Robotica (Robotica Cybernation Revolt / Robotica: The Cybernetic Revolution in Europe, Deadalus in Japan) is a 1995 First-Person Shooter / Mecha Game developed by an uncredited Genki for Micronet and published by Acclaim and Sega, solely for the Sega Saturn.In the future, worldwide turmoils have caused the formation of a world government called the World Silent Security Service (W.S.S.S). Stationed on a self-sufficient asteroid base called Daeadlus, the W.S.S.S succeeds at bringing lasting peace to Earth.In 2877, eight centuries after the establishment of the W.S.S.S, the reasons for its creation have long been forgotten. Though some worship Deadalus as if it were a God, a growing rebel movement called the Reformist Faction is questioning its continued existence, despite the W.S.S.S's repeated attempts to supress it. The Reformist Faction managed to take over a nearby penal colony, from which they will launch a daring strike by inserting three high-tech Laocorn mechs. As one of the chosen few, your mission is to put an end to the W.S.S.S by destroying Deadalus' core.

Cut and Paste Environments: Taken to the extreme, in that the game has over 30 stages.... and all but the last uses the same monotonous, generic-looking grey wall, ceiling and floor tiles!

The Goomba: The lowest-ranked variety of robots. They only float in a single fixed spot, has a slow, easily-avoidable projectile attack, and dies in one hit.

Cutscene Incompetence
 Robotica (Video Game) / int_c5e42cbd
comment
Cutscene Incompetence: The two redshirt Laocorns (which weren't yours) who gets ambushed by Daedalus' robots goes down way too easily, especially considering in gameplay you can tank at least five times what took them down in the opening. The second one also managed a few hits on one of the Daedalus mooks, but hardly does any decent damage (whilst in the actual game the same mook variety goes down in roughly the same amount of hits).

Blackout Basement: The game attempts a few varieties between the monotonous level designs by having a few random stages being set in total darkness. The Laocorn's flashlight illuminates a certain radius around it but visibility is still limited.

Critical Annoyance
 Robotica (Video Game) / int_cabaf736
comment
Critical Annoyance: When the Laocorn's health reaches below 20%, it starts a loud, annoying beeping while the screen flashes red, repeatedly nagging the player to boost it's health as soon as possible. If any player has the misfortune of reaching below 5%, the Laocorn's health actually depletes itself.

Have a Nice Death: Should you exhaust all the Laocorn's health, you're treated to a cutscene where it slowly imploding, bit by bit. Cut to a shot of you in the cockpit going Oh, Crap! before the entire machine blows up.

Space Station: The game is set entirely in one, called the Daedalus. Which is filled with malfunctioning robots and about to crash on earth.

Downer Beginning: The game opens with three Laocorn-class mecha attempting to land on Daedalus' surface, only to be ambushed by the station's defenses. Two were destroyed immediately, while the third - yours - made it into the Daedalus. Cue stage 1.

Cores-and-Turrets Boss: The Daedalus' core is a literal example, being the station's main energy cell surrounded by turrets. It is however a Level in Boss Clothing that you spend the entire last level fighting.

Spider Tank: One of the enemy mecha varieties, although this one has wheels under it's spider-legs allowing it to slide around (probably to save costs on walking animation because of the game's budget).
