Robo Madness is the first game made by Vaccum Inc. in the Robo Madness (series). The game is a Strategy-Shooter-Action type, featuring the robot Scyplo on his quest to find his clone and retreive the clone machine. The game will be released in 2012 for the Wii U and the Hybrid Fusion.

Gameplay

The gameplay has three different varieties: HUB, Travel, and the variant with most levels, Battle.

HUB

The HUB variant is the one you will play when you are on each planet's HUB. The variant is similar to a 3D RPG, where you can walk around, jump, run, talk, check inventory and start missions. Each planet has it's own HUB, and each have it's own decorations. There may also be found some hidden passages in HUBs, which usually lead to secret missions which give you various items, and in rare examples, new characters.

Travel

This is another type of gameplay, but this time used on levels, and to travel around planets. In travel levels, you can only play as Scyplo (and bonus characters), except if the story requires it. During it, you fly in a space ship, and must reach the goal or find an item. There are puzzles in most of levels which you need to complete to continue. Sometimes, some enemies may appear during Travel levels, but they are mostly bosses you are fighting in the levels.

Battle

The battle variant is the main way of gameplay. In the first half, you see the map, and you must place your characters on places on maps. In some shops or from missions, you can buy units which you can place on battlefield to help you. There are various type of units: slowing down, upgrading characters or just attacking. During the battle, you may change characters any time. You can have max of 5 characters (one must be Scyplo) on the battlefield, and each haves a special ability. You may also use items during the battle. If a character loses all of his HP, it can't be used for the rest of the battle, but you may revive it if you have the Instant Revitalize item.

Boss Battles

While some Boss battles are fought as normal battles, some are fought in other way. You can walk, jump around like in HUBs (as you aren't in a space ship), but you also get the ability to attack. Each character haves different moves, and while you can use any character you want in a Boss battle, in plot-important battles, you must use only the ones the game allows.

Story

Prologue

The story begins with meeting with one of best professors which are located in the universe. The President of Alienta calls the meeting, and ordered to make the most advanced robot in the world. The project was going great, but it was made slowly, and so, the President decided to hurry the sciencists. However, as they finished, Professor Elfain noticed that there are still a few bugs, but they can't now fix it, as Scyplo must go now on tests. Before they left, they finished their secondary project, the copy machine M-Copy. They decided to use it on Scyplo, creating Betolpy. Betoply was kept in a capsule because it was unknown if it's safe to use him yet. Scyplo was took to the testing field, and his most important abilities were tested: hammerspace (to be able to keep some projects inside Scyplo in case if there isn't space in labolatory) and emotions (to make him seem more like an living creature). The hammerspace was working great, but it was discovered that bugs were put in the emotion system. In meanwhile, Betolpy get out of the capsule, and while he was walking around labolatory, he found out in his data that he was going to be destroyed as he was just made from test of M-Copy. In anger, he destroyed the lab, took M-Copy, and espaced in a spaceship. After the sciensists returned, they saw the labolatory fully destroyed. Thankfully, there was still one spaceship, and Scyplo could use it to chase Betolpy. However, before leaving, proffesors decided to test Scyplo's battling abilities before leaving.

Alienta

If Scyplo decides to go to Alienta, Edmund, Cheepel and Sacel are going with him. However, they learn that Alienta is in chaos, because of attack of a big group of enemies, leaded by Zelat (or Derenn if you won the Mineralin planet before) . The group decide that Cheepel will go to scout if the area is full of monsters.

After around 30 minutes, Scyplo had noticed that Cheepel isn't returning, and so, a Travel Stage starts. When you complete the level, the group sees a prisoned Cheepel, and try to save him. However, the monsters notice them, so a Battle Stage begins.

Sylphiu

When Scyplo decides to go to Sylphiu, Elfain and Melice go together with him. However, they soon find out they're not alone in the skies of the planet: modern, technological airships patrol the skies and attack any strange person. Elfain advises Scyplo to dodge them and try to sneak onto the land.

During the Travel Stage that follows those events, Elfain is captured by the Sky Pirates. Melice tries to attack the space pirates, but fails and is knocked out, with her ship falling on the ocean. Scyplo rescues her, meanwhile Melice's Ship is kept, slightly broken, in the deep of the sea.

Scyplo and Melice both agree on going to try and save Elfain. As so, another Travel Stage begins, this time with Scyplo's ship seeking to catch the Sky Pirates'. When near them, the stage ends, and Scyplo jumps from his ship onto the airship's deck. Melice quickly follows him, only to find they're trapped and surrounded by a bunch of Sky Pirates.

A Battle Stage begins. After completing it, Scyplo and Melice quickly try to escape from the Sky Pirates, running onto the airship's lower level. In it, they find Elfain, who tells them about who controls these ships: Betolpy, with the Clone Machine, cloned thousands of airships and then gave them to shadow-looking ghosts, which walked in the darkness of Atlantica.

The three, trying to escape through a window, soon find out about who is the boss of the robots. A Shadow' incredibly powerful creatures with the abilities to distort someone's perception of reality. While Elfain starts to hallucinate, Scyplo and Melice protect her from the Shadow attacks, invulnerable to the mind control. A Boss Stage begins.

After defeating the shadows, the group of dark ships start falling onto the sea. With a PDA, Elfain calls both her airship, Melice's and Scyplo's to her rescue. They come just in time, and the three get on their airships. Quickly, they fly away, having ended Betolpy's influence in Sylphiu.

Flintezz

Should Scyplo go to Flintezz, Regal is the only one who assists him in preventing the planet being destroyed by Betoply as it is where he originally had missions. Once on the planet, they find that it is being town apart by a Civil War between the Maxi and the Taeko, two races of Iclavies who are conflicting over territory. This is the only planet where you can take 2 paths for the Storyline.

Maxi Path

If you choose the path of being allied to the Maxi, you must first go to their part of their territory in the Travel Stage and visit a group of Soldiers. The soldiers will be cautious of you at first but then they will accept you, they let Scyplo into their building and show all the details of the conflict, from how their population spiked to their battle plans. Once the cutscene is finished a Taeko Scout Team will infiltrate the building and the Battle Stage will begin.

Once Scyplo and Regal defeat the Taeko scout team, 2 of the soldiers who escorted Scyplo and Regal in will temporarily join the party until the planet is completed. You must now go to Antares in the Travel Stage and talk to him in there to convince him that the war should end along with the racism against the Taeko. Once you talk to him, he will argue with your points and will begin saying that the Public have been driven by the Elites. He points out that most Maxi were convinced by a speech done by Maxi Elite Cygni that the Taeko must be destroyed and that the entire public agree with him. Once you finish speaking with him you travel again to Cygni's outpost, Encountering some Taeko on the way and beggining the second Battle Stage.

After travelling and arriving at Maxi Elite Cygni's outpost, Scyplo and Regal begin arguing with Cygni about the public and his influence over them. Cygni then takes out his Juggernaut v2.6 Heavy Plasma Rifle after hearing this and threatens Scyplo and Regal's views, leading to the Boss Stage. Cygni will attack Scyplo, Regal and the two soldiers using his Juggernaut Heavy Plasma Rifle and his modified HVPB Launcher, with his most powerful attack being a Death Blossom from the Juggernaut. Once defeated, Cygni falls to the Floor and dies. Because of this, Scyplo is able to convince the public that they only need to take their territory, and not make the Taeko completely extinct.

After some discussion with other soldiers, Scyplo finds that the robot responsible for the overpopulation was the cause of Xarz, thus making Scyplo and Regal hurry to find and kill him as soon as possible. In this travel stage, they also encounter Taeko on the way, leading to a Battle Stage. Once they arrive at the location of Xarz, Xarz mentions on how his plan was meant to work and how it would affect the entire planet of Flintezz and about how he supposedly "Missed" Regal, this leads to the following Boss Stage. When defeated, Xarz' head is penetrated revealing the insides and the frame, and Regal proceeds to decimate it with the Soldiers' Rifles.

After defeating Xarz, the war is ended and both the Taeko and the Maxi like in peace for now, knowing that Betoply and Xarz' influence over the planet is finished, both Scyplo and Regal fly off the planet and head back to Elfain. When they returned, Elfain informs them that they found a robot girl, Sofyia, which had been hold hostage by Xarz.
