Droids is an updated and SUPERCHARGED strategy game based on the classic Mac game of Daleks. Two versions of the game are included: the great classic you've come to know and love, and a much more strategically advanced and enhanced version.
It's 2048 and humans have lost control of Terra. Androids have come to dominate their creators. But one small band of humans, The Clan of the Jayhawk, holds out and battles on.
As you battle your way through the many and varied levels, the androids get smarter and smarter and more technologically advanced. You'll have to come up with ever more clever and ingenious ways to "retire" them. Along the way, you'll get some help from other members of the Jayhawk Clan, but it is ultimately up to you to become the Savior of Terra!
Our Review: Droids is a Mac version of cats and mouse in a similar vein to the popular Mac game of yesteryear; Daleks. In Droids you control a male (or female) human renegade fleeing in a chess turn-by-turn style from a pack of swarming droids. The aim is to move around the board in such a way as to make individual droids bump into each other (and thus disintegrate). Droids is nicely coded and has enough in the way of pleasing graphics, sounds, and gameplay to make it a real addiction.
