Armada – Sega Dreamcast shmup/RPG hybrid
Posted by John as Shmups
This is some gameplay footage from Armada, a Dreamcast shmup/RPG hybrid made by Metro3d.
It’s early in the game, so my character is not a very high level yet. I wander to a boss who is still too powerful to defeat, then head to an enemy infested town who are much higher levels than I am, and get properly wasted.
Armada is a shmup at it’s core, but has the most RPG elements I’ve seen in a hybrid game so far. You can level up, buy items, talk to characters, form teams (4 players local plus NPCs), and go on quests.
Armada is an interesting concept, and would be great for current generation consoles with online functions.

i finally leveled up to 36. wow does it take a long time. and for anyone who doesnt know, once u get up to that level go to the secret base (-29000) (31000) and buy the armada destroyer. very good. kills armada in a few hits with any level ship with any level armada. oh and u can get anything from a planet by holding Y to scan then press UP to leave, scans everything on the level. easy to get ur new mission plus to get every credit u might have missed

Armada Online was made by an independent duo of game developers who bought out the intellectual property.
Idiot. It is made …
Idiot. It is made by the original Armada devs in the way they really wanted to make Armada yet couldn’t due to console limitations. Right now it’s still early in development, so not much content is available. The entire story driven quests and plot arcs and all the good stuff will come piece by piece.
Don’t bother. It …
Don’t bother. It sucks. It’s basically RO with an Armada skin.

i cant wrap my brain around the direction they took armada with armada online… thats not armada. I don’t know what that is. I loved armada and was looking forward to armada 2.

this looks pretty interesting, though the lack of music is a little bit off-putting for me.
Armada is a great …
Armada is a great concept but gets real boring real fast. Most missions are either “kill the boss” or “transport this to here”. And general combat isn’t very challenging – basically if your level is close enough you can win. A fixed screen combat system might have helped that….
Interesting game. …
Interesting game. It’s always a challenge to find a balance between SHMUP and RPG.
