Robotech:
Invasion
The
number of otaku floating about who can blame their addiction to the
appearance of Robotech in the 80’s is staggering especially whenever
they claim that Macross was stolen from that show. (My brain hurts at
how stupid that is.) Robotech: Invasion takes place in the final third
of the Robotech universe with the invasion of Earth by the Invid. For
this saga, you control a member of the guerilla resistance using your
cyclone to try to free the Earth from the alien aggressors. Your cyclone
comes with 2 modes of operation: motorcycle mode (with missile
launchers) or power armor mode (access to more powerful attacks at the
cost of mobility). So far, no game play screen shots have come out from
the publisher’s website but the pictures all appear to be cut-scene
art – not that’s necessarily a bad thing. If the action portrayed is
as good as the pictures appear, we could be in for a treat.
Here are the
official specs:
In
the 21st century, humankind was freed from the confines of the solar
system through the discovery of an alien technology known as Robotech.
Contact with the stars also brought war with the Invid, a race of
parasitic aliens bent on conquering and transforming the Earth into
their new home world. Now it is up to the battlehardened survivors of
the Robotech Expedition to lead the way for one final attempt to
liberate the Earth from the Invid Invaders!
