Missile Command: Recharged

pretty fun recreation of a classic arcade title. very fun little time killer. Only issue i have with the game is the "Missions" as the arcade mode allows you to unlock upgrades and going back to the normal missions with base power, speed, etc. is a bit jarring and disorienting and messes with accuracy. so i guess if you want to complete the game comfortably, play the missions first and THEN play the arcade mode.

Does not feel the same as original Gameplay:Happy uplift music, no sense of danger. It looks like you just pew-pew for points Missile explosions obstruct view: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3811432762 This is not Missile Command. It supposed to be about danger and fear of inevitable doom Missile Command: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TjCWCJXoGgE Also watch "Narrative Mechanics - How Missile Command Tells a Story - Extra Credits" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQJA5YjvHDU

It's time to recharge those missiles! Err no that's not right... I don't recall playing the original Missile Command, so I'm not going to compare the two. Missile Command Recharged is a fun 2D shooter where timing is everything. I know most games have timing elements, especially the Recharged series, but this one is almost entirely about timing. If that's not your thing, it may not be for you. The chaos forces you to think and react as quickly as possible. Once you get the hang of the timing, it starts to feel like second nature. Is it fun? Yes. But like several of the other Recharged games, the gameplay can start to get old quick. It took me roughly 10 hours to 100% the game, and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't getting tired of it halfway through. It's still worth picking up in a sale. I've played through most, if not all, of Atari's Recharged series.
