''Cybattler'' is a 1993 Mecha-themed action game made by Creator/{{Jaleco}} for the arcades.
Released in the early 90s, back when giant robots and spaceship shooters in the VerticalScrollingShooter format are both in the hype, ''Cybattler'' is Jaleco's attempts at spicing up the format a little; instead of a spaceship, you're in control of a giant robot, a Cybattler prototype called the Blanche. Various enemy Cybattlers are causing problems attacking countries across the world, and it's you against multiple rogue Cybattlers out there.
It's worth noting that unlike other vertical-scrolling games of it's kind, where your default equipment are normally firearms, the Blanche's default weapon is instead a LaserBlade, which the game allows you to hack, slash, slice and dice from eight octogonal directions (unlike other similar games where you're only allowed to shoot right ahead). Laser cannons and missile launchers ''are'' available, but as backup weapons.
----
!! Cybattler contains examples of:
* AnArmAndALeg: Gigas, the HumongousMecha boss of stage 4, will repeatedly lash out at Blanche via ExtendableArms, only to lose it's limbs as it takes damage. Once you hack off both of it's appendages Gigas will rely entirely on that ChestBlaster until it's destroyed.
* AsteroidThicket: The very first stage is set within a SpaceBase belonging to the enemy forces, right smack in the middle of an asterid field. Where the Blanche will spend much of the stage slicking up enemy mooks as well as stray asteroids which can collide and damage him.
* BattleshipRaid: The second stage, "Warship", which have you piloting the Blanche through a Cybattler vessel and slashing your way through it's defenses, damaging it's exterior enough until you forced a way in.
* BewareMyStingerTail: Sikamas, the scorpion-like robot boss of "Non-Aggression Zone" havce a mechanical ''[[ShockAndAwe electrified]]'' tail which it uses to perform a TailSlap on Blanche. It can even form circles around Blanch like a PrehensileTail.
* DeadlyWalls: Levels leading into interiors of spaceships or space stations tends to have narrow walls that the Blanche could crash on contact.
* HalfTheManHeUsedToBe: Inevitable since the Blanche's main weapon is a laser sword; several humanoid enemies will split diagonally into half if killed by a slashing attack.
* LaserBlade: The Blanche's default weapon, whivh you use to slice and dice through multiple enemies throughout.
* PoweredArmor: The titular Cybattler units, which are powered mecha suits worn by human operators. You're controlling one called Blanche, and fending off an invasion whose ranks consists of rogue Cybattlers.
* PowerPincers: Used by Grifforn, the second boss, who can extend them all across the screen to reach the Blanche and even fire them RocketPunch-style before retracting them.
* RedIsHeroic: The Blanche is coated in red-and-white armour, and the heroic mecha you're piloting for the entirety of the game. None of the mooks or bosses have any red on their armour, to further hammer the point in.
* SequentialBoss: The Hell Golem, who comes in three forms - α, β and τ, showing up in three consecutive areas where it needs to be defeated thrice. You fight it just as it's about to invade earth, too, with it's final τ form fought above the Alps.
* SpaceMines: The third level, "Non-Aggression Zone" is set in an outer space minefield.
* SwordAndGun: Laser cannon and laser sword, to be precise.
* AWinnerIsYou: Unsurprisingly, since this is an old Jaleco title.
