Robo Rumble

Strategy and Wargaming Game from Interactive Magic, by Metropolis Software House

Space based real-time strategy game. The game's premise is that earth scout ships have discovered a weapon on Mars that threatens the Earth and two corporations are competing for the contract to destroy the weapon. In order to decide the winner a series of trials have been organized in which each company's robotic fighters will be tested before the victor takes on the main mission. You can take control of either side's robots through a single-player campaign consisting of 16 challenging missions. There is also a multi-player mode for up to four players (via LAN or Net). The gameplay consists of deciding which configuration of robots to produce, defining chassis-type and weapon. Success in-mission earns cash for more or better robots. A good selection of high-powered weapons, including missiles, shockwaves and lasers, are incorporated. You then take your units into maps on a variety of maps covering a range of terrain and including a variety of obstacles that shape battle strategy. The game employs good 3D graphics and the control system is effective. A range of sound effects and beat-driven tunes accompany play.
