The game that I have chosen to write about is called Zoids: Assault and is a title for the XBOX 360 system. It is a turn based, RPG style based off of the popular animated tv show called Zoids. The story that kicks off the action is actually pretty engaging, but presented through a series of still anime artwork and text screens. There's a voiceover that carries on for entirely too long and by the time you're actually on the battlefield you'll likely have forgotten everything about the story line anyway. The most dedicated strategists are more concerned with battle tactics than with looks, and Zoids Assault does at least offer the basics. You command the same squad of five Zoids for the entirety, maneuvering about the battle grid one turn at a time, gunning down enemy bots while accomplishing mission objectives. These objectives are the usual suspects: take out radar dishes within a dozen turns, eliminate all enemy forces, and so on. Yet with only 14 missions and few reasons to return once you've finished, Zoids gives players only a brief time of enjoyment before having to repeat missions.
As for gameplay the game's calling card is its support mechanic. Assuming you have Zoids in attack range, a single turn can prompt support fire from up to three additional units. You can also volley return fire when on the defensive in much the same way, so unit placement is the single greatest factor in every battle. The other major factor of gameplay in the game is outfitting your Zoids is also a strategic factor, of course, since each weapon determines how far the unit can move during a turn, how much damage the attack does, and so on. You also earn points to spend on equipping various special moves, and grab data discs that you enhance weapons and armor, or simply paint your bots different colors.
Overall Zoids is a decent strategy RPG, if you’re looking for a game to challenge your mind this may or may not be the game for you.
