Reviews for Retroinvaders (#27155)

Review by popocop on 12 Sep 2012 (Rating: 4)

"Retro Invaders" is a very playable "Gyrrus" clone (or "Space Invaders" sequel). Gameplay is simple but addictive, skill level is set just right. Graphics are almost monochrome but clear, sound and music are great.
Play the 128k version because the 48k one is much worse.

A pretty good variant of the original Space Invaders ,,, with one original feature above all : our space-ship moves in circles and in two directions , left and right .

The tunes sound incredible in this modern video-game but there is something important lacking : the naivity of the early ZX Spectrum stuff .

Retroinvaders is too sophisticated to really become a true Spectrum classic , in my humble opinion , this is why I give it a 4 . Too advanced for my taste ,,, :(

If Space Invaders and Gyruss ever had a child this would be the resulting baby. This is a very good game combining the gameplays of both Space Invaders and Gyruss and maintaining the combined excitement of both games.

Very clever idea and it really pays off, this is most impressive indeed.

Fascinating idea paid off superbly with its marvel gameplay. Good fun.
