Metal Wolf Chaos XD
The country is in peril as President Michael Wilson defends the nation against a full-scale rebellion led by Vice-President Richard Hawk and the mechanized legions he commands. As the 47th President of the United States, it is your sworn duty to take your country back by any means necessary and end this unjust coup d'etat! Battle in your advanced mech – armed to the teeth – across iconic American landscapes including the Brooklyn Bridge, the Grand Canyon, and the front steps of the White House. FromSoftware originally released Metal Wolf Chaos in December 2004, appearing exclusively on the original Xbox and only in Japan. The game went on to become somewhat of a legend as it was hard to acquire and even harder to play outside of Japan with most fans experience of the game through YouTube videos and the occasional screenshot. Devolver Digital and FromSoftware have partnered together with developer General Arcade to modernize Metal Wolf Chaos with updates to the game including upgraded visual fidelity, refined controls and gameplay, a new save system, and 4K + 16:9 support for modern displays.

This is probably the best FromSoftware game. I don't care what you have to say about Dark Souls or Elden Ring. This game is pure cheese. It is utterly ridiculous and I love it!
It is the perfect Japanese satire of American patriotism. Loads of explosions, corny one-liners, and over-the-top shenanigans.
Play this game.

This is a game that truly believes in its own justice. Could not recommend any game more, why? Because I am the President of these great United States of America. Let's Party!

saw this game on fromsoft's game and realized it was the only thing on here i haven't played by them, so i got a key for like $12 and said fuck it, looks fun. turns out, this is top 5 funniest games i've played. the graphics/gameplay do feel pretty dated, as it's a remaster tho. either way, the story is cool, the dialogue is hilarious and the missions are actually engaging and lots of fun. i thought it would be geared more towards what armored core is like and it definitely shares some similarities but only a japanese game studio would make an american game...but actually funny and fun asf. i highly recommend this if you like action games/memes and just all around want some good laughs for 5-10 hours worth of a playthrough!

I suffered a stroke during the first hour of playing this. It didn't get any better after that.

Absolute FROMSOFWARE Masterpiece, I would like to thank the journalist of multiplayer.it and twitcher Pregianza for making me discover this game, i hope i a sequel one day. The game is very funny, The only flows are absence of checkpoint (in some part is frustrating) and the 30 fps lock, the rest for a 2004 game is perfect.

This game is awesome until the last boss, he might be the jankiest thing ever. Good experience overall and worth it for the inspired voice acting and writing. And the reason is, I am the president of the United States of America.

This is a pretty short and sweet mecha action game that feels simultaneously like it's taking itself seriously and not seriously enough. The dialogue is oozing with about as much cheese as your average fast food burger joint, and reeks of absurdity the likes of which could only have come from a dev team like '04 FromSoft aiming to appeal to an American market (it even launched on the original XBox, which was a retail behemoth in America - now how did it never get localized again?!).
Underneath the unabashed Americana is a surprisingly expansive and complex romp for what it is - tons of weapon options spanning across multiple categories and variations of specific weapon types, completion incentives, and TOOOONS of goodies in each level that you won't really notice unless you're turning each individual area upside down. Some of the bosses and missions can be REALLY obnoxious though, which I guess is kinda unavoidable - there's usually gotta be a stinker or two (or three...) somewhere.
It only took me two days of playing to go from start to finish, but I didn't unlock everything (not even half of everything as far as I can tell) so depending on how you like to play your video games, it might take you a good longer playtime until you've had your fill. It IS a bit short though, so you may want to wait for a sale if you aren't chomping at the bit to play it no matter what. Still worth checking out if you're at all interested in giant robots, high octane action games, incredibly cheesy writing, and/or FromSoft's older catalog of titles!
