Evaluation
GIGANTIC ARMY is a self-contained retro mech shooter that launched on March 6, 2014 as a complete product. The store description presents a fixed feature set — six stages, twelve bosses, four difficulty modes, and a customizable loadout — with no mention of DLC, expansions, seasons, or post-launch content plans. There are no DLC listings of any kind.
The developer news feed for this game is essentially a bulletin board for the publisher (Henteko Doujin) and developer (ASTRO PORT) to announce other games in their catalog — titles like MECHBLAZE, Armored Lab Force VULVEHICLES, ZANGEKI WARP, WOLFLAME, and Revolgear Zero. None of these posts address GIGANTIC ARMY's development; they are simply cross-promotions. The most recent post (February 18, 2026) is a launch announcement for an entirely separate game, Revolgear Zero, paired with a sitewide publisher sale.
GIGANTIC ARMY launched as a finished, standalone product with no post-launch content cycle ever established. It shipped complete and has remained so.

Side-scrolling mech-shooting bad-assery is BACK!
GIGANTIC ARMY is a heartfelt homage to 16-bit era mech shooters such as Cybernator / Assault Suits Valken, Metal Warriors, and Front Mission: Gun Hazard, developed by the studio behind the acclaimed shooter SATAZIUS.
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.
Features:
• Six stages of intense mech-shooting action!
• Twelve mid and end level bosses of gargantuan proportions to take down!
• Four difficulty modes from ‘Easy’ to ‘Insane’ to cater for all skill levels!
• Customizable weapons load-out to suit your play style!
• Dash, thrusters and shield give your mech satisfying maneuverability and defensive options!
• Rebalanced gameplay from the original Japanese version!
• 42 achievements!
• Steam Trading Cards!
• Linux Version!
• Bonus retro packaging PDF assets to create your own physical version!
