At your disposal are a few attack, medic, hero, and resource-gathering and structure-building units, and each mission has at least one primary objective (and sometimes secondary objectives or secrets). From our recent hands-on time with a near-final build, the in-game action's looking good, with an impressive amount of commotion taking place on the map. You can also earn a handful of achievements that you can view in the main menu's "Hall of Fame."
You control Robocalypse mostly through the touch screen -- drag the stylus around to move the map; tap to select units, buildings, or commands. Selecting actions and units works without a hitch for the most part, but the user interface can feel a bit awkward when you're trying to manage a crisis in the making. The relatively loose organization of your attack units (unless you have a hero to form them into a group) adds to this difficulty, but at least that much is deliberate."

Robocalypse is easily one of the best portable strategy games out there. It's fun, has a nice sense of humor, and the simplified control scheme works well overall. If you can find friends with the game, you can battle in four-player action fests. Overall, this is an excellent example of small-screen strategy.

Robocalypse has you at the controls of your own robot army with a great storyline that adds enough to the game but does not add so much that it gets boring or even annoying. You are the commander of an army but like in real life you do not order around individuals but order squads and a few individuals with special abilities like commanders."
