The Premise Of Cybernator
Cybernator follows Jake Brain, a mech pilot fighting in a worldwide war. You control a four-story tall mecha with slow movement. While normal walking is slow, the developers compensate for this with the dash feature. You’re also able to jump. If you keep the jump button held, the mecha can fly for a short period. The mech comes equipped with a cannon and you also have access to a melee attack. You can acquire other weapons by collecting power-ups. These powerups provide the Laser Beam and the Homing Missile. A level in Cybernator generally are very large area that can be navigated with the help of an onscreen minimap. In certain stages, the mecha is given an upgrade that allows it to fly freely which changes the gameplay.
The Main Character Of Cybernator
Jake Brain is the main character of Cybernator as the game roughly follows him and his platoon. He is a soldier drafted into the Pacific States Marine Corps and pilots a Federation Assault Suit, the mech you control. Jake states he only fights because he is a soldier and he isn’t concerned with patriotism or politics.
