What aggravates this frustrating situation is a complete lack of a sense of speed in the aerial missions. The background environments, sparsely populated with detail as they already are, barely move at all. In fact, the only indication you'll get that your Veritech is actually moving are the relative locations of the enemies all around you, and even those are often just small specks on the screen. Conversely, levels that take place within the confines of a city require you to switch to either battloid or guardian mode, both of which are sluggish in their lateral movements.
Neither has any sort of quick turn maneuver; side-to-side strafing for both is painfully slow; and instead of being assigned to separate analog sticks, the aiming and movement controls are handled strictly by the left analog stick.
This is also true of the fighter mode, which effectively removes its ability to roll over along its Y-axis or perform a loop along its Z-axis. This handicap in mobility across all three modes hardly represents the incredible agility of the Veritech as portrayed in the show.
Thankfully, the control problem of Battlecry's Veritechs is somewhat offset by its combat, which, for the most part, does a good job of mirroring the show's frenetic pace. In the game, all three Veritech modes have one primary weapon and one secondary weapon. In the fighter mode, your Veritech's primary attack is a machine gun that has a limited ability to track enemies, and the secondary weapon is the signature "drunken missile" salvo, where a bunch of missiles lock on and wildly streak toward their targets.
The guardian mode shares these exact weapons, though its machine gun can track enemies in a wider arc, and its missiles are more agile, albeit somewhat weaker. The battloid mode lacks any kind of missile weapon, though its primary and secondary machine gun attacks can track practically any enemy onscreen.
The game's combat mechanic is reminiscent of Panzer Dragoon's in that you can lock onto a single enemy onscreen with your primary weapon, but your secondary missile attack can lock onto numerous targets at once, so long as you keep the attack button depressed.
Once you let go, you'll launch separate but simultaneous attacks on all the enemies you had targeted. The number of targets you can lock onto at once depends on the number of missile salvos you have left.
Robotech: Battlecry gives you an infinite supply of ammo, but this ammo takes a while to regenerate: about three seconds for every missile salvo. You can hold off on firing your secondary weapons in order to recharge your ammunition in order to attack numerous enemies at once, or you can keep using your missiles to attack a single target at a time.
Fans of the series will undoubtedly enjoy shooting down handfuls of Zentraedi battle pods, fighter pods, and power-armor-clad warriors at a time.
You'll also run into the occasional boss in the form of a powerful female warrior much like Robotech 's Miriya, as well as an officer battle pod much like Khyron's, and several of the show's memorable characters like Rick Hunter, Lisa Hayes, Roy Fokker, and Lynn Minmei make cameo appearances throughout the game as well. Likewise, the game does a great job of mimicking the look and feel of the series, thanks to the use of cel-shaded graphics.
All of the mechs in Battlecry--be it the Veritechs that you and your squadron pilot, the ground-based destroids, or the varied Zentraedi mechs--are drawn using the same color scheme as their TV counterparts, and their in-game animations are particularly impressive. This is especially true of your Veritech, which can be seen transforming between its three modes with precision and without any skipping. Effects like explosions, smoke, and your gun's muzzle flash are drawn in a stylized fashion, and they fit Battlecry's overall cel-shaded theme nicely.
The game certainly isn't lacking in the number of missions available, either. Battlecry has five chapters, and each contains between half a dozen and a dozen individual missions. Johnston, get their fair share of scenarios. In all, novice historians will find themselves becoming familiar with events they might not have encountered anywhere else.
History buffs and wargaming purists will be less impressed by the historical accuracy of these simulations, but then they always are. Battle Cry th Civil War Anniversary Edition is designed for the mainstream boardgame player who enjoys fast-paced war scenarios with a touch of historical flavor. This game does a fine job of meeting that want.
The importance of the tactical cards cannot be overlooked, because these give you special abilities that can change the equation in your favor. These include orders like scout, probe, attack, assault, and more rarely recon in force, coordinated attack, and outflank.
You might think attack and assault sound a lot alike, but one lets you give 3 orders to attack, while the other lets you send out a number of attack orders according to how many cards you have in your hand.
Diverse Factions — fight for three unique factions, including the Royal Marines, the Cossacks, and the Han Republic, all which come from diverse locations around the world. Free-Form Movement — grapple, glide, and dive across the game's environments with awesome parkour moves. Character Customization — outfit your characters with equipment and tweak their skill builds to create a perfect character to suit your preferences.
