You could say that 2017 is being the year of technological nostalgia. From the Nokia 3310 to Nintendo's NES Mini, there's a marriage of technology and memories that sell. Perhaps for this reason Square Enix has not missed the opportunity to do the same and return two classic arcade games to mobile phones. Of course, this time they do it together and scrambled. Arkanoid and Space Invaders join Martians in the same title. And it is already available for 4 euros in the Google Play Store and in the App Store.
Bricks and Martians
The twist that Taito, those in charge of this development, have given to the classics is most interesting. In Arkanoid vs Space Invaders, the arcade mechanics that everyone knows are brought together. On the one hand there are the Arkanoid bricks, and on the other hand the invading ships of Space Invaders. All in the same games.
In this case there is not a ball that is in charge of destroying everything, but we will use a rod capable of reflecting enemy shots Like this that all the elements are on screen. A fresh proposal but recognizable by those who played some version of these games.
150 levels and many unlockables
Being a paid game, it was expected that it would arrive loaded with content. At first it lands with a total of 150 levels. More than enough to invest a few hours of fun and galactic frenzy.
There are also unlockables such as 40 classic Taito characters that can be obtained to play as. Each one with abilities that can be applied during the game. There is also a Hard difficulty mode for those who are experts in killing Martians.
All accompanied by 20 different powers to attack the invaders, and with final boss stages with 3D elements A visual finish really attractive but made with great care in memory of the classics. In other words, Arkanoid vs Space Invaders is a treat for those who once hit buttons in an arcade.
