Battlecorps

Battlecorps involves a walking robot in a variety of terrain, armed with a large number of different weapons. Player characters include kickboxing specialist Becky Ojo, cyborg Dika "A" Jang, and special forces soldier Jack Cutter. The game is set in the year 2085 on the mining planet Mandelbrot's World.

Battlecorps was developed by British studio Core Design. The game's staff consisted of programmer and lead designer Jonathan Hilliard; graphic artist Jason Gee; product manager Guy Miller; and producer Jeremy Heath-Smith. Gee and Miller also contributed to the design and story. The music was composed by Martin Iveson with live guitar solos provided by Anthony Wheeldon.

Miller lent his recorded voice to the start of the game's missions. Battlecorps was created simultaneously with Core Design's Soulstar, both being Sega CD projects built off the custom technology from the company's previous title AH-3 Thunderstrike. The project began as a series of pencil sketches. Once the mech shooter concept was established, the game's initial environment was crafted using the AH-3 Thunderstrike engine.

Electronic Gaming Monthly's four reviewers, one reviewer complimented the game as one of the better Sega CD titles. The other three reviewers dismissed the graphics as being too pixelated, with the initial positive review saying it was difficult to see what was shooting the player. Two reviewers found the music to be inappropriate for the action scenes.

Next Generation reviewed the game, rating it three stars out of five. The reviewer called it a "Big mistake" to trade the flying machines of Thunderstrike for the walking robot, as "the net effect is the slowing down of action". He did find that the game offered "a relatively exciting challenge" but criticized the "bitmaps that look fine if you fly by them look blocky walking up to them" and quipped that "we'll keep waiting for Thunderstrike II."
