How it feels

A frantic retro arcade shooter where you weave through waves of neon missiles to blast alien hives.

What players say

Players praise the modernized twin-stick shooter take on the Atari 2600 classic, calling it the best in the Recharged series. But many warn that Arcade mode does not save progress, forcing restarts from the beginning. Co-op has a persistent audio bug that cuts sound whenever both players fire, and the developer has not responded to reports of this or softlock glitches.
