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 the cities of Earth from roving bands
of a giant alien race, the Zentraedi(TM). The player
pilots the versatile Veritech(TM) 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.
