While it follows the Space Invaders fixed shooter formula extremely closely, Titan Attacks! brings enough tweaks to the formula to be worth a shot on its own – although it is short and sometimes frustrating along the way. Sound is the expected collection of bleeps and bloops with an electronic soundtrack in the background – serviceable, but not memorable. There’s not an overload of special effects like you’d find in a shmup but that works for the action that’s happening here – I also didn’t really deal with any slowdown or framedrops which is important for a manic title like this. On screen action is hectic as you can imagine, with shots and exploding firing everywhere as well as many waves of different shaped alien Invaders slowly making their way down the screen. One of the things I like most about the game is its use of colour – each set of levels is shaded differently which makes them all lovely to work through. The first set of levels (on earth) feature striking purple skies with green aliens, broken up by searchlights scouring the skies – by the time you reach the moon levels you’ll be treated to bluey-grey backgrounds and sharp red fire from the aliens (while what looks like the Death Star is being constructed in the background). The Mars levels are red and black and so on – it all feels well judged to evoke different feelings. With colourful graphics and plenty of explosions lighting up the screen, Titan Attacks! is not anything technically special, but looks nice and sharp on Vita.
Titan attacks too many bullets driver#
Earth is under attack from invading aliens. The driver of a solitary tank, it’s up to you to fight off their waves and repel them back to the moon, before taking the fight back to Mars and even further towards their home planet – all in the name of protecting Earth and making sure they never darken our skies again.Īt least, that’s my take on the plot in Titan Attacks!, a Space Invaders-style fixed shooter that doesn’t actually feature any story, but does at least leave the interpretation of its universe up to your imagination. Which is fine, as this is an old school-styled game about high scores, combos and blasting aliens – it doesn’t need any more.
