Pang Adventures for PS4, AND and etc. is an arcade game which is the newest instalment of the popular Pang series, known in Japan as Pomping World and in the USA as Buster Bros. The series was born in 1989 on arcade machines. The new part was developed by DotEmu specialising in refreshing classic hits, like Heroes of Might and Magic III, Another World, Raiden, Little Big Adventure, and the Metal Slug series.
During gameplay you follow another adventures of two Pang brothers, who fight the invasion of aliens threatening the Earth. Since the last raid that was stopped by the two brave heroes, Aliens took their time and improved their technology. In the outcome, the newest version features loads of new challenges. The simple plot serves just as a pretext for actual gameplay.
General principles of gameplay practically have not changed throughout years. Traditionally, the player’s objective is to destroy balls jumping through levels. The problem is that they are not passive and can attack the protagonists and sometimes hide behind different obstacles. To eliminate them efficiently, you can use a wide range of weapons, e.g. machine guns, flamethrowers, lasers, shurikens, etc. There are +100 various levels set in different locations, like the Arctic, Scotland, the Death Valley, and Bora Bora isles. For the first time in the series, this title introduces difficult boss fights at the end of each chapter.
Pang Adventures offers three different game modes: Tour Mode (the classic single player campaign), Score Attack (survival, in which you have only three lives), and Panic Mode (you have to finish 99 difficult levels with no pauses). The game published on PC and PlayStation 4/Xbox One consoles offers cooperation for two players, both local and Internet.
Available on PS4, AND and etc. Pang Adventures features characteristic for the series, relatively simple visuals which, even though utilise HD graphics and a whole palette of impressive special effects, successfully maintain the spirit of the productions from the past.

Dramatic 80's music hits my ears as the two brothers jump up in the air with such a pose of coolness, it could only be seen on TV. The red Pang Brother, black hair and a Band-Aid slap dead on the bridge of his nose, orange grappling shot in one hand with blue jeans and a red shirt and hat. The second Pang Brother, brown hair, blue shirt and blue jean shorts as well. Teal grappling shot in one hand and they are both ready to shine! Pang Brothers to the rescue!!!
Push Square: 7 / 10 by Stephen Tailby
Pang Adventures is a thoroughly retro arcade game that offers addictive bubble-bursting fun in a modestly sized package. The gameplay is compelling enough to keep you playing for a few hours, but whether its trio of modes provide much replay value is another matter. It's certainly worth a look if you have an old-school itch that needs scratching, and fans of the original game will be pleased with just how faithful Pastagames has been to that decades-old formula.
