Game Description

Battlecorps drops you into the cockpit of a towering mechanized war machine in a hostile future where a deep-space mining operation has spiraled into chaos. A rogue AI has seized control of the planet, mobilizing an army of automated defenses and deadly drones. Your mission: battle through six treacherous zones, each packed with environmental hazards, enemy strongholds, and heavy resistance. Presented in a gritty first-person view, the game emphasizes methodical pacing, firepower management, and terrain navigation across hostile alien landscapes.

Featuring massive explosions, towering mechanical enemies, and haunting industrial backdrops, Battlecorps takes full advantage of the Sega CD's scaling effects and immersive sound design. Whether dodging incoming missiles or navigating narrow pathways through glacier caves and sea beds, every mission is a test of reflexes and resolve. With no save system or continues, the tension never lets up—only the most focused pilots will survive the full campaign.

Gameplay Features

• Operate a heavily armed mech with access to a powerful arsenal including cannons, flamethrowers, and homing missiles
• First-person perspective with real-time sprite scaling to simulate immersive 3D terrain
• Six diverse levels across glacial tunnels, alien forests, deep-sea paths, and more
• FMV mission briefings and atmospheric audio build a cinematic tone throughout the campaign
• Use recharge points to refuel and repair mid-mission, adding a layer of tactical strategy

Historical Trivia or Fun Fact

Battlecorps was developed by Core Design using the same engine that powered their earlier title, AH‑3 Thunderstrike. Although overshadowed at launch by flashier arcade ports, it has since earned a cult following for its gritty mech combat and technical ambition. Notably, it served as a stepping stone for Core Design’s later evolution into 32-bit development, paving the way for the studio’s breakthrough with Tomb Raider on the PlayStation and Saturn.
