Asteroids: Recharged is a revamped and enriched with new content version of Asteroids, a classic shoot'em up from 1979. It was developed by Adamvision Studios and SneakyBox and published by Atari.
Plot
Just like in the older by more than four decades original, in Asteroids: Recharged the storyline does not play a particularly important role. During the game we play the role of a spaceship pilot who faces various threats lurking in interstellar space.
Game mechanics
In Asteroids: Recharged we take control over a space fighter presented in a top-down view. In each arena, through which we move freely, our task is to eliminate everything that comes across our barrel; starting with the title asteroids and ending with extraterrestrial flying saucers. We have to maneuver the ship in such a way as to avoid enemy fire and dodge enemy ships or interplanetary debris.
While our ship is equipped with a simple cannon, on the battlefield there are various power-ups that increase our combat potential. We are talking about such upgrades as electromagnetic cannon, black hole launcher or energy shield for our fighter.
Game modes
In Asteroids: Recharged you can play solo or in local co-op mode. A substitute for online competition is provided by global rankings.
Technical aspects
Graphics in Asteroids: Recharged features elements that bring to mind the original game ( such as our triangular fighter jet or the simple, vector-inspired design of asteroids and enemy ships) as well as much more modern components, with colorful backgrounds and a variety of particle effects. In this game, we can listen to a dynamic soundtrack composed by Megan McDuffee.
