5/30/2023 0 Comments Ps vita titan attacks![]() ![]() 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. Bonus rounds in between some levels allow the player to earn upgrades and points while an online high-score table allows the player to boast his/her scores online.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. Points are rewarded for efficiency in shooting enemies and for capturing enemy aliens who may parachute down off their crashing ship. Your shields will also need to be replenished between levels if you are shot, while other upgrades you purchase become permanent components.Įnemy ships for the most part move in set patterns excepting the five mother-ships which move in a more aggressive pattern of their own choosing. The points you collect on each level can be used between levels to purchase upgrades to your weaponry and armour. Power-ups are available through simple pick-up from bonus ships you shoot down which will give you temporary weapon upgrades or point collecting upgrades. Your adventures will take from from the Earth to the Moon and finally to Titan via other stops in between. ![]() There are 100 levels of alien armada to get through. ![]() Titan Attacks is a fairly straightforward Space Invaders clone where the player controls and shoots from a horizontally mobile cannon while configurations of enemy aliens scroll down and try to shoot you back. It's up to a single fighter ship to destroy their attacking forces, drive them off of Earth and chase them back to Titan. Invaders from Titan have arrived to wreak havoc upon Earth.
