Gameplay
Titan Attacks! is heavily based on Space Invaders in overall format, but more fast-paced than the latter game.[1] The player controls a tank and must shoot at enemies moving back and forth at the top of the screen, who sometimes shoot back with lasers and bombs.[1]
The player also collects money, which they can use to buy tank upgrades to increase the power of their tank.[1] This includes a more powerful gun and defensive energy that protects the player from attacks.[1]
Plot
The player is the last surviving tank commander on Earth, and must defend the planet from an onslaught of aliens from the moon Titan.[2]
Reception
The game received mixed reviews from critics, and holds an aggregate score of 74/100 for the PS4 version on Metacritic.[2]
Colin Moriarty of IGN rated the game 74/100, calling the game "unapologetically old-school" and a "fun time-waster", though he criticized the fact that it didn't attempt to break any new ground.[1]
Wesley Copeland of Pocket Gamer UK gave the game a score of 7/10, saying it still feels "fresh and inventive" despite its old-school design, and adds new twists to the Space Invaders formula.[3]
The 3DS version of the game received lower review scores, with an aggregate score of 64/100 on Metacritic.
