Like a slot machine, there are three columns which randomly cycle through these actions until you hit stop, ideally synchronizing all three on your desired action. For example, the espionage strategy involves hacking, energy-drain, and force field. On your turn, you’ll choose a general strategy – reinforce, espionage, or assault – and each strategy has three possible actions. Whereas a similar game like Risk uses dice to resolve battles, Robotek uses an interesting “slot machine” mechanic. Each side chooses their actions for the turn, then combat resolves… hopefully with the gigantic brilliant explosion happening on the other side of the screen. The goal of the game is to penetrate your opponent’s forces and cut his main bot’s health down to zero using a combination of calling reinforcements (moar bots), espionage (hacking, energy-drain, force field), and assault (shock, microwave, laser) tactics. Each side has a “big guy” (you), and can summon three bot-variants for added offense/defense – drones, tanks, and droids. There are over 200 nodes, with varied levels of difficulty. Using a bank of credits (charges), you’ll “buy” access to a particular node and attempt to liberate it from the enemy. Hexage is known for their quality titles, neon-graphics, and innovative games, and Robotek is no exception. Fortunately for you, controlling such an army requires no more technical expertise than playing slots at a casino! Technology has certainly come a long way… Squid-shaped alien robots have taken over the world, and it’s up to you to win it back! Node-by-node, you’ll be sending your robot forces to demolish the invaders using varied weaponry and tactics.
