E3: Real Time Strategy 'Robocalypse' Game Coming to iPhone

Mobile developer Vogster was also present at E3 showing off their first iPhone title Robocalypse. Robocalypse was an award-winning real time strategy game that was originally released for the Nintendo DS in 2008 and is now coming to the iPhone.
Robocalypse – Mobile Mayhem for the iPhone features all the zany characters, hilarious dialog and fast-paced, yet accessible action of the original game. In Robocalypse – Mobile Mayhem, players will build and command robot armies to fend off attacks from the evil Demolisher and his near-endless supply of maniacal mechanical marauders.
The game has been adapted to the iPhone with enhanced graphics, music and improved play area.
Vogster has posted this trailer of the upcoming game which gives you quick glance at the title, but we've also recorded a walkthrough of the game at E3 which we will post shortly.
This looks cool. Why are there so many upcoming RTS releases? First it was Warfare Inc, then nothing, now a bunch of RTS's coming to the iPhone.
@21duc29 : the logical reason why there are so many RTS announcements recently is because developers looked at the market, saw that Warfare Inc. was about the only RTS out there and decided to make one. Now they're all coming to fruition. It's not like developers call each other and ask if they're working on a similar game. These things happen.
I played this on the DS and I enjoyed it alot. Can't wait to play this on my Ipod Touch, too.
Co-op is a welcome option.
I'm looking forward to the online multiplayer. Is there more than two races?
Wi-fi battles alone make this a game worth buying. I look forward to its release.
I seriously doubt if any RTS will ever be a hit on the iPhone. You simply can't manage the controls on the touchscreen. It would be too hard!
@Vikram
You clearly never played Warfare Inc.
I didn't like Robocalypse on the DS, let's see if the game is any better on the iPhone.
i will wait for c&c:red alert…i think it will be better.
Anyone remember Z for the PC? I DOS game I believe. I think this would be a natural port to the iPhone. The games were a little long, but usually quite fun.
I played this game on Nintendo DS and I think it was one of the best games on the platform last year. I'm going to pick it up on iPhone for sure, i'm super stoked for the co-op and other online modes, something I wish was in the NDS version.
I strongly reccomend pepople check it out on iphone if you never played it on NDS. The game has great gameplay, has a funny story and is really high quality. Better than most of the shovelware on iphone these days.
wow …. i didn't realize iphone games looks that fun
wow ! i love it,,,, check this out
