The game uses side-scrolling progression: choose a robot, move through each stage, and fight off swarms of machine enemies and bosses. Core actions include basic attacks, jumping, throws, and special moves, with some enemies able to be torn apart or stripped of parts. Destructible scenery can hide items, and stage progression steadily increases enemy pressure and boss complexity.
Robo Army is a 1991 SNK arcade beat 'em up set in a sci-fi battlefield of heavy combat robots. Players blast through waves of mechanical enemies with fast, direct combat built around co-op action, destructible stages, and brutal limb-ripping attacks. Its hard-edged presentation and mechanical theme made it a memorable entry in SNK's arcade lineup.

Mike
One of the playable combat robots, focused on close-range pressure and chaining attacks.
Ariel
A playable robot with agile movement and fast combo potential.
Stay close enough to pressure enemies with combos and throws, but avoid getting surrounded. Against heavy units, watch for attack startup and use jumps or spacing to create an opening. Break stage objects whenever possible for items and score, and save special attacks for crowd control and boss emergencies. In co-op, split enemy attention to reduce crowding.
