All that said, Robocalypse is a pretty interesting RTS game. It combines traditional RTS fun with a dash of humor – from the team who brought the world Spongebob Squarepants. Yeah, it’s gonna be kinda funny.

The sounds and music in the game are said to be a little annoying and repititious, though. If you can get beyond that, or play without the sound on, Robocalypse is good for hours and hours of single player gameplay.

Oh, I almost forgot to mention (small smile) the game offers free WiFi play – which in non-geek speak means you can play deathmatches and other modes with your friends or other people around the world.

Oh, and toasters. Yup. The game has toasters. And lots of robot mayhem.

Unlike a lot of RTS games, you don’t have a lot of choices when building structures (or even where to place them), but you do have a lot of choices as to the types of units you want to build.

The DS touch screen is used for all controls in the game, which is kinda different but well suited to an RTS game. (How long before there are touch screen controllers for the other platforms and a lot of games that use them? Hmmm…)

More on the multiplayer – there are two modes, one where you try to amass more resources than your opponent and another (deathmatch) where you try to destroy the other player’s HQ. The two multiplayer modes allow up to four players to go at it with tiny robot armies. Nice.

If you’re a fan of this rare RTS for the DS, we’d love to hear from you! Leave a comment below immortalizing this game that’s bound to become a classic for the DS in years to come.
