Developed by Capcom in 1995, Cyberbots: Fullmetal Madness is an explosive arcade fighting game where players pilot massive mechs known as Variant Armors (VAs). Instead of choosing a standard fighter, you select a pilot and pair them with one of several distinct VAs, each offering unique mobility, weaponry, and playstyles. With its incredibly detailed sprite art and fast-paced mechanical combat, it stands out as one of the most distinctive 2D fighters of the era.
How to play
Your objective is to defeat rival pilots in one-on-one combat, depleting their armor gauge to win the round. The game uses a four-button layout: two melee attacks, a weapon attack, and a boost. In the browser emulator, use Shift to insert coins and Enter to start. Move your mech with the arrow keys, and use Z, X, C, and A for your main attacks and boost actions.
Tips
- Master the Boost system: The Boost button provides immense mobility, letting you dash and hover across the arena. Keep a close eye on your boost meterโif it overheats, your mech will be temporarily disabled and wide open to attacks.
- Unleash Cyber EX moves: Fill your power gauge by dealing and taking damage, or by manually charging it when you have a safe moment. Once maxed out, you can execute a devastating Super attack to turn the tide of the battle.
