8 of 15Amazing remaster of an amazing game. It's been out forever, WHERE IS THE NEW CONTENT!!!????
I really love it! Thank you for making it icade compatible!
This is a really fun game, but the fact of running it on the 5S and it having the black side bars is really annoying. This game really needs to be optimized for the iPhone 5 and up.
The classic and modern modes of Alien Breed shows just how far along things have come in the past twenty years even when it comes to keeping the retro in retro games: dual stick changes everything, and it's quite possible to significantly improve graphics without losing that timeless feel of an era, though perhaps a few more years along into that era. Much like Contra games, half the battle is the endless waves, but unlike them, there is so much more to explore, so many more traps and pickups, and no good way to find a good route without trial and error.<br/><br/>Ultimately, however, Alien Breed is still what it always has been, an adrenaline laced blast-fest where half of your foes die as you just run right through them, without any hint of stealth. Playing ponderously only gets you killed by endlessly regenerating enemies, and you'll never have the satisfaction of clearing whole levels. Plus it's far too easy to get stuck keyless, naked, and low on ammo, necessitating a restart. I'm probably spoiled by DooM and Quake, where more linear levels kept you from getting trapped.
This was one of the original shooters of its kind. Many have come and gone since this Amiga classic, but its still fun and shows a lot of character. Great guns, challenging gameplay, and classic style.
...I became stuck, without any keys, in the first three minutes of the game. I paid .99 cents for the game, I don't intend on spending any more real world cash to earn keys, so... DELETE.
This is the commercial version of the game, therefore it should not be selling credits to unlock features. But possibly more important, the icon is broken. Instead of the Alien Breed icon shown on the download page, you're treated to a Marmalade logo.
TONS of fun and WELL worth the 99 cents!!!!!!!
