Item Description

Nobody expected the Saturn to host the mech sim that PC owners would envy. Then Game Arts released GunGriffon in 1996 and put players inside the cockpit of an Armored Walking Gun System, a towering two-legged war machine built on a grounded, almost military-hardware design philosophy. Electronic Gaming Monthly made it Game of the Month, and reviewer Dan Hsu called it the most exciting mech sim he had ever played, PC games included.

The war is set in 2015 (the Japanese release carried the subtitle The Eurasian Conflict), and it unfolds in first person across missions that keep shifting terrain, lighting, difficulty and tactical approach. Your machine walks with real weight, and its ability to hover above the battlefield adds a vertical layer to every engagement, so closing distance on enemy armor or breaking line of sight becomes a matter of judgment rather than reflex. Reviewers praised the responsive controls and the carefully pitched difficulty: charge in carelessly and the battlefield punishes you fast, play it like a commander and the missions open up.

Part of the appeal is how different it feels from the anime robot games of its day. There are no transforming super robots and no screen-filling special moves. The walking gun systems read like plausible next-generation tanks with legs, and the game asks you to think about cover, terrain and firing angles the way a vehicle simulator would. Sega Saturn Magazine went as far as calling it one of the best giant robot games ever made.

GunGriffon launched a series that ran from a Japan-only Saturn sequel, GunGriffon II, to Gungriffon Blaze on PlayStation 2 and Gungriffon: Allied Strike on Xbox. Link-cable multiplayer was planned for this first game and cut, which leaves it a focused solo campaign and the purest version of Game Arts' original idea. It is the Saturn showing a deliberate, grown-up side, and the place to start if heavy armor appeals more than flashy robots.
