***Assault Suits Valken***[a], also known as ***Cybernator***, is a 2D [mecha](/source/Mecha) [action game](/source/Action_game) developed by Masaya and released in 1992 for the [Super Nintendo Entertainment System](/source/Super_Nintendo_Entertainment_System).[1] The second entry in the *[Assault Suit](/source/Assault_Suit)* series, it is a prequel to the first game, *[Target Earth](/source/Target_Earth_(video_game))*. The game was localized and published overseas by [Konami](/source/Konami). The story follows Jake Brain who pilots a giant mecha and fights in a war engulfing the entire world.

## Plot

The game takes place in the future, during a time when Earth's [fossil fuels](/source/Fossil_fuel) have begun to dwindle. There is a massive war taking place all over the earth for control of these resources, as well as for territorial rights on the moon. The two warring governments, the Axis and Federation, have the ability to go into space and create giant [space stations](/source/Space_station) and [weapons of mass destruction](/source/Weapons_of_mass_destruction).

Jake is the game's protagonist. He is a soldier drafted into the Pacific States' Marine Corp and pilots a Federation [Assault Suit](/source/Mecha). In the prologue text he states he only fights because he is a soldier, not concerned with patriotism or politics. Survival for a soldier means defeating the enemy. The Suit has a humanoid shape, with arms, legs, a torso, and a head. It is equipped with a variety of weapons and other special accessories, giving it full land and minor air capabilities.

Jake and his platoon, which operate from the warship Versis are tasked with destruction of Bildvorg, the most powerful mech of the Axis forces. The various missions in the game lead up to the completion of this objective. (It is piloted by Major Beldark, whom Jake meets first in mission 4 and would later meet Jake once before the final boss). Versis sends out 2 other suits, one is unnamed and another is named Apollo in stage 4, who is killed offscreen by one suit that is really fast (Beldark). Ironically in that mission the player saves an enemy suit entering the Earth's atmosphere, whereas Beldark kills Jake's ally Apollo soon after.

Although *Cybernator* was released after *Target Earth*, Cybernator takes place a century before *Target Earth*.

In *Assault Suits Valken 2*, Jake makes a cameo appearance as a 30-year-old veteran soldier who assists in battles as an NPC.

The game has two endings. The bad ending can be acquired if the player fails any mission in the game, such as failing to stop Arc Nova from falling and/or allowing the enemy space shuttle to escape in the 5th mission. In this ending, the Versis is critically damaged and most of her crew are killed, including Crea (Jake's partner), which leaves Jake devastated in the credits. The game over screen also states the player has not completed their mission. If the player succeeds in the side missions, the Versis survives and Jake returns to the carrier, the war is over and Jake and Crea embrace each other on the Versis' deck as the Cybernator suit falls into pieces.

## Development

[Toshiro Tsuchida](/source/Toshiro_Tsuchida) served as producer for the game. Afterwards, he joined [G-Craft](/source/G-Craft) and worked on the game *[Front Mission](/source/Front_Mission_(video_game))*.[2]

The soundtrack, composed by Masanao Akahori, was later rearranged and released as an official soundtrack CD in Japan.

The original Japanese releases featured artwork done by [Satoshi Urushihara](/source/Satoshi_Urushihara).[3]

Designer Satoshi Nakai was insistent on the game including destructive environments.[4]

*Cybernator* was the subject of [censorship](/source/Censorship) during its [localization](/source/Internationalization_and_localization). The Japanese version featured written dialog accompanied by a portrait of the speaker, but these portraits were removed during localization. There is also a scene absent in which the president of the enemy forces, whose banner is that of the [European Union](/source/European_Union), after realizing that his nation has been defeated, commits [suicide](/source/Suicide). Also some written dialog is taken out, which shows the soldier rescued in the fourth level being in the robot fought before the final boss. However the few human enemies in the game remain (that are minuscule in scale vs machines throughout the game) with no censorship when they are killed.

The instruction manual of the English version is also filled with inconsistent information. For example, the sixth mission takes place in the Alps, where Versis tries to fly over the mountains to reach the Allied front lines, but according to the manual, the player's aim is to raid the enemy commander's mountain retreat. Another example of inaccurate information would be concerning the laser weapon, the strongest the player would receive in the game minus the cheat weapon the Napalm Flamethrower. It stated the laser takes a long time to recharge yet it actually recharges at least as fast as the Vulcan's reload, and unlike the Vulcan the laser recharges to a full load automatically without needing to expend its power/ammo first if they stop firing it.

The instruction manual also stated the suit to be a colossal 5 stories tall and 5 tons (which is seriously underweight for a machine that tall), contrary to promo material stating it to be 4 stories tall.

## Release

*Assault Suits Valken* was released in Japan for the Super Famicom on December 12, 1992.[1] When the game was released outside of Japan, the title was changed to *Cybernator*.[5] It was released in North America in April 1993.[6] The game received a port to the [PlayStation 2](/source/PlayStation_2) in 2004 in [Europe](/source/Europe), [Australia](/source/Australia) and Japan, under the title *Assault Suits Valken*.[7][8]

In 2014, the game was re-released in Japan through the game distribution service EGG.[12]

### *Assault Suits Valken Declassified*

It was released March 30, 2023. The game features a new English translation without the censorship present in *Cybernator* as well as new artwork by character designer [Satoshi Urushihara](/source/Satoshi_Urushihara), a digital recreation and translation of the official 80-page Japanese guidebook, interviews with the designers, exclusive pre-production artwork, save states, unlockable cheats, and an option to switch between the original and newly arranged soundtracks, along with other additional features.[13]
