A modernized and enriched with new content version of the cult shoot'em up from 1979. In Asteroids: Recharged we sit behind the controls of a spaceship and shoot everything that moves. We can play solo or in cooperative mode.
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.
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.
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.
In Asteroids: Recharged you can play solo or in local co-op mode. A substitute for online competition is provided by global rankings.
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.

Asteroids: Recharged is up there with the best of Atari's Recharged releases and it's even more fun with a friend. So, if you have fond memories of the 1979 arcade classic or just want to play some simple static shooting, you'll definitely enjoy this spacefaring blastfest.
Pure Nintendo: 6 / 10 by Trevor Gould
While Asteroids is iconic entertainment, this installment (like the Recharged series in general) is too conservative to vouch for at launch price. When I can say versions of these games from 40 years ago are just as fun, if not more, there is a problem. This series is running out of steam and needs a change in approach to revive interest.

If you’re a fan of Asteroids, love your retro games or need a game to enjoy in short bursts. Asteroids: Recharged is easy to recommend. The Recharged series may be starting to show a repetitive formula but it’s a design that works. There could be room for improvement but it gets the core gameplay right. Asteroids: Recharged is a fun arcade game and for most gamers, that’s all that counts.
