Description
The player pilots a combat mech to neutralise enemy armies in this Core Design isometric shooter on Mega-CD. Published by Core Design, released in Europe in January 1995. Isometric shooter with upgradeable mech, varied missions on distinct terrains, enriched CD music and sound effects. Multilingual version.
An isometric shooter from Core Design, Battlecorps has you pilot a combat mech tasked with clearing invaded zones, mixing shooting, weapon management and exploration of levels in simulated three dimensions. The technical ambition and the cold mechanical mood give it character, but the legibility of the isometric view and an at-times confusing pace make it hard to get into. The presentation stays dated. A curiosity for fans of offbeat mech shooters and explorers of the British Mega-CD catalog.
