Battle Droidz is a video game in the action genre developed by Starlight Software and published by Ariolasoft UK originally released in 1987. It is currently playable on Commodore 64, Amstrad CPC.

Earth's resources are running out, so we need a new source of energy. The only way to get it is by linking The Cosmic Intertwining Grid. 37 hexagons make up this grid and to get energy there has to be a continuous line from one side to the other. To free a hexagon to make its line through with three ZMX multipurpose robots. They have one hour in real time to accomplish this task. The robots have to navigate the landscape and collect four pods. Once collected, a teleport is created. When the robot is teleported, the hex has been released.

There are three types of robots to choose from. Fang doesn't like acid puddles, but is immune to gravity and stays on slopes. The round, flat robot likes acid puddles but hates slopes. The last robot, a standard one, hates gravity and acid.

There are many enemies to avoid and shoot, these are produced by generators so try to destroy these robot makers. The hexagons provide you with power-ups to help you in your task.

The game is viewed from a 3D isometric view. The robot is controlled with the joystick and can shoot lasers. Before starting a hexagon, a grid map is displayed. Here you can plan your route from side to side. But be careful, if you miss a hexagon you can't try again, so plan that route carefully.

It is possible that we have multiple downloads available when different versions exist.
