    If you enjoy arcade-style score attack action games, Galacticon is a must-have. While it isn’t hard to identify where it draws inspiration from, the overall experience threads the needle of being fresh and vaguely nostalgic all at once. It’s a bit no-nonsense, with only a single mode and a small set of options, but the QR code-based high score chart ensures you’ve always got a reason to come back. Great fun.

    Galacticon pays homage to games like Joust, Asteroids, and Defender, but adds its own elements to make it feel fresh. The strategy around how to get the best score for each run certainly makes for a challenging and addictive game. My only complaint is that you don’t get information about how points are earned until you beat the first level. But for only $4.99 and the amount of enjoyment I’ve gotten out of Galacticon, this game is worth picking up, especially if you are a fan of arcade-style games.

    Finalmente sono riuscito a mettere le mani su uno dei migliori titoli in stile retro che veramente ricordano gli anni in cui giocavamo aiFinalmente sono riuscito a mettere le mani su uno dei migliori titoli in stile retro che veramente ricordano gli anni in cui giocavamo ai cabinati nei piccoli bar di città oppure nelle luminosissime e scatenate sale giochi. Se non l'avete capito ancora sto parlando di Galacticon, un nuovo titolo uscito pochi giorni fa su Nintendo Switch. Credetemi, non vedo l'ora di parlarvene, quindi non perdiamo altro tempo e partiamo! Recensione Completa: https://press-start.xyz/recensione-galacticon-un-titolo-dal-vero-feeling-arcade/… Expand
