Quite similar to Front Mission, you can equip various weapons on different parts of your module's body (the robots are called modules). The game's weapons include a variety of long range and close range weapons. There are machine guns, flame throwers, missile launchers, grenade launchers, laser swords, metal knuckles, and more! There are three categories of things your modules can equip: weapons, options, and fields. Options are special, powerful weapons that have a limited use. Fields are cool! They protect you against enemy attacks. Like one field can evade 50% of enemy laser attacks and one field helps jam enemy signals, so missiles can miss. The battles are mini battlefields, you can move your modules around and execute your own strategic attacks. Long range weapons and close range weapons have a weakness.

If you choose to do a close range attack and your target moves away, then you lose your chance to attack it. If you choose to do a long range attack and an enemy stands right next to you, then he gets in your way and you can't attack. This game doesn't have any shops. You gain new weapons and stuff from enemies! Sometimes enemies leave you hefty scraps of themselves. Bring these scraps to your ship's lab and they can turn them into stronger weapons, power-ups, fields, etc.

Most of the game you can easily beat battles by equipping everyone with long range weapons that attack multiple targets. Sometimes it's better to have just two modules with long rage/multiple target weapons while your strongest module goes around attacking with close range weapons.

Cyber Knight isn't your normal SNES RPG. If you'd looked at the screen shots for the other
SNES RPGs I cover, then look at these, you might be going "Ew! The graphics suck!" Well,
I still think so too, lol, but I think you should still give Cyber Knight a chance. I find it to
be strangely entertaining. The 'hybrid-strategy/RPG' style of its battle system is unique.
It's awkward at first, but I'm sure you'll get used to it after five or so battles. The
soundtrack is bleep and blop-ish like a NES game, but it does have some catchy tunes. I
would recommend Cyber Knight only to devote RPG fans. I would especially recommend Cyber
Knight to fans of NES RPGs. But if you're the type of person who's only into popular SNES RPGs
like the Final Fantasy's and Chrono Trigger, then Cyber Knight isn't for you.

Cyber Knight II is really awesome. As expected from a sequel it has better graphics, music, gameplay, story, etc. Except it still doesn't look like an SNES game, lol. It looks more like a Genesis game. I mean, c'mon Tokin House, take advantage of the SNES's power!
