Summary
Japanese anime and giant robots are two things that apparently cannot be parted from one another. Assault Suit Leynos from Dacue Software is an excellent demonstration of that very fact as it is a PS4 game that actually looks not too dissimilar to a SNES game (if a SNES game had a lot of sprites on the screen at the same time, moving very quickly with not a single hint of flickering to be seen anywhere).
There is a back story to Assault Suit Leynos, but we'll leave that to one side as, quite frankly, that's not really the point. Just take it for granted that you play someone driving a massive mechanised exoskeleton that can almost single-handedly take on an entire invading army with little to no assistance.
Assault Suit Leynos is a very straightforward game that requires the player to walk/jump left to right across the screen while obliterating anything that is shooting at them and protecting those that aren't. Assault Suit Leynos may be powerful, but it still needs the support of the friendly forces it is fighting alongside. So much so that the player is required to interact with these units closely to ensure their survival.
The game harkens back to a type of game older gamers may have played many years ago in the Amiga/SNES/Megadrive days, but with the added bonus of not being so poorly designed and ridiculously difficult. In a nutshell, expect mayhem, fury and a lot of fun.
