Troika Invaders
Lovers of retro who also like a bit of irony and humor mixed with politics they have a new app for them. It's about Troika Invaders, a game with flavor Spanish and lots of sneering that takes advantage of political news to vent by shooting and destroying well-known and not-so-loved European leaders by the citizens . All this in the form of entertainment to enjoy on journeys or idle hours through the smartphone
Looking inside, it must be said that it is a game of the arcade genre that seeks to repeat the experience enjoyed back in late the 70 in Atari arcade games And it is a version of Space Invaders that so many hours of fun has been taken from the lives of those users who are now beginning to comb gray hair. All this with a very marked critical turn towards Spanish and European politics, but with a lot of humor and a retro vision thanks to its visual aspect.
The mechanics of Troika Invaders is really simple, which doesn't mean it's an easy game. As in Space Invaders the player takes control of a ship that moves only left and right at the bottom of the screen.All this simply by clicking on the L (left) or R (right) buttons. At the same time, you must not neglect your offensive force, shooting at left and right against the political invaders that swarm at the top of the screen. Simply press the button in the lower right corner to shoot and eliminate these politicians who are getting closer and closer, ending the game if they hit the ground.
Of course things are not that simple. The invading politicians, Mariano Rajoy, Christine Lagarde, Mario Dragui and Jean-Claude Junker are also capable of shooting , moving faster and faster and managing to destroy the protection that the player possesses at the start of the game. Questions that put Tsipras or Pablo Iglesias, characters from which the player can choose, in clear trouble. So until you end up losing the three lives that you possess, tolerating constant hordes of enemies, each time more agile.All this without forgetting the mothership, well represented by Angela Merkel, which eventually passes by the highest part of the screen and offers a good sum of points if you manage to hit him with a shot.
In short, a rather critical and humorous game that draws attention for bringing back the classic game mechanics Space Invaders and its aestheticspixelated to current mobiles. All this with derisory animations and representations of the invading politicians. In addition, its creators promise to continue adding new politicians to the cast soon. A title that can be downloaded free and that only means tolerating the odd ad at the end of a game. The game Troika Invaders is available only for Android via Google Play As a criticism, we could talk about how its controls are rough, although it can be a challenge for the most demanding players .
