    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]

    With smarter AI and more diverse challenges, this title would be worth noting. As it stands, Robocalypse merely exists.

    But everything here is still solidly done, funnier than almost any other game, and holds a unique place in the DS library. You really should start up your own Robocalypse.

    It's a really solid attempt at bringing an RTS over to the DS.

    Robocalypse is shockingly close to being a fantastic game. Everything it needs to be a solid handheld Warcraft clone is there, from the solid and well-balanced gameplay to the reasonable adaptations of gameplay limitations for use on a Nintendo DS.

    An intriguing marriage of direct and indirect control plus a serviceable gather-build-annihilate template don't quite redeem Robocalypse from a sheer lack of substance.

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. =)… Full Review »

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.… Full Review »
