Gameplay

There is no character selection in Robo Army : Player 1 controls Maxima and Player 2 controls Rocky. Both cyborgs must cross six levels before reaching the end boss. During these levels, they will face the Professor's henchmen, as well as a sub-boss and a boss in each stage. The two heroes can of course fight with their fists and feet, but they can also defend themselves by collecting improvised weapons (car carcass, barrel, destroyed robot arm). They each have a power gauge allowing them to launch powerful attacks according to the power gained. Maxima and Rocky can also be transformed for a brief moment into an invulnerable armored vehicle.
Development and release
In Japan, Game Machine listed Robo Army on their December 15, 1991 issue as being the twenty-third most-successful table arcade unit of the month, outperforming titles such as Columns. The game received mixed reception from both critics and reviewers alike since its initial release in arcades and Neo Geo AES.
