Played through
Robo Army this evening.
Robo Army is a 2D sci-fi belt-scrolling beat-'em-up developed and released by SNK for arcades (running Neo Geo MVS hardware) on October 30, 1991. Set in the future, players control two cyborgs (Maxima and Rocky) sent to counter an army of robots invading Neo-Detroit.
+Above average graphics for the time.
+Fighting engine feels tight with good hit boxes.
+Hot robot on robot action (beat robots up with their own arms).
+Boss battles are great.
+Transform into a car and run over all things.
-Enemy variety ceases halfway, just palette swaps the whole back half.
-Could have used more stage variety (like bombs, pits, or other hazards).
-Boss rush at the end was kinda meh.
-Perhaps a little
too short.
Robo Army was decent, could have used more variety, but it was short and sweet. Ex's rating: 7/10
