Robo Army is a horizontally-scrolling beat 'em up for one or two players featuring two cybernetically-enhanced soldiers called Rocky and Maxima who must attempt to stop an invading cyber army called 'Hell Jeed' from enslaving the human race.
The game uses three buttons:
A - Attack
B - Jump
C - Energy blast
Hitting the jump and attack button simultaneously lets Rocky and Maxima attack behind them. Collecting energy balls makes the energy blast more powerful, similar to the magic potions in Sega's "Golden Axe". One major difference, however, is that the special attack here can be used several times to diminishing effect before it finally runs out.
Players can often pick up a fallen robot's limb to club other robots to death with. Also, if players approach a weakened enemy and press forward and the A button at the right time, Maxima or Rocky will rip the enemy in half.
Finally, a defeated enemy will occasionally drop a glowing icon of a human fist. Picking this up causes Rocky or Maxima to transform into a futuristic buggy-like vehicle for a limited time. Any enemies Maxima and Rocky touch while in buggy form instantly explode, while hitting the attack button allows them to speed across the screen to quickly run enemies down.
