About this game
Shatterhand uses cybernetic fists to fight enemies and block some incoming fire. Punching boxes reveals alpha or beta symbols; collect a sequence of three to summon a satellite robot with a weapon determined by that combination. The satellite fires when you punch, joining close attacks with ranged support. After clearing the opening stage, you choose the order of the middle stages. The next destination and the robot you assemble both influence the tools taken into an encounter.
