The battle system of Robotrek is quite unique. At first glance it looks like any, e.g. Final Fantasy battle system for the time, it is every but like that.

Your party consists only of the hero character. But to do battle, you have to use the robots you built and configured at the Invention Machine.

For each enemy in a battle the timer is increased by 10s. If you beat all enemies before the timer runs out, you get additional experience.

• You get 0.1 Megs per enemy killed, if the timer is below 10s.
• 0.2 Megs, if the timer is below 20s
• and 0.3 Megs, if the timer is blow 30s.

This bonus counts for all enemies killed. Especially if an enemy calls for reinforcement and you kill those too, you can get more than 3x the bonus Megs.

Also note that the capsules disappear once the timer runs out. You can “waste” time opening capsules to gain items, effects or upgrades. E.g. Bombs cannot be leveled at the Invention Machine. But they can be upgraded with level-up finds from the capsules.
