Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Shogo: Mobile Armor Division is a First-Person Shooter developed and published by Monolith Productions in 1998. It was notable for being the first game to use the Lithtech Game Engine, which (through various upgrades and tinkering naturally) would later be used to develop other noted Monolith titles such as No One Lives Forever, F.E.A.R., and even the recent Mordor titles. While the game was American-made, its main influence was the Humongous Mecha genre of anime and manga, especially Real Robot series such as Gundam, Patlabor, and Appleseed.The story follows Sanjuro Makabe, a commander in the United Corporate Authority army, in the war for planet Cronus and its Applied Phlebotinum, called Kato, which makes Faster-Than-Light Travel possible and can be used as a weapon. By the time the game begins, Sanjuro has already lost his brother Toshiro, girlfriend Kura, and friend Baku to an attack by a terrorist group called the Fallen. Sanjuro's commanding officer, Admiral Nathaniel Akkaraju (who also happens to be Kura's father) gives him the assignment of infiltrating the Fallen-controlled city of Avernus and assassinating their leader, Gabriel. However, as events unfold around Sanjuro and he becomes entangled in the agendas of multiple factions and individuals, he suspects that there is more to the war than meets the eye. It goes From Bad to Worse from there...Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Gameplay-wise, Shogo features levels where Sanjuro is on foot as well as missions where he pilots one of four Humongous Mecha, which run the gamut from Fragile Speedster to Mighty Glacier. However, the mecha levels play just like a standard on-foot First-Person Shooter, just on a larger scale and different weapons (and a "vehicle mode" which lets the mecha travel faster at the expense of being unable to fire). The game is notable for allowing both the player and enemies to inflict critical hits on each other, which both inflict extra damage and restore the attacker's health.Shogo was promoted by Monolith as one of the first First-Person Shooter games to focus heavily on story instead of just mindless blasting, and indeed there is quite a lot of dialogue in the game as well as a point near the end where the story progression and final set of levels are determined by a choice the player makes. Unfortunately for Monolith, a certain other game, also featuring an immersive story, came out a month and a half later and most people promptly lost interest in Shogo, effectively killing off both planned expansion packs and any chance for a sequel (although the main story was wrapped up pretty well, so follow-up games may not have been strictly necessary). The game was later rereleased by GOG Dot Com.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); }) | |

Motion-Capture Mecha | |
| Shogo: Mobile Armor Division / Videogame / int_11185d9 | comment |
Motion Capture Mecha: Sanjuro on foot and in the mecha are both identical in terms of gameplay. All of the mecha, even the supposedly heavy ones, are incredibly agile and can hop around with ease. Mechs tend to have a little more survivability than on foot, especially if you have the heavy armored MCA. However, a direct hit from explosive weapons such as the Spider Mine or the Red Riot WILL end you, no matter what MCA you are using. | |

| Shogo: Mobile Armor Division / Videogame / int_12a22bd8 | comment |
Katanas Are Just Better: The Akuma gets a katana as its melee weapon. It's also the most damaging melee weapon (able to deal a One-Hit Kill to even undamaged MCAs in multiplayer). Sanjuro himself uses a Tanto as his melee weapon during the on foot segments. | |

Evil vs. Evil: The major conflict between the CMC, the Fallen, and Shogo Industries for control of Cronus. The UCA is mostly good but can become the antagonist in one route when Admiral Akkaraju becomes Unwitting Pawn to Ryo and plans on using the Kato Cannon to destroy Avernus to eliminate the Fallen. | |

Multiple Endings: Two. In one, you help the Fallen take control of Cronus. In the other, you defeat the Fallen. Unusually, neither ending is really considered the "good" or "bad" ending, although the one where you fight the Fallen has a somewhat better outcome. | |

David Versus Goliath | |

David vs. Goliath: Two missions have you face off against an MCA while on foot. In one, you can hide in a tunnel to shoot it down, in the other, you're in a wide-open hallway as it chases you. If you fight the Fallen, the final boss is Gabriel driving a unique super MCA that's more than 2 to 3 times as tall as a regular one. | |

Heh Heh, You Said "X" | |
| Shogo: Mobile Armor Division / Videogame / int_1e5df5 | comment |
Heh Heh, You Said "X": At one point Sanjuro has to take a side trip to rescue a cat so a lady will turn off her electric fence and let him through. Some squatters were going to eat the cat. When he explains this to Kura over the radio this trope occurs. (May take you a couple of tries to figure it out.) Sanjuro gets back at her later on, though. And again, at the very end, after siding with the Fallen, fighting through the Leviathan, and killing Ryo | |

Knight in Sour Armor | |
| Shogo: Mobile Armor Division / Videogame / int_21f7ff0f | comment |
Knight In Sour Armor: The loss of Kura, Toshiro and Baku has turned Sanjuro into a bitter man that would sooner blow away any threat in his path than negotiate typically, and is more than a bit dismissive of Admiral Akkaraju. This doesn't stop him from trying to do the right thing. | |

Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Sanjuro is crass, rude, perverted, and not a particularly nice person to anyone but his love interests and, after some mutual trust is earned, Hank. He can also murder civilians on Chronus indiscriminately. He's still trying to save the populace and everyone he knows from getting murdered by a mass conspiracy courtesy of Shogo, or by the forces of the Fallen or even potentially his own allies. | |

Nice, Mean, and In-Between | |
| Shogo: Mobile Armor Division / Videogame / int_5e965a73 | comment |
Nice Mean And Inbetween: Of the three main characters, Sanjuro is the mean (somewhat unusually, given he's the Player Character) being both perverted and pretty rude most of the time (although he's not really a bad guy) Kathryn is the nice (a long with being the most reasonable person in general. and Kura is the in-between, she's a good person, but is kind of a pervert as well, and doesn't hesitate from making suggestive comments to Sanjuro despite knowing that her sister Kathryn (who was dating him before he realized Kura was still alive) can hear everything she says. | |

Nintendo Hard: Most on-foot enemies go down real fast, as do the majority of MCA types (but not all). Unfortunately, you do too; a single ambush by rounding a corner can deal insane amounts of damage if you're not careful. And then Shogo Troops start showing up. The enemies are really nasty. They can Critical Hit you as well, making it a nightmare if you're unlucky; a shotgun at point-blank will kill you instantly as well direct explosions on-foot, so you can be sure that the later enemies just happen to have lots of shotguns and grenade/rocket launchers - and waiting around corners to one-shot you. And if you encounter an MCA on-foot? They can turn you into pulp by stepping on you and pretty much always carry explosives. | |

Armor Is Useless | |
| Shogo: Mobile Armor Division / Videogame / int_638b65bc | comment |
Armor Is Useless: The enemies come in many varieties; some sporting basic uniforms, others use power armor, and still others pilot ten foot tall mini-mecha. While the better armored opponents have more health, the weapons do enough damage that a shotgun blast or a short burst of automatic fire kills them all equally fast. The same applies to you, though. | |

Not only does he have a portrait that makes him look untrustworthy as hell, but he's got a bit of a snide tone that makes him seem self-important and even Sanjuro doesn't trust him, but he and the player have no choice other than to do what he asks. Naturally, he backstabs you and leaves you to die not even ten seconds after you do it, before revealing himself to be the Big Bad in short time and murdering Hank just to be a prick along the way. | |

BFG | |
| Shogo: Mobile Armor Division / Videogame / int_8344209e | comment |
BFG: An anime-themed, mecha-based, first person shooter. Shogo has this trope in spades, with numerous guns being enormous even for the MCA carrying them. Best examples being: The Bullgut, a quad-rocket launcher. The Juggernaut, an artillery piece converted into a conventional gun. The Shredder, the Gatling Good version of the Juggernaut. The Red Riot. A weapon so destructive it has a song named after it, with the firepower of a small nuke. An unnamed cannon wielded by The Dragon, the size of the mecha carrying it and used to wreck an underground tunnel with one shot. This one actually uses an upscaled Juggernaut third-person skin. | |

The MCAs all have a baton as a melee weapon, which is basically useless: There's no shortage of ammunition for your various artillery pieces, and you take damage from enemy vehicles and MCAs if you're too close when they explode. | |

| Shogo: Mobile Armor Division / Videogame / int_940a5958 | comment |
Artificial Stupidity: Don't expect allies to follow you or fight very well. They'll shoot you if you get in the way, and this is especially prone by shotgun from Kura. Enemies don't really fair much better, though; they can't take cover or use any sort of tactics, just standing in place or running at you and firing wildly. The result is that they can very much kill themselves with their explosives. At least one enemy ambush using the Pulse Grenades can cause the player to dodge out of the way, have the grenade come back and gib themselves, and the MCA fight with Uziel can have him defeat himself by constantly blasting the floor beneath his feet trying to shoot you through solid walls. | |

Shotguns Are Just Better | |
| Shogo: Mobile Armor Division / Videogame / int_96ecc67e | comment |
Shotguns Are Just Better: They're powerful enough to one-shot Sanjuro at close range, regardless of armor and health levels. Naturally, many enemies in cramped maps will carry them. This works both ways, though; two shots can kill armored troops at medium range and just one at close range, making it a valuable weapon next to the automatics aside from its sluggish pump-action. | |

Friendly Fireproof: Averted completely. The few levels were you have allies you can kill them in one shot. If you position yourself correctly it's quite possible to have the enemy kill themselves with explosive weapons. And of course, getting in an armed ally's way won't stop them whatsoever from cutting a path through you just to kill an enemy, making the few Escort Mission levels even more difficult. Just ask the shotgun-toting Kura. | |

It's Personal: Ryo has it out for Sanjuro due to the latter being a Spanner in the Works towards his corporate schemes, especially with the assassination of Ivan, previous head of the CMC. When Sanjuro accidentally gets involved in foiling even more of his machinations, Ryo intentionally manipulates him and then tries to screw him over at every possible turn, such as selling out Kura to the CMC and personally executing Hank in front of Sanjuro. That last act causes Sanjuro to finally invoke this trope himself, and kill off Ryo as the final fight of both story paths. | |

Karma Houdini: Subverted with Admiral Akkaraju in the ending where you side with the fallen. Assuming you manage to shut down the Kato cannon before it fires he just yells some insults and runs away, seemingly escaping. Once you get to the ending, however, it reveals he was caught and tried for war crimes. | |

Mega-Corp: Shogo Industries as well Armacham Technology Corporation. Strongly implied to be the same Armacham that appears in F.E.A.R.. There is also Andra Biomechanics (the third founding corporation for the UCA, and apparently a backer for the Cronian Mining Consortium), though they don't play as large a part in the storyline as Shogo (and unlike Armacham doesn't show up in another franchise). | |

| Shogo: Mobile Armor Division / Videogame / int_ac7b87df | comment |
Off-Model: Between the box art and opening artwork that seems to have an external artist, the official artwork for every character being rather all over the place, the in-game dialogue portraits that are way more detailed and yet look like they have a different art style per character, and the actual character models being pretty damn fugly, no one looks very consistent beyond their base design idea. The best example is Sanjuro himself, as none of his designs seem to match up whatsoever between all three, and his various artwork can't even decide if he's got black or blue hair. | |

You can find the cat for her and she opens the gate (and as an extra reward, you get a bonus superhealth). Or you can kill her and her husband and open the gate yourself. The game pays no further attention to the consequences of gunning down a random woman. | |

Mêlée à Trois | |
| Shogo: Mobile Armor Division / Videogame / int_c6695a49 | comment |
Mêlée à Trois: The different enemy factions will fight each other as well as the player; however, they normally aren't encountered in the same area. The only way to see this happening is on certain maps controlled by one faction, which are attacked by another faction once the player triggers an objective. On those maps, you have to run to the objective without killing most of the enemies, so they'll still be around when the new enemies from a rival faction get spawned in. | |

Shout Out: A few to its anime roots. A poster at the start of the game featuring an obvious Expy of Rei Ayanami with a logo reading "CURV". The doll you have to find to attract the gate lady's cat is a Captain Claw doll. You can even squeeze it to make it say "Magic Claw!". Officers with quarters near Sanjuro's include: R. Hunter, M. Kusanagi, I. Dyson, N. Izumi and A. Shinohara. Silky Doll Lingerie billboard ads. Another billboard for a "Kawasuki" motorbike that looks like the ones in AKIRA. There are also a couple of references to Monolith's earlier Blood: comic books with Caleb on them and the caption "Who is Caleb?" can be found in some levels, and sometimes the enemy soldiers will speak a few lines in the weird Cultist language. | |

| Shogo: Mobile Armor Division / Videogame / int_cc7fae30 | comment |
Outside-Context Problem: The whole reason the Fallen exist to fend off the UCA and Ryo's Shogo Industries? Cothineal, a Starfish Alien that happens to apparently be the source of the highly valuable Kato energy both factions seek, as it made Toshiro and Baku into the Brainwashed and Crazy Gabriel and Uziel respectively to protect the planet. No one really seems to be too concerned about a sentient alien at large, though, and focus more on Gabriel and Ryo. | |

Unfortunately, if your escort happens to be armed, there's nothing stopping them from blasting and likely killing you. And since they follow behind you while an enemy's likely to be infront, you effectively have to account for this with almost every fight or else die instantly from being shot in the back. | |

Enemies don't really fair much better, though; they can't take cover or use any sort of tactics, just standing in place or running at you and firing wildly. The result is that they can very much kill themselves with their explosives. At least one enemy ambush using the Pulse Grenades can cause the player to dodge out of the way, have the grenade come back and gib themselves, and the MCA fight with Uziel can have him defeat himself by constantly blasting the floor beneath his feet trying to shoot you through solid walls. | |

His Ace Custom has quite a lot of health, but otherwise it's a standard enemy MCA and dies quite easily. After you destroy his MCA, he tries to fight you on foot. While you're still in a MCA. | |

Made of Explodium: If so much as one thing is destructible in the MCA levels, odds are it's going to blow up. And if there's a bunch of vehicles are around and missiles are flying about, it's not implausible for an entire city block to be filled with explosions back to back. This is also why you don't want to melee enemy MCAs, since they'll blow up in your face. | |

| Shogo: Mobile Armor Division / Videogame / int_e8e0a952 | comment |
Obvious Beta: Bits of story are missing and made up for with large exposition blocks between levels, various assets are particularly unpolished (especially with Uziel/Baku, who wields a scaled-up Juggernaut, blurry textures and all), bugs persist throughout the entire game, the balance is extremely broken and filled with Fake Difficulty, and other numerous problems. As a result, Shogo feels more like you're playing an unfinished product than it probably should. Considering this game predated Blood II by only a month during a rather tight time for Monolith and even shared the same engine, it's not hard to see why. | |

Goldfish Poop Gang: Samantha Sternberg. a hot-headed female mech pilot who constantly appears out of nowhere, screaming that she'll kick Sanjuro's ass, only to be quickly dealt with with no trouble at all, yet somehow manages to survive every encounter. Near the end of the game, however, you have to face her on foot while she's in a mecha. | |

Script Breaking | |
| Shogo: Mobile Armor Division / Videogame / int_f75c8193 | comment |
Script Breaking: Upon entering an underground tunnel, a cutscene is triggered where an enemy appears, runs off, and causes the tunnel to cave in by exploding it. However, careful examination of said tunnel reveals the Monolith logo, which when shot causes the same explosion, making the following cutscene look totally wrong as a result. | |

Video Game Cruelty Potential | |
| Shogo: Mobile Armor Division / Videogame / int_f87c42d4 | comment |
Video Game Cruelty Potential: Occasionally you can come across civilians in the world who either just go about their daily routine or cower from nearby gunfire. There's basically nothing stopping you from murdering them all, and in one case you can avert Infant Immortality personally. This can even be used to skip a Side Quest by just murdering the quest giver and her husband. No one ever mentions this afterwards, and the same violence can even be applied towards allied soldiers when on a mission (though they might try to fight back). | |

Video Game Cruelty Punishment | |
| Shogo: Mobile Armor Division / Videogame / int_fcd993bd | comment |
Video Game Cruelty Punishment: On the other hand, murdering anyone on your ship after the prologue mission ends will result in being branded a traitor, all game progression halted, and every single Elite Mook on the ship out to kill you. Die or reload a save, you have to restart either way. | |

Death Seeker | |
| Shogo: Mobile Armor Division / Videogame / int_fff371b4 | comment |
Death Seeker: Supposedly Sanjuro, being the lone and disgraced survivor of the disasterous mission in the backstory. He's a bit too cheerful and sarcastic than would be expected. | |
