Robot Alchemic Drive involves big robots and alien invaders. That's really all you need to get hooked, as long as you don't mind controlling said big robots from the POV of a hapless civilian at ground level.

R.A.D has gained a bit of a cult following in recent years, thanks to its semi-intentional cheesy dubbing, quirky character cast, and Bread and Water Soup.
