In the meantime you help them by using their fighting skills. For example, the skill "electroshock" completely stops the robots at the area.
                                                  • Direct control -you become one of soldiers and control unit in a classic way "WASD + mouse" and the other soldiers will follow you and help in battle.

                                                  Planet R-12 is a sidescroller shooting game where players appreciate the squad-based mechanics and ability to control characters individually, but the experience is hampered by technical issues including potential DPI scaling problems, lack of gamepad support, broken multiplayer features, and a control scheme that takes adjustment to master. Most players found the game frustrating overall, with complaints about accessibility and functionality outweighing the core gameplay appeal.

                                                  Planet R-12 is a sidescroller shooting game with no platforming where you can play as one of three squad members and/or select where each one is and let them fight by themselves. Possible DPI scale issues making things looked too zoomed in or out so you'll have to go into properties if it happens to you. Explanations in this guide: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2566075839 Replace the mentions of "N++" with "Planet R-12". Don't allow access to your network when the game starts for security reasons. You don't need to anyway. The multiplayer is broken (grayed out in main menu) but the achievements worked well. Planet R-12 plays with mouse for aiming and keyboard for movement, no gamepad support. I had trouble with the control scheme until I realized there were keyboard shortcuts for the special attacks, something which should have been shown in the training. The graphics looked like a Flash game, a bit amateurish but were clean. The robots were varied and looked nice. The animations looked like puppets moving. Cool you could select members of your squad from among 7 choices. Intros for big boss monsters were way too long and could not be skipped, especially …
