About Robotech: Battlecry
A mission-driven action title, Robotech: Battlecry embodies
the classic mecha-filled mayhem of the animated series. Featuring
all-encompassing destruction on a giant scale, Robotech: Battlecry
is a high-octane arcade shooter that captures the television show’s spectacular
visuals and epic storyline.
As an intrepid fighter pilot, the player must protect cities of Earth from
roving bands of a giant alien race, the Zentraedi . The player pilots the
versatile Veritech Fighter, a giant transformable mechanized robot that can
convert into a high-flying jet fighter, a 40-foot tall humanoid robot, and a
combination of both. Each transformation mode offers new movement options,
special abilities or weapons. To succeed in battle, the player must use more
than one mode to complete their assigned objectives. In keeping with the
Robotech identity, the environments, mecha, characters, and overall appearance
are modeled directly from the stylized look of the highly-regarded animated
series.
