Megaton Musashi is a cooperative mecha game where you control robots and work together in online battles against tough bosses sent by alien forces. Using these giant robots that are the fruit of all that human technology has to offer, work together with your allies and defeat the invading aliens.

Use each robot’s unique capabilities to attack, defend, heal, and strategize together to defeat the enemy. During battles, you’ll be able to hear the characters converse during these life-or-death scenarios.

Musashi

‘Musashi’ is the world’s strongest giant robot, serving as the epitome of Earth technology. It’s 60 meters tall, and is a combination robot made of three machines.

Apart from regular weaponry like the Photon Revolver, it has a giant Diffusion Blaster in its chest that is its ace in the hole.

Gaudia

A support-type robot that fits the archetype of a rogue, and prefers to attack from a distance.

Sparkman

Each robot can be customized with various parts. Create your own personal giant robot!

Story – The world ends in 2118…

In 2118, an alien force known as the Doractors attack Earth, and seize control of the planet within days. The Earth is left in an incomplete donut-like shape, and as a hive for its new inhabitants. Humankind escapes to the Shelter, a facility boasting immense defensive capabilities, and plan their counter-offense to take back the planet.

The last hope of humanity. The power to defeat the aliens’ giant machines of war. Our hopes lie with ‘Musashi’, the Megaton-level giant robot.

Pilots

In order to retake Earth, control of the giant robots were entrusted to three Megaton-level problem children…

Teru Asami (CV: Soma Saito)

A cold and calculating narcissist with top grades. He’s always deathly calm, and has an impenetrable front.

Ryuugo Hijikata (CV: Shunsuke Takeuchi)

A short-tempered, hot-blooded young man who’s like a delinquent leader. He’s quick to fight, but does have a side to him where he’s good at looking after others.
