscenes between each battle. There are eight difficulty levels for computer-controlled opponents. A second player can challenge the first by pressing  START  on another control pad. The winner of this battle continues the game from the story of the victorious character.

There is also a dedicated two-player Versus Mode where players can choose a handicap, the number of rounds (1, 3, or 5), and the stage.

Pilots

In the Arcade Mode, Jin, Mary, Santana, Gawaine, Bao and Mao, and Arieta can choose any mecha from the four standard classes (Blodia, Reptos, Fordy, and Guldin). The three console-exclusive characters, Chiyomaru and Tessan Hagure, S.H.A.D.E., and Devilotte, only fight with their personal mecha (the Gaits, Helion, and Super-8 respectively). Opponents are typically (but not always) encountered in their personal mecha. In the Versus Mode, any character can pilot any mecha. Players cannot choose the same pilot in two-player games.

In either mode, the Gaits, Helion, and Super-8 can be unlocked for any pilot that can choose a mecha by completing the Arcade Mode with their respective pilots on at least the default difficulty level. The Warlock is additionally unlocked when the Gaits, Helion, and Super-8 have all been unlocked. The Zero-Gouki is unlocked by completing the Arcade Mode as any character on at least the default difficulty level without using a continue.
