How it feels

Retaliate feels like a classic arcade shooter where you must carefully manage your shield to steal enemy weapons and survive a relentless onslaught.

What players say

Players say the no-ammo, absorb-enemy-bullets mechanic freshens a classic Galaga formula. The arcade mode and leaderboards are the draw, while the story mode is short and lacks checkpoints. Some find the $10 price steep for the amount of content.
