Breeder is a unique strategy and simulation game released by Soft Pro International for the Famicom Disk System in 1986. Rather than dropping you into direct combat, the game tasks you with designing and customizing combat robots known as “Metal Soldiers.” You must build your creation from various body typesโlike hover, snake, or multi-legged framesโand carefully allocate a point budget across attributes such as speed, dexterity, and IQ before entering them into tournament death matches.
How to Play
The core objective is to engineer a robot capable of defeating its opponents in the arena. Since the combat itself is entirely automated, your success depends entirely on your design choices during the customization phase. Use the D-pad (Arrow keys) to navigate the menus and allocate stat points, and the A button (Z key) to confirm your selections. Once the battle begins, you simply watch your creation fight against computer-generated challengers.
Tips
Focus on balancing your robot’s attributes; neglecting a stat like IQ or speed can result in a fighter that behaves sluggishly or makes poor decisions in the arena. Experiment with different body types to see which builds fare best against specific opponents in the automated combat.
