Shogo MCA
This article is for documenting the mecha game play of Shogo: Mobile Armour Division.
The game allows you to pilot four Mobile Combat Armours (or MCAs):
- Armacham Ordog Advanced Series 7
- Shogo Akuma Series 12
- Andra 35 Predator
- UCA Mark VII Enforcer
Each mech can transform into a hover-transport mode for high-speed transit (weapons cannot be fired in transport mode). The primary difference between the four is their melee weapon, speed, and number of hit points. The Ordog carries a combat knife and possesses 1,000 HP and up to 2,000 armour and is the second fastest MCA behind the Akuma but has the worst vehicle-mode handling compared to the other MCAs. The Enforcer carries an energy blade and, like the Ordog, possesses 1,000 HP and up to 2,000 armour and is noticeably slower but makes up for this by not having the Ordog's maneuverability problems. The Akuma carries a katana and possesses 800 HP and up to 1,600 armour and is easily the fastest MCA in the game. The heavyweight Predator is by far the slowest and carries an energy baton and possesses 1,200 HP and up to 2,400 armour. In terms of movement performance and weapons loadout, however, there is little perceptible difference between the various mecha. The games' manual states that one of the items can upgrade the look and performance of your mech (armour and HP wise). The opening cinematic of the game shows a white mech - hinting the Mark VII Enforcer with upgrades.
There are numerous enemy mecha, but most have lengthy recoil animations from damage that exceed the average reload time of the player's weapons, as a result it is easy to constantly damage the enemy and have them perform the animation until dead and take little or no damage even from many enemies engaged at once.
