You’ll play though Titan Attacks! without blinking, your eyes drying up as you refuse to take your eyes off the action for even a fraction of a second. For what would seem to be a simple clone of an ancient game, this really keeps things interesting and on-edge.Īnd then there’s the high score chasing, that extra level of addiction which went away for 20 years and has come back over the past few years to make decent games incredibly addictive works of genius. Do you top up your shield in the hope of making it further, or save up for a few rounds to buy some more powerful weapons and super-powerful bombs? Without a decent shield you might not make it far enough to even buy them, so it’s a tough decision to make. During all this you’re lost in the haze of bombs heading your way, smiling every time a partly damaged enemy hurtles down the screen with a TIE fighter-esque sound and dipping away from the crowds to shoot an escaping alien who’s trying to parachute to safety.Įven when you get the money to buy something you need to make some tough decisions. Take a hit at any point and the multiplier is gone, pushing your chances of valuable upgrades onto the scrap heap for another couple of rounds. The further you go, the more potential you have for earning cash, with a handy multiplier ticking up each time you make it through a round which increases your scoring potential each time. It might be that you can’t afford any upgrades and have to go another round as you were, or it might be the case that you want to top up your shie d ready for another battle with the invading alien army. There’s also a well thought out risk and reward system when it comes to upgrades, a system which offers far more depth than is initially apparent.Įach round you play gives you a score and a certain amount of cash to spend. It’s very much a Vita game, but it’s nice to be able to plonk yourself down and have a few games on the bigger screen too.
#VITA GAME REVIEW TITAN ATTACKS PS4#
The biggest deal here is the continuing theme of Curve’s recent games, with this being a three-way cross-play title that you can buy once and enjoy on the PS3, PS4 and Vita. There are a few things that make Titan Attacks! stand out from your average alien shooter. So with all that in mind, how can it be that Titan Attacks! is actually very enjoyable and probably worth a few of your hard earned quid? And why wouldn’t it? Space Invaders has been around forever, and the number of games which have used the same style of gameplay are far too numerous to mention. If I told you there was a new game available which took strong inspiration from Space Invaders, I suspect your response would be somewhere near the bottom of the excitement scale.
