Bravado Waffle Studios proudly presents our debut title: RoboHero A multiplayer tactical strategy game for iOS devices. Inspired by the great tactical classics like X-Com, RoboSport, and RoboRally. Subscribe to the TouchArcade YouTube channel Follow us @bravadowaffle for development news and to chat! We'd love to hear your thoughts! After a year and a half of development, we have submitted the game for approval to Apple and will be releasing the game this month!
So the name changed? RoboHero still sounds proper. The new gameplay looks great. I'm not the biggest strategy buff around but I am drawn to the level design and weapons shown so far. Oh, and the proposed board game looks good.
Yea we changed the name due to potential trademark issues. The picture you have is of the old version of the board game that shows the old name. We are currently chatting with a publisher about getting it printed. We have high hopes!
There's a nice post written on the videogamegeek forums about RoboHero sharing some intial thoughts of one of our beta testers, check it out and pipe in if you want! The more ideas/critics/suggestions we get now means the more cool stuff we can include in the game on release! http://videogamegeek.com/thread/696100/robohero-beta-journal
game looks amazing! i'm a huge fan of roborally and gonna tell all my friends i played it with about this game! is there a release date yet?
Not an exact release date. We plan on releasing it mid October though. Our beta test is coming along nicely and we are ironing out a lot of rough edges in the game. We've got some great beta testers and they are helping immensely. In other news, we have shipped a prototype of the board game to a publisher and are eagerly awaiting hearing back from them for if they want to publish it! Very exciting stuff!
Just wanted to give everybody a quick update: RoboHero was submitted to the app store last Wednesday and we expect to be releasing the game this month! We are very excited!! The first 10 levels, 5 different weapons and armors, 2-4 player Multiplayer, and FFA Arena Mode will be available for free and you can unlock the rest of the content with a $1.99 IAP. Thanks for all your support and assistance along the way. Can't wait to see what you all think of it!
How is this comparable with x-com? i just loooooooved ufo and x-com, but this one doesn´t use any of the mechanics of the other games. Anyway, it looks good nevertheless.
Thanks! It uses the pre-planning mechanic where you have to plan out your moves in advance and then watch what happens in real time. It requires you be very strategic and tactical when planning your moves in Arena Mode against 5 other players, and it takes a fair bit of thinking ahead to beat the challenges in Story Mode too! Also a bit of exciting news: RoboHero just got approved by Apple!!! We will be setting the official release date for this coming Sunday January 15th!
Sweet! Very glad to hear the release date is nearly here. So glad, in fact, that I registered as a member just so I could post my excitement. I'm looking forward to this game. The video of gameplay looks great. I fell in love with Robosport playing on my friend's Mac in college. I still have a PC port of it on my laptop that I still play with the kids once in a while. Not to mention my well-used Robo Rally board game, for which I made a ton of customized boards back in the day. I have big expectations for RoboHero and I'm glad I'll be playing it soon.
