In the year 1999, while the Earth was embroiled in a global war, an alien vessel entered the planet’s atmosphere and crashed on an island off the coast of Alaska. Initial examination of the craft (codenamed the SDF-1, or Super Dimensional Fortress One) revealed it to be some sort of giant battle fortress constructed of a science far beyond that of Earth, called Robotechnology.
Humans were no longer alone in the universe, and now faced the possible threat of superior alien forces. The nations of the world put aside their differences and joined together in order to share in this new technology and prepare for the planet’s defense. The Robotech Defense Force, or RDF was assembled for the purpose of safeguarding the planet. Using Robotechnology, scientists created new weapons and vehicles.
Soon after the Earth government completed its repairs of the battle fortress, the vast Zentraedi armada appeared, bent on retrieving the SDF-1 and the secrets it contained. It is now up to you to save your planet for what is left of the Zentraedi forces.
Robotech: Battle Cry is a mission driven, third person action game that takes the classic mecha-filled mayhem of the animated series and translates it into an exciting Arcade style 3D shooter. With an incredible variety and mobility of the player’s transformable Veritech Fighter, a vehicle that can change from a ground based, 40-foot tall humanoid robot into a high-flying jet fighter craft, the player gets taken on a ride through the Robotech Universe.
Each transformation mode offers new movement options, special abilities, and weapons. The environments and mission objectives are designed to challenge the player’s skills in each of the transformation modes, and every mission demands that the player use more than one mode to achieve their assigned objectives. In keeping with the Robotech identity, the environments, mecha, characters and overall appearance are modeled directly from the stylised look of the well-known anime series.
