Zoids Mokushiroku Zoids Apocalypse is a licensed turn-based tactical RPG published by Tomy exclusively for the Famicom based on the Zoids mecha franchise. Pilots command animal-shaped Zoid mechs across grid battlefields, engaging rival forces. Customizable loadouts and terrain bonuses shape tactical combat outcomes.
The overworld links outposts, wilderness zones and enemy fortresses. Random encounters trigger grid turn-based Zoid battles. Victories unlock new Zoid units, weapon upgrades and pilot stat improvements. Outposts serve as repair and supply hubs.
Powerful large-scale Zoid bosses guard territory toward the final conflict. Hidden wreckage sites contain rare upgrade parts for thorough explorers.
Tomy’s mechanical animal Zoid tile graphics and tense military marching soundtrack capture the war-torn planet atmosphere of the Zoids universe.
Strategically, consistent campaign victory requires assembling a balanced Zoid squad of fast scouts and heavy assault units. Overreliance on a single powerful Zoid creates severe weaknesses against specialized counter units.
For contemporary Famicom retro Zoids licensed collectors, Zoids Mokushiroku is a domestic Tomy tactical mecha RPG curio.
