It seems like 2015 will be the year of the Mechas. I mean, we already got epic titles such as “MechWarrior Online“, “Titan Fall”  and “Mecha Trigger” to enjoy at the moment.

And more awesome Mecha games is in the making as well (like “Heavy Gear Assault” for example). I also found out about this really cool sidescrolling Mecha action/arcade game called “Gigantic Army” (from the makers of “Armed Seven and “Satazius).

And i have to say that the devs (ASTRO PORT) has done really well with “Gigantic Army”.  So it´s most definitely a must play if you´re a Mecha fan (the game made me think about the good Ol´”Macross” days). And guess what?

You can buy “Gigantic Army” via Steam for 5,99 Euro! (Windows, MAC OS and Linux OS).

About Gigantic Army:
It is the 21st century and Earth is at war with the Ramulons – an alien race determined to stop humanity’s advance into space. Mankind’s war against the Ramulons has reached the planet Ramulon itself and it is now down to YOU to pilot the ‘GMR-34 SALADIN’ – a Manned Combat Robot – and take on the Ramulon army.

Customize your arsenal of explosive, projectile and plasma weapons, and combine them with melee attacks, thrusters and shield to take the fight to the enemy and end the conflict! GIGANTIC ARMY boasts awesome retro arcade stylings, slick animation, superbly detailed character and stage design, and addictively frenetic game play.
