Astro Avenger 2 Review
Astro Avenger 2 is the sequel to the 3D space shooter from Sahmon Games. In this arcade installment, you take the role of a lone space craft off to fend aliens in a quest to vanquish their big bad mother ship. And to do just that, you seriously need some firepower, right? Well, fortunately, that's what you will get.
The objective of the game is for you to use your mouse buttons to fire lasers and shoot rockets at incoming enemy fleets. Use your mouse also to maneuver your space craft and evade enemy artillery. What I liked about the controls is how they are very responsive to your every move, and with that, comes easy evasion on many of the incoming attacks.
While most of the time, you'll be shooting and evading, you'll also have to collect power-ups from time to time too. Power-ups will greatly increase your chances for survival and will sometimes even add plasma to your inventory. Basically, plasma is the money currency in the game, and you must collect plasma in order to upgrade your ship and weapons, or buy rockets and probes - little unmanned ships that aid you in battle.
Astro Avenger 2 is a fun game with great production values as you may see from the graphics and in-game music. Besides this, the game is very much challenging too since when I talk about hordes of enemies; you'll definitely encounter swarms and swarms of them flying towards you. Adding up the fact that you'll need to balance your energy use whenever using lasers, this game is definitely much more dynamic than your usual shoot-em-up.
But still, the game is still like any arcade shoot-em-up so besides from the awesome 3D graphics and creative boss battles, you will not encounter additional features or mini-games to play. That's fine by me though, because honestly, I play this game with the idea of blasting some space metal anyway, and in this criterion, the game successfully delivers.
