Space Invaders Extreme

space invaders extreme is one of my personal favorite video games, and yet it is with a heavy heart that i cannot wholeheartedly recommend the steam port. the 3 main dealbreaking issues for me with this game are as follows: 1) always online singleplayer game no internet? too bad! you can't play space invaders extreme. there is absolutely no reason this singleplayer only game has to be always online, it's inexcusable 2) they put no effort into the music when they said they were bringing back the ds tracks, i was hyped to hear my favorite sie tunes remixed in full hd, but what i was NOT prepared for was for them to push all the music work onto an unpaid intern. it appears as if literally NONE of the budget was put into the music, as literally NONE of the tracks are actually remastered, they are only reusing older HQ versions of the old tracks, and any track without a preexisting HQ master is left to the wolves. at least they're not using the psp version's soundtrack, i guess, and the new music is actually quite good 3) the border keeps flashing during gameplay this sounds like a minor complaint, but the reality of the situation is that the nonstop border flashing is beyond obnoxi…

Pretty good ..... I don't really have anything else to say

Fun! Not as great as its sequel, which only ever released on the Nintendo DS. I had no idea the original was remastered in 2018. If you've never played, think Pac-man championship edition, Lumines, Geometry wars for highscore chasing. Lining up things to get bonuses in this game feels a bit like pinball, too. The world needs more highscore chasing games like this, all we get are roguelikes/lites. Its still worth a play and feels a little distinct from the sequel thanks to some improvements. If you like this style of game, or the classics, snag it.. I'm not a fan of the warioware-esque bonus stages to get into fever, or the mechanics on the bosses being extensive in comparison to the sequel, so the very short five stage runs feel samey for those periods. They're not nearly as fun as the moment to moment gameplay and I don't remember the sequel being that way. The sequel is also much showier when you get the big payoffs. Since the formations don't really change in this one, memorization might be a little too important. It could also use a guide for its very convoluted score mechanics. Despite that, the shorter runtime for a full game keeps it fun and fever into a ton of points f…
