Robo Attack combines the nostalgic retro gaming feel with modern fast-paced action in the brand new arcade shooter. Even better? It’s available on both iPhone and Apple Watch. Designed by John Passfield and Pete Mullins, they’ve created the perfect game for gamers who miss the ‘old school’ retro style games like Robotron and Berzerk.
Defeat Robots and Save Humanity
In the year 2125, robots have destroyed most of humanity. Play as a lone robot warrior who is programmed to save the world from these machines. Defeat the rogue robots who are coming towards you to save everyone.
Though simple at its core, that’s what makes it so brilliant. These short games are perfect if you need a quick gaming fix during breaks, commuting, or to pass the time.
After each round, you will get a high score, which you can then try and beat in the next round. As you progress through the waves, more robots begin to attack, so you need to be quick. We all know the feeling of becoming addicted to trying to beat your previous score, right?
Each robot is also unique. The K1LL-BOT, as the name implies, is a fast-moving robot whose aim is to attack you. Then there’s the GRUN-7, a robot that uses its four arms to strike. Look out for the different ones coming your way.
Power Up!
As you play, you’ll likely come across a variety of power-ups sooner or later. Shield, Triple Shot, Rapid Fire, and Time Freeze are all the options you can find, adding an extra layer to the fast-paced action.
You’ll also come across people who are the last of humanity! Rescue the man and woman each round to gain additional points.
If you’re ready to dive into the fun, you can download Robo Attack now on the App Store. Before you go, check out our piece on the New Grid-Based Game, Eldermyth.
