switches weapons,
fires and
jumps.
is disabled in flight stages and
fires rockets to the ground. Controls can be configured in the options menu.
It's noteable that ammo is limited in this game, also that having physical contact with enemies doesn't always mean the player will take damage. Extra weapons can be collected, without replacing the previously owned weapon. Once all ammunition has been spent, Robocop will be limited to use punches. Some boss fights also limit the player to punches.
Weapons
- Pistol
- Spreadshot
- Laser
- Flamethrower
- Rocket Launcher
Difficulty levels modify enemy and item placement. Most stages feature invisible checkpoints and end with a boss fight.
