About Asteroids: Recharged
The original space shooter warps to the modern era! Asteroids: Recharged has been reimagined for modern gameplay, with vibrant visuals, powerful new abilities, and another original soundtrack from award-winning video game composer Megan McDuffee.
Asteroids: Recharged creates a familiar, but revitalized and modern challenge to both old school and new high score chasers. And 30 unique and creative challenge levels take the space shooting game play into new territory, complete with local and global leaderboards.
An entirely new collection of power-ups -- including spread shots, rail guns, reflector shields, and more -- will help stave off splintering asteroids and aggressive UFOs. Co-op play lets you play with a friend, and ramps up the intensity as players do their best to coordinate and survive.
Key Features:
Old Meets New: Classic Asteroids gameplay updated with refined control, and modern visual flourishes
Power Up: Blast pink UFOs to pick up deadly benefits like explosives asteroids or a black hole shot that sucks in all enemies in its radius
Challenge: Compete in a series of 30 challenges designed to put even the most seasoned players to the test
Compete: Reach the top of global leaderboards for arcade and individual challenge modes
Bring a Friend: Play local co-op in every mode, surviving the depths of space together
Get in the Groove: Space out to an original score by Megan McDuffee

[h2]It's like the original Asteroids just recharged[/h2] Growing up, I played a lot of the original Asteroids on an ancient Atari PC back in the late 80s and early 90s. So when Atari started releasing the Recharged series, I was naturally curious. Asteroids Recharged stays true to the original while giving it a modern look. The visuals are great, the sound is solid, and the gameplay captures the feel of the arcade classic while adding a few new modes to keep things interesting. That said, I couldn't shake the feeling that something was missing. I can't quite put my finger on what it is, but it feels like the game could have gone just a little further. It isn't my favorite game in the Recharged series, but it's definitely one of the better entries. I've played through most, if not all, of Atari's Recharged series. If you're curious what I thought of the rest, you can find them on my curator page or in the full Recharged list below.

Its like the original but really not. My aunt had an original Asteroids arcade machine at her house, it was fun! this game is good pretty good. There should be a way to switch back to the original. Also this game Music sucks.2 found this helpful
Got this one as part of a bundle. Linux native build doesn't work, it brings up a "missing executable" error. You have to force it to use Proton, then it grabs the windows build and works fine. That's why I rated this down. Why the ♥♥♥♥ would you state that this has native linux builds but not actually include the executable? ProtonDB also has the same complaints. There are other issues with this game: - It's boring after about 10 minutes. - Some of the challenges are silly. The 50 UFO one throws 20 at you at the start, then drip feeds 1 at a time every 10-15 seconds or so for about 3-4 minutes until you get 50. Lol. - If you fail to complete a challenge, it says A to retry or B to exit. However, if you complete the challenge, it's A to exit or B to retry. Why? - Achievements for the ribbon require coop mode for a dead game. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. - $13 CAD store price. Lmfao. Don't pay more than a dollar for this at most to satisfy curiosity. It's clearly a lazy shovelware throw-together game.1 found this helpful
What an absolute pleasure of a game this bad boy is. Its got me hooked , I cant belive how good and addictive it is. Bought for £1.99. Defo worth 2 bar.
If you were a fan of the original Asteroids you will be a fan of this one. Top marks.
It's fun, but I already beat all the challenges. Whats left?
