The simplest gameplays also need us to enjoy a good graphic level. Unless in that pixel art we find a great finish that gives us the feeling that we are facing one of those arcade machines perfectly simulated from the hardware of our high-powered smartphone. It is for this very so the retro pixelated style is catching on for that more 3D that we usually see on consoles and PC. It is not that there are not high quality titles with that very powerful 3D, but the pixelation on those bright screens looks very good.
One of those simple games on mechanics but that hopelessly hook us because of how they are finished is Orbitron Arcade. Orbiting a dark moon, we find that there is an alien race that is responsible for creating mysterious creatures on its surface that are half alien, half machines. It is our mission to destroy them all with the power of destruction of our ship so that they do not multiply and finally take control of the moon called Orbitron. A game that takes us into space to control a special ship that will orbit that moon to defend it as best it can.
A casual space shooter
With this story on the table begins Orbitron Arcade, a casual space shooter with pixelated graphics that does his thing to dazzle you and you get better at that well-needed aim to destroy all those aliens that want to infest the surface of that strange moon called Orbitron.
The gameplay is quite simple since the ship orbits the moon as if it were a satellite and that is where we will enter to play to shoot on those bugs aliens. They will appear as we rotate around the moon, and if we make a mistake in the shot, the game ends. If it were the case that we do not want to shoot because we are not sure that we are going to hit it, in that rotation we can let that alien prosper and transform into that monster, so we will end the game again to start it again.
Skill and just enough time to shoot
Orbitron Arcade us leads to shooting without wasting a second, but in a certain way, since in the first games you probably won't hit those aliens. But it is a matter of playing to refine your aim and get more points. It is here where we enter a game similar to Flappy Bird in the fact of getting a better score and then sharing it with friends.
With this simplicity, playing him is quite easy, but if you already want to get better scores you will have to sweat a bit to have the necessary mastery for it. A quite special game and that is perfectly worth to have it always installed because its gameplay motivates us to play a quick game of a few minutes so that we close it immediately. It is that type of video game that you do not even need to uninstall because we can always play it because of its elegant way that we do not have a good time without much bragging.
You got it for free from the Play Store without micropayments and almost all its gameplay for you.
Technical quality
It is surprising, because each of its elements perfectly comply with its mission of taking that feeling to be before a sidereal space and a slightly strange moon. The explosions and shots are well done and the sound is also on par for that constant stimulus of being in a retro game.
Maybe they could change planets and have more variety environments, but Orbitron Arcade plays a league where it doesn't want to offer much, since it goes straight to get you hooked on fast games with no frills of any kind. A video game in itself special and that has something essential for gamers, it hooks.
If you are looking for something lighter but ships, this.
