    First off all, I got a chance to play this at a video game conference in CA. Walking by the Robocalypse booth immediately caught my attention. I think that it was the cartoonish/catchy artwork on display. This RARE RTS for Nintendo DS is a must for all DS owners, again, I must repeat RARE! The art in this game is beautiful and the characters suck the player into this robocalyptic world . Overall, the game does a excellent job carrying out your commands. For a handheld the graphics are great and it is easy to see all the smaller details necessary to make that quick military action. ***What's really cool about this game is that you can connect to your friends via Wi-Fi and engage in multi-player deathmatches as as well as an array of different domination modes Finally, the strategy behind the game as well as the overall story line synnergize into a great player experience. This is a great game for the holidays. Curl up on your coach to a nice fireplace, make yourself or your kids some hot coco and play this at your pace. Expand

    Don't be fooled by the graphics! Robocalypse is a very intelligent RTS game presented in a way that doesnt take itself too seriously. It can be played in 3 modes (easy, normal, hard) and does a damn good job of simplifying the usual RTS clutter into a streamlined interface for the DS. The single-player missions are engaging but the real value is in multi-player mode. Definately a must-buy game! Save yourself xmas hassle, it's the only new title you can get away with gifting to all your neices and nephews and they won't complain about getting the same thing. =) Expand

    It's an easy game to pick up and I would recommend it to RTS lovers who game on the go. [Nov 2008, p.104]
  2. It's a winning formula, so familiarity isn't necessarily a bad thing, but even a little gameplay innovation would have been welcome. [Dec 2008, p.98]

    Robocalypse offers fairly conventional RTS gameplay, but it is a well-oiled machine that plays very well. What is really unique here is the gleefully absurd humor and art style.
