Review --Space Invaders Infinity Gene

Today is an analysis of a game that has haunted the consoles and computers of more than half the world, and that recently saw the light for the iPhone / iPod Touch, how could it be less.

We introduce you Space Invaders Infinity Gene.

Every day we see that Apple's mobile game developers focus on classic games, treasures of arcade machines from more than 20 years ago. This time the time has come for Space Invaders Infinity Gene.

There are already several games of this style, and based on this classic, available in the AppStore. However, today's analysis we will do on this one in particular, since it has caught our attention, both for its playability and for its entertainment. On the other hand, we will analyze this game since it belongs to the mythical company Taito, a company that developed the first version for recreational machines.

First of all, it must be made clear that the game has nothing to do with the original, except aesthetics, but this is pure makeup. It's about a space invaders totally renovated. The main objective is still to shoot, pilot a ship and move. Nevertheless, Space Invaders Infinity Gene goes beyond these simple controls and gameplay.

We can, therefore, forget to simply move from right to left, and shoot uncontrollably at the pila of enemy ships that are in front of us.
The game consists of 3 main levels, but we will have access to more than 20 game screens, with different scenarios. As we progress through the game we will discover new mechanics and game types. As soon as we pass a few screens, we can start to pilot our ship with total freedom throughout the screen, without the obligation to have a static axis in the lower part for movement.

To be able to move in this way, all we have to do is move our finger across the screen, marking the direction we want our spaceship to follow. Regarding the gunshots, and as in some modalities of the original game, we can forget about them, since the ship will shoot automatically. In this way we can focus more and better on the movements of it. It should be noted that the movements carried out by our ship are very smooth and are really well achieved.

At first glance, and thus explained, the game seems to be made for children. Not much less.

The fact of having total freedom of movement with our ship has been added to have scenarios in which we will find buildings and obstacles. With which, we will have to be very careful not to collide with any decorated of the scenarios.

Those who have put hours into the original game will remember the mythical battles against the final bosses. In these screens we will be able to realize that, indeed, it is not so easy to move freely around the screen.

As always, there are negative points that we do not overlook. Therefore, the small inconvenience that we have we can experience playing Space Invaders Infinity Gene It is the fact that while we move around the screen, we cover some areas of it. This is a disadvantage since there will sometimes be single shots that will cause us to lose the game. However, and fortunately, we did not get too desperate by the fact that it is easy to gain a few extra lives, in addition to the high number of retries that we will have.

Regarding the weapons available in the game, Space Invaders Infinity Gene It has a few surprises that will not disappoint. The default weapon is a double laser beam, better known as Quick Shot (Rapid Shot), but as we progress through the game we will have new weapons.

We also do not forget about the sound effects and the music of the game. With such graphics Retro, the music couldn't have been better chosen. This is a kind of style background music techno, very successful, really.

One of the points that has managed to capture our attention and recommend since ActualidadiPhone This game has been the amount of content improvements that the game includes as we progress through it: new levels, new weapons, different levels of difficulty and different scenarios and graphics.

The strong point of this game is, without a doubt, its special mode, with which we can create completely dynamic game levels based on the music we have stored on our device, whether it is iPod Touch or iPhone. We tested more than 10 songs, and in all of them we were able to observe different scenarios from each other, thus obtaining an incredible gaming experience.

Finally, a short video of this great game to see in action:
