The best Galaga remake available today!
For those who played at the Arcade and spend a lot of money on the classic Galaga from the early 80's are going to love this jewel! Warblade is the way you always imagined Galaga to be back in 1981, with nice graphics, good music and a very addictive gameplay.
This PC version Warblade is actually a pimped up version of the Amiga release Galaga Deluxe, which I played over and over in the mid 90's.
The story for the game is like all those in this genre. Earth is invaded by aliens and you are the only one who can defeat them and their leader, usually called Big Boss. You're send into space to kill them all. The first waves are easy, but as you get stronger so does the aliens.
How do you recognize a good game? If your playing for several hours and thinking you just played it for 5 minutes! This is one of those games. Having a brused index finger from shooting those aliens back to where the came from, I decided to buy the game. I have no single regret and after two years the game still gets updated, so you can get the latest version free of charge.
The game has two nice ingame minigames: Meteor Storm and Memory Station, which will give you some "rest" between the stages. Also Time Trail will keep you wanting to beat the (online) highscores and keeps you coming back for more...
My Ratings:
Graphics: 6.0 - It's not a 3D frenzy of nice looking graphics, but it's more then enough for this kind of game.
Sound: 7.5 - Ingame music often get annoying after a couple of hours, but not this one. Then again, you might not share my musical taste. Lucky you there is a Jukebox where you can select your own music (like MP3's) during gameplay.
Gameplay 9.8 - Probably near perfect arcade gameplay with many extra's, different and a lot more for the fans. A great replay value. Note though: Very, very addictive!
Closing comment: It may very well not be your thing (2D Shoot'em ups), but if it is...this one is it. |
