Overview and Gameplay
Robotech: The Macross Saga follows the Robotech Defense Force during the Zentraedi invasion. Its ten missions include six scrolling combat stages, two overhead Destroid operations, and two boss battles. Five starting pilots have different power, endurance, speed, and piloting ratings.
Veritech fighters transform between Fighter, Guardian, and Battloid forms during missions. Experience earned from completed objectives upgrades weapon damage, defense, secondary ammunition, movement speed, and maneuverability. Two missions instead use selectable Destroids with distinct armor, movement, and weapon systems.
Controls And Mechanics
The directional pad moves, A fires the primary weapon, and B launches missiles or a secondary attack. In Battloid form, B performs a jump or upward boost. L and R transform the Veritech, while Start pauses play.
Power-ups restore health or ammunition and provide temporary attacks such as spread fire, piercing lasers, explosive shells, and supporting Ghost Fighters. Two linked systems can play campaign missions cooperatively. Competitive link modes support up to four participants in free-for-all, team, and point-scoring tag battles, with one cartridge required per player.
