Cheat Code Central
Overall, Robocalypse is a solid and deep game with incredible presentation. It’s certainly one of the best RTS games on the system to date.

GameShark
Ultimately, what makes Robocalypse such a remarkable game is that no one expected it to be this good.

IGN
Robocalypse offers fairly conventional RTS gameplay, but it is a well-oiled machine that plays very well. What is really unique here is the gleefully absurd humor and art style.

ZTGameDomain
Set in a world of wise cracking, battling robots, Robocalypse offers madcap weaponry and uproarious destruction, all embedded in a deep strategy war game.
83
GameZone
The DS finally has an RTS capable of standing shoulder-to-shoulder with the system’s wide selection of great turn-based strategy games. Don’t let the cartoon vibe throw you—Robocalypse has enough strategy goodness to keep any genre fan happy.

Game Chronicles
In what has to be one of the best games I have seen on the Nintendo DS Robocalypse is a great real time strategy game.

G4 TV
Robocalypse is easily one of the best portable strategy games out there. It’s fun, has a nice sense of humor, and the simplified control scheme works well overall. If you can find friends with the game, you can battle in four-player action fests.

GameSpot
Help save the human race from evil robots in this funny and satisfying strategy game for the DS.

Nintendo Power
It's a winning formula, so familiarity isn't necessarily a bad thing, but even a little gameplay innovation would have been welcome. [Dec 2008, p.98]

GamePro
It's an easy game to pick up and I would recommend it to RTS lovers who game on the go. [Nov 2008, p.104]

Game Informer
With smarter AI and more diverse challenges, this title would be worth noting. As it stands, Robocalypse merely exists.
70
Games Radar
But everything here is still solidly done, funnier than almost any other game, and holds a unique place in the DS library. You really should start up your own Robocalypse.

Worth Playing
Robocalypse is shockingly close to being a fantastic game. Everything it needs to be a solid handheld Warcraft clone is there, from the solid and well-balanced gameplay to the reasonable adaptations of gameplay limitations for use on a Nintendo DS.

Kikizo
An intriguing marriage of direct and indirect control plus a serviceable gather-build-annihilate template don't quite redeem Robocalypse from a sheer lack of substance.
67
Gaming Age
It's a really solid attempt at bringing an RTS over to the DS.
