Simple DS Vol.18: The Soukou Kihei Gun Ground

D3 Publisher borrows a page from the Assaults Suits Valken games and drops players into a pudgy mech that's armed with guns and a powerful punch. In addition to its offensive capabilities, the mech can also jump and activate its boosters to soar over short distances. The game is played in typical platform-action style where the mech is moved from left to right across each level. When enemies appear, fire away with your unlimited artillery or get up close and punch away. There's a block move that's activated by pressing the R-Trigger but it only halves the amount of damage from an enemy attack. You'll still lose health when the mech's guard is up so it's wise to run and gun instead of standing pat.
