Oh man here we go, here’s another in my growing collection of Robots Basically Nobody But Me Will Care About.  This is the AS-5E3 Leynos, from Assault Suit Leynos!  (see what I mean?)  It is a video game bot from a great cult series, and is rendered here in molded plastic pieces for the purposes of putting together into an articulated toy!  The color is pretty meh at the whole thing is molded in a whopping THREE colors, kinda tan/beige, and TWO whole shades of GREY.  Even the red eye actually comes as a blank translucent piece that I used a red sharpie to add color to.  It doesn’t pose super well, the engineering is a little old fashioned, a couple parts pop off pretty easy... and it cost me like 90 bucks...

And I still love it.  It’s a re-release of an old kit, and its a very limited run of a super niche topic for a piece of merch at all, let alone for a model kit.  I can forgive the oldness and even the price (to a degree) on those points, I’m glad it exists and that I have it.  I’ll likely end up shelling out again for the same company’s release of another different Assault Suit mech, even knowing how the line is with this one.  The company, PLUM, also does kits for famous shmup ships too, of which I have the R9-A Arrowhead from R-Type.  And I definitely wanna support these kits getting made at all.

Also he’s pretty dang big!  And that gun is wonderfully overblown, very 90′s.  Few more shots under the cut!

So, funny sort of good news, bad news thing about Armored Hunter Gunhound EX. Well, a couple little thoughts and things I want to mention regarding how much... uh, "fun" I'm having with the game.

The bad parts so far are not insignificant. First off, the game is delisted, so you can't buy it even if you want it. I already owned it so I could download and play it, but if you want to try it yourself, you need to look somewhere other than Steam. Second, I cannot seem to wrap my head around these controls very well at all. It's a PSP indie/doujin game, so it's designed for a D-pad and 8 buttons total. This works, but it's janky and I'm not handling it well at all. Third, new equipment is unlocked by getting lots of total points, and you lose all your points on continuing from a checkpoint, so that means default weapons would be something I'd basically be stuck with (except the Shield that's unlocked by beating the tutorial) if it weren't for some of the good news.

The good bits each counter one of the previously mentioned bad bits. First, while the game is delisted, it has also been released as open source, and its main inspiration, Assualt Suits Leynos, is available in an HD remaster on Steam or in its original release on the Switch Online Genesis games (localized as Target Earth). Second, the game seems pretty short, so I'll power through it regardless of my issues since I'm pretty sure that I won't hit a completely insurmountable brick wall to just finishing. It won't be a high skill playthrough but it will get done. Lastly, I found a glitch that lets me very easily (but somewhat slowly) get free points to add to the total score and unlock all the weapons. Funny enough, this also means that if I take the time to do exactly that, I'll have all the achievement for this game as well since they are tied to the score total and completing the tutorial. Very strange choice.

So far, my basic thoughts are that I love the aesthetic, really hate how rough the controls feel, and am kinda indifferent toward most of the rest of the game. All well, they can't all be winners. Maybe I'll have a better opinion when the campaign is all finished up.

Cybernator aka Assaults Suits Valken got a new release on the Nintendo Switch. Shame I don't have a Switch to check it out. Which is a damn shame because all the extra stuff they’re including in the new release sounds pretty cool. Hopefully there’ll be a Steam port or someone might “liberate” that extra content.

Before anyone asks, the Valken and the Leynos here are from the Video Game Robotics toy line, an offshoot of the Shooting Game Historica line by Yujin.

Super Famicom - Assault Suits Valken

Title: Assault Suits Valken / 重装機兵ヴァルケン

Developer/Publisher: NCS Masaya

Release date: 18 December 1992

Catalogue Code: SHVC-AV

Genre: Horizontal Shooter

No. of Players: 1

Many of you may know this game under its western title of Cybenator. You may also think that it was developed by Konami just like Prince of Persia was for the Super Famicom. Well, neither was developed by Konami. They only distributed the games in the West. Prince of Persia and this fine game, Assault Suits Valken were actually developed by NCS Masaya. In fact, NCS Masaya was responsible for so many great games on the Super Famicom, Mega Drive / Mega CD, Saturn, PC Engine, and other systems that it’s hard to even remember them all. They also produced quite a few stinkers, especially in the final days of the company. Thankfully, Assault Suit Valken is one of their quality games and part of the Assault Suit(s) series.

The Assault Suit(s) series started out life on the Mega Drive in 1990 under the title of Assault Suit Leynos (Target Earth in the US), Then came Assault Suits Valken (Cybernator in the West) in 1992. NCS went back to the Leynos title with Assault Suits Leynos 2 on the Saturn in 1997 which remained a Japanese exclusive. Up until now, the series was a fantastic but quite tough giant robot blaster. Then came the PlayStation games …….  Assault Suits Valken II was released in 1999 for the PlayStation but to the disappointment of many who were expecting a full-on follow-up to the SFC original, they ended up with an average strategy war game, YAWN!!!! The series then lay quiet for a couple of years until 2004 when Assault Suits Valken was re-released on the PlayStation 2 as one of those “enhanced” HD remakes. In reality, it was the original SFC game fitted with a really shitty graphics filter. Needless to say, it looks bloody awful. The SFC original running on an HD TV in 1080p via an XRGB looks a million times better.

Anyway, back to the game in question, the original Super Famicom version of Assault Suits Valken. During the western translation, a few cuts were made from the game. Most noticeable is the absence of all character portraits during the dialog scenes. Also, there’s a cut scene near the end of the game where the president of the defeated country commits suicide by shooting himself in the head. Finally, the ending is cut short in the Western release. Yep, Cybernator is missing a lot so your best bet would be to buy the Japanese version.

All of the Assault Suit(s) games are tough, and it was this toughness that put many people off the series. Because they couldn’t just charge through blasting away, they deemed the games rubbish but that’s not the case. Assault Suits Valken requires a lot of strategy and thought on where you want to be and how you should get there. It’s this “take it slowly and steady” pace of gameplay that really makes the game stand out amongst all the other shooters out there.

Graphically the game is no slouch either. Loads of detail have gone into the backgrounds and sprites as well as having some very nice intermission screens that wouldn’t look out of place on a Saturn or PlayStation game. Audio is fantastic too. Fitting atmospheric tunes throughout as well as one of the greatest ending themes found on a Super Famicom game. It’s right up there with the ending theme from Contra for movie style.

Assault Suits Valken isn’t for everyone but if you seriously love your platform shooters, you’ll love this.  It was a great game to play in 1992 and it’s still a great game to play now in 2024, 32 years after its release.
