Summary

Robo Army drops you into the neon‑lit streets of Neo‑Detroit, where two ex‑police officers—Maxima and Rocky—have been turned into cyborgs by the mad scientist Jeed. The game’s side‑scrolling beat‑em‑up action lets you mash fists, feet, and improvised scrap like car carcasses or robot arms while a power gauge fills from collected items. When the meter hits full, you can unleash a screen‑clearing blast or, for a brief window, morph into an indestructible power buggy that barrels through enemies like a Tron light‑cycle. Visually, the title shines with crisp sprites and flashy effects, and the occasional robot dog or discarded limb becomes a handy weapon in the chaos. Critics have praised its fast‑paced combat and solid replay value, earning it scores ranging from 70% on GameRankings to high marks in Japanese magazines, and it even made HobbyConsolas’ list of top Neo Geo CD games in 2014.

Storyline

In Robo Army, you take control of one of two combat robots tasked with halting a mad scientist’s mechanized menace. The scientist has built an army that ravages the city, captures citizens and harvests their brains to fuel more machines. Your robot punches through waves of enemies across a jungle‑filled stage and the ruins of a devastated metropolis. The ultimate goal is to crush the robot corps known as Hell Jeed and restore peace to the world. The game’s fast‑paced action pits you against relentless foes as you fight to save humanity.
