Tactical Armor Custom: Gasaraki is a mecha-based game for PlayStation inspired by the anime series Gasaraki. Players control tactical mechs in a near-future setting shaped by a resource called Mile One. The story follows Yuushiro Gowa, who pilots a Tactical Armor during a conflict reminiscent of the Gulf War. Players assemble a team, select mechs and weapons, and complete missions against enemy forces, often under time constraints.
Tactical Armor Custom Gasaraki is a game based on the anime Gasaraki. Gasaraki is a mecha anime television series produced by Sunrise. It was written by Ryousuke Takahashi, who also created the series with Sunrise and shared directorial duties with Goro Taniguchi.
The series is marked by an exceptionally detailed and convincing treatment of mecha design and operation, albeit within the context of the alternate reality of the story. Set in the near-future (at the time of release), a little-understood form of matter known as `Mile One` allows a powerful and influential Japanese family, the Gowa, to produce a bipedal weapon which they refer to as a Tactical Armor (TA).
At this time a war breaks out between the US and the fictional Middle East country of Belgistan, much like the Gulf War. When US military forces attempt to seize the capital they are systematically wiped out by what appear to be rival TAs. The Gowa Family seizes this opportunity to demonstrate their weapon system, and civilian pilot Yuushiro Gowa and the military squad to which he is attached are deployed to Belgistan. There, he meets rival TA pilot Miharu, with whom he seems to share a deep spiritual bond.
In the game the player can choose 3 different members of the team to make the assault group for each mission, and he can choose also what mecha and what weapon each member will use. The gameplay is about moving the mechas in the missing area and defeat the enemies that are around there. Some missions got a time limit.
