Gameplay
Gameplay
• Illustration — Gameplay screenshot 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.

The game received mixed reception from both critics and reviewers alike since its initial release in arcades and Neo Geo AES. In 2014, HobbyConsolas identified Robo Army as one of the twenty best games for the Neo Geo CD.
