‘Robocalypse’
Vogster Entertainment, a fast
growing video game developer and producer, today announced its first new
project, Robocalypse, an innovative new real-time strategy game developed
specifically for the Nintendo DS™. Set in a world of wise-cracking, battling
robots, Robocalypse offers madcap weaponry and uproarious destruction, all
embedded in a deep strategy war game.
A technological breakthrough for the
Nintendo DS, Robocalypse features over 50 independently AI-driven units with
advanced distributed path-finding, dynamic music and stunning, 3D particle
effects. Backing these advancements is a hilarious storyline penned by Jay
Lender, a writer and director for the acclaimed cartoon series SpongeBob
Squarepants™, and Micah Wright, known for his writing contributions across
multiple mediums.
“Given its truly comedic nature and
its technological precedents, Robocalypse sets a new standard for Nintendo DS
games,” said Michael Mendheim, Game Director, Vogster. “With Robocalypse, our
focus is on providing a simple pick up and play experience for the Nintendo DS
that stays true to the genre, but incorporates comedic elements and smart
gameplay to give it a distinct feel and style.”
In Robocalypse, players will control
an oil-swilling, brawling, robotic dirty dozen, as they compete in over 15
unique missions, with hidden objectives, a robust reward system and an intense
multiplayer experience. Robocalypse will have virtual generals rolling on the
battlefield.
Robocalypse for the Nintendo DS is
currently scheduled for release in Q2 2008.
