I killed the President (Node)

In a great robot uprising, machines took over the planet. The Empire of Machine is the new world order and now it is time to push back.

I am addicted to Hexage's game Robotek.

Stating the obvious- it is an awesome game. It is a turn-based strategy, retro style, slot machine type, RPG style dual between two Robot Mainframe. Other than having an awesome tactical gameplay the neon ascetics and trance music by Kubatko has its own charm. In short, it is a treat from eyes, ears and brain.

Goal of the game is to destroy the enemy Mainframe while defending your own mainframe. Player can choose from three strategy options- Warfare, Hacking and Powers.

Warfare teleports new robots or upgrade/ heal the existing robots. Hacking as the name suggests could take over the enemy robots or mess them up. Lastly, Powers are the outright offensive weapon that could scramble, damage or destroy the enemy robot.

After selecting the strategic option the player spins the good'ol fashion slot machine to see how luck favours and the game continues until one of the mainframes is toast and explodes in sparks and smoke.

That is not it, other than strategy; the player can unlock special abilities that are unlocked as the game progresses. Which by the way includes a devastating nuke which is my favourite and an ultimate killer blow.

The game progresses as the player takes control of one node at a time, from over 200 nodes spread across the globe. Some of the notorious nodes being architect mainframe- The Taj Mahal Node, mysterious Bermuda Node, Black Mesa Node, Presidential Node, et al.

This is not even the best part, other than an awesome Campaign with an AI so insane that it sometimes cheats (but AI never cheats), the game has an online Multiplayer which makes it even more interesting.

I have currently finished 90% of the game and am on Level 27.

The game is available for android and iOS.
