E.X. Troopers is a spin-off title to Capcom's Lost Planet series. Like the main series, it takes place on the thawing ice planet of E.D.N. III. Yet, even one single glance at the game is enough to tell you that this is not Lost Planet as you've seen it before. Instead it's a manga-style, flashy, over-the-top story of a boy and his giant robot. And while the deviations from its parent series are extreme (for better or for worse), there is plenty to love in E.X. Troopers.
Took the development team seven years to release their favourite game fully translated for gamers worldwide.
The PlayStation 4 took a bit to get settled in Japan, but now that it has, its predecessor is getting its chance to ride into the sunset. Of course, that's a really great time to import some of its games for cheap! Read on for Michibiku's guide to the best titles to grab for the platform.
Michibiku's Graham Russell and Jenni Lada, along with Andrew Passafiume, play E.X. Troopers.
Bit miffed that as a PS3 title there's a painfully obvious level of under utilization of hardware as shown in gameplay.
I heard some rumors, that a ps vita version is also in development.
