7Great Battle IV is a side scrolling run and gun platformer with characters from the Ultraman, Kamen Rider, and Gundam series. Play as four different characters each with unique abilities as you battle through stages and fight bosses. Also includes giant mech battles. The graphics are beautiful with in-game cutscenes. You can also switch characters at any time. This is definitely the best in the great battle series but still has horrible platforming sections where you can die and respawn in a place you cannot get out of without losing all of your lives. Still fun however could have been an amazing game with better level design and more powerful weapons.
