This game is strange: part Pacific Rim, part Evangelion, you pilot transformable mechs (or alien robots) with the use of a remote control - meaning you control both the character, and your robot, independently. Defend the Earth from invading aliens who mean to destroy our planet. This plus large, dynamically destructible environments made this quite a project. It's listed in lots of "Best PS2 Mecha Games" compilations, so I figured I'd give it a shot.

INCLUDED
All maps, mechs, characters, challenges, 99% of Story and UI elements
PC and Android versions are identical
Does not include movie clips/FMVs, some destruction elements

INSTALLATION:
1) Extract contents to the /textures folder inside your PCSX2 / Nethersx2 / Aethersx2 folder.
2) Ensure in Settings > Graphics > Texture Replacement that Load Textures is checked (I also recommend checking Precache Textures or Async Texture Loading)
3) ???
4) Profit

The Aether/Nether verision is missing more of the campaign's UI for size's sake, but all the important stuff is there.
