Space Invaders - Fukkatsu no Hi

HD never looked so SD


Genre: arcade - n/a

Publisher: Taito

Year: 1990

System: PCE


Gameplay Score: 1

Gameplay Notes:

I've never liked Space Invaders and this mildly updated version isn't changing my mind. The only improvements are a shield that lets you take a few hits, and enemy types that fitlre a spread shot to increase difficulty. And the removal of the shield blocks. Controls are responsive, but there isn't much to do. The OG arcade version is also present.


Level Design Score: 1

Level Design Notes:

Every stage is identical


Theme Score: 2

Theme Notes:

I like the idea of an upgraded old arcade game. The new version has a cutscene and a little bit of presentation that the OG obviously lacks.


Art Style Score: 1

Art Style Notes:

Terrible, boring graphics. Even the New version looks like an 8-bit game at best.


Audio Score: 2

Audio Notes:

Fun music in the New version, although the noises get old.


Overall Score: 23

Review ID: 8129
