Gaming Retrospective - Shogo: MAD



You like anime mech fights, you have wet dreams about terminator movies? If you like all things robotic this is the game that might interest you, considering the game is very old, it would not be fair to compare it with recent Titanfall but hey, it still has merrits 20 years after. Shogo: MAD (Mobile Armored Division) is a FPS game released in 1998 and developed by Monolith Productions. Players take a role of Sanjuro Makabe, a soldier pilot from mobile combat armor division in a war against rebel faction.




Game can be played from two perspectives, human and huge mech, but unlike advanced Mechwarrior games this is just a FPS with not to many advanced mech systems Mechwarrior games have. Huge arsenal is available from human and mech perspective and you will have quite a lot of firepower and mech on mech action. Game environments were diverse and graphics at the time were very good. Some very strange gaming mechanism was introduced with totally randomized critical hits, that created some crazy situations where you would just die if enemy crits you, but you could also crit them the same, splash dmg did crazy amounts of dmg, specially when it managed to crit. Shogo: MAD is another great FPS game from some older gaming times.
