DESCRIPTION
In Desert Robot Commandos your goal is to reach your home planet after making 10 jumps through a desert filled with hostil bots. Collect resources and deploy your own bots to survive! Each safe jump costs 10 of each resource, while an emergency jump costs 30 random resources, 10 hp and strips your shields when you arrive, so spend your resources wisely!
After a jump it takes 60 turns to charge your engines for another safe jump, but an emergency jump is available whenever you can afford it. Each resource stockpile has limited supply of a particular resource type that corresponds to the bot you may produce from it. 1 resource produces a single bot.
Hills block bot and enemy UFO movement and bots may not be deployed on them, however your own UFO can freely travel over them. Your UFO has 30 hp and a 10hp shield that will regenerate a few turns after taking damage.
