Hardcore Mecha (Code Hardcore) for PS4 - Chinajoy 2018 Trailer
- Thread starter Loudninja
- Start date
It's explicitly inspired by the Super Robot Wars series. The devs want to make the cutscenes playable, basically.
I played it last year at TGS and it's awesome.
Breh, don't tell me you never played the Assault Suit series before? This is more inspired by the Assault Suit series than Metal Slug despite the SD look. Still I can get what you mean, those are some tight looking SD mechs.
Also this game was originally on Kickstarter
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1609568567/code-hardcore-the-coolest-2d-mecha-battle-game
...and looking through it, it is releasing on PC too at least.
that's what i thought, like one of those games you get ads for on other games
also horrible name
Now that I see you can hop out of the mechs, it really does look like a modern take on Metal Warriors.
This is going to be one of those low-key games people post gifs of in unrelated popular threads and cause others to go nuts.
I can practically "feel" the tight controls by looking at the trailer.

Weren't the Assault games about fighting in mechs?
This is both fighting on foot and entering mechs, very much like MS.
Might be disappointed if you expect Metal Slug. To me it looks like slower "sim-like" mech side scrollers of old. But I could be wrong too. Or it's something in-between.
I'm thinking something like this Gigantic Army thing on Steam and the games the description says it pays homage to.
Edit: oh yeah I totally forgot about Assault Suit Leynos lol, that's got higher production values. There's also Gunhound EX.
Yeah, I was going to say, this looks familiar. We did see this last year, didn't we? Then we heard nothing about it since. Nice to see it's still in dev.
Reminds me a bit of Earth's Dawn.
They were 2D side scrolling action games where your character is a mech suit.
Yeah it can go either way, as long as the gameplay is tight it's all good though.
Would love for this game to turn out solid.
Talking specifically about on foot and in mech combat. At one point in the trailer you see the pilot fighting on foot (ala Marco etc.) instead of in the mech.
Looks fucking awesome.
Always super ultra ready for 2d mech action!
Just by looking at the gameplay, I can already "feel" it and it's mechanics. Makes my fingers excited to try it out by myself.

I followed this heavily during the kickstarter and right after. Then it just kind of disappeared, other than a few updates. I recall there being a somewhat active thread on the old site around the Kickstarter announcement too. Nice to see that it's still alive and so close to release. Arc System Works being involved doesn't surprise me. It was an ambitious project. I remember mentioning the it to Rising Star as Assault Suit Leynos had just launched in the US.
I kind of want to get it on release, but this seems like one of those titles that will get a limited physical release. Might just wait a bit to see if someone presses a disc.

So glad I backed this on Kickstarter back when they announced it, really loving the development they've put into it.
