In Boombots you take command of 15 fighting robots in order to stop the evil Cat aliens who have invaded Earth. Players can participate in either a Campaign mode or a Versus battle mode as they fight through 15 combat arenas.
Each Boombot has their own advantages and disadvantages. Boomer is the leader and has balanced attacks and strong close-up strikes; Hans, Texas Walker has huge arms that allow for greater reach; Pittsburgh is pure metallic muscle; and Airplane is a modified World War II plane that can fly long distances across the arena.
There are a number of weapons littering the arenas that your Boombots can use during battle, such as machine guns, homing rockets, and missiles, along with an assortment of melee strikes and holds. Shields, Mongo power-ups, and bombs can all be used to send your enemies to scrap pile.
