Robo Army
机器人军团
Robo Army is an action game developed by SNK and released in arcades in 1991. Players control a robot fighter moving through six stages filled with enemies and obstacles. The game features side-scrolling gameplay where players use punch and kick attacks to defeat opponents, with the ability to grab and throw enemies for additional damage. Movement uses joystick controls while separate buttons handle different attack types. Each stage culminates in a boss battle before progressing to the next level. The arcade cabinet offers single-player and two-player cooperative modes, allowing teams to work together against the challenges presented throughout the campaign.
