In the application catalogs we can very often find adaptations of great film or literary sagas that aim to achieve the same success in portable formats as in others in which they are already consolidated. The arcade video games that were the spearhead of an industry that today generates billions of euros in revenue, have also tried to reinvent new media without trying to lose that essence with which they managed to captivate millions of users in the 80s and 90s.
Bandai Namco is one of those developers that is currently present in both conventional consoles and tablets and smartphones and has become one of the most powerful firms in the world. Today we tell you more about his new release, Galaga wars, which is roughly a remake of the title of the same name that reached arcades more than 30 years ago and of which we are now giving you more details.
Argument
Una alien civilization it is destroying planets throughout the entire galaxy. Our mission will be to defeat them before they destroy all the races that we find in it. The claim used from Namco is the fact that it is a full-blown shooter in which we will go through different scenarios aboard a spaceship that will simply be limited to dodging and shooting, just as it happened with the original Galaga Wars.
Gameplay
Unlike the original title, the handling of Galaga Wars for tablets and smartphones is very simple, since it will simply be enough to click on the panel to attack and perform all movements. Throughout the missions, we will be able to rescue other ships and items that will allow us to enhance our fleet and make it stronger against enemies that will also increase its power.
Gratuitous?
Galaga Wars does not have no initial cost. Updated a couple of weeks ago, so far it has not managed to exceed the 50.000 downloads. Among the improvements we find, are the creation of versions in other languages and integrated purchases that, at most, reach 2,99 euros per item. Despite having been criticized for failures when saving games, it has also been highly valued for maintaining the essence of the original title.
Do you think that in this case, the return to the arcade may be something that does not contribute to Galaga Wars achieving better results? You have available more related information about other similar games such as Galaxy Reavers so that you can find out more options and give your own opinion.
