Louis Bedigian writes "In the real world robots are used to make our jobs more efficient. In the world of entertainment they're used to obliterate anything that moves in a battle to save mankind. Star Wars made them cool, Terminator made them tough, and Robocalypse – a new RTS designed exclusively for Nintendo DS – makes them an unstoppable army while being tame enough to achieve an E (10+) rating.
Robocalypse begins when a group of extremely polite killer robots (who knew there was such a thing?) invade the world, supposedly because of a freak accident at a local lab. To eliminate this evil-but-well-mannered threat, an old professor, a dumb blonde and a geek with glasses turn to the only defense they have: three retired veterans. They're old, clueless and are about to become guinea pigs for a device the geek developed. Using a brain pattern scanner to mimic the veterans' former skills, new robots are created to combat the enemy."
Vogster Entertainment is an independent entertainment company based in New York City, delivering high quality, inspiring and creative content for all gaming platforms, featuring lots of refreshing themes and important brands to gamers. One of these is Robocalypse, a critically acclaimed, mission-based real time strategy game for Nintendo DS.
The Robocalypse Demolisher, an evil robot bent on world domination, will invade the iPhone and iPod Touch world too...
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."
