About
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 gameplay 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

The original Asteroids is one of my favorite classic early arcade games. This enhanced and expanded remake of sorts keeps all the fun and excitement of the 1970s Atari game, while making it feel approachable and modern.
Asteroids: Recharged looks and sounds great, and controls surprisingly well. Besides the "Classic" mode that approximates the arcade game, it offers "Recharged" and "Classic Recharged" modes that throw in some extra weapons that appear when enemy UFOs are destroyed. These add a lot of twists and prompt a change in strategy, as you gain temporary enhancements to your default cannon, such as a spread shot or a mega-laser.
I have only one minor complaint: the music, while good, gets a little old after a while. A greater variety of background tracks would have been nice, but what's here works well.
Highly recommended!
8/10
