Galaga Legions DX

Galaga Legions DX

When you put a little 'of refreshing twists to a classic series of games last year, a great Pac-Man Championship Edition DX, Namco Generations team has turned its attention to another Namco franchises. Galaga Legions is the result of the DX, which uses Galaga Legions of 2008 as the starting position and develop the dual stick shooter with one puts constant pressure on a clock. He did not quite reach the same height as the previous effort of the team, but involves a known set Galaga, once again makes a century-long search of better results difficult to resist.

Galaga Legions in DX, pilot a fighter against waves of enemies insectoid called Galaga. The magnitude of this game of similarities with the 1981 arcade classic. Here, as in the original Galaga Legions, which are accompanied throughout by the two satellites invulnerable to fire whenever the fire ships. In Legions, you can place your satellite anywhere on the screen, but in this case the action is simple. The satellites do not leave their side and direct the right stick. You can have as much fire from the satellites in the same direction or you can set the satellites in the mirror the other. You can switch between these two formations, at any time. As the incoming waves of Galaga often enter an address and multiple addresses, you need to react quickly and to reconfigure the satellite at the time to do so effectively, making it a game tactically, but more immediate and frantic its predecessor.

DX Legions also intensifies the tension, taking the example of games Championship Edition Pac-Man. Here, each match is divided into five levels, each level has a series of waves. Each level has a time limit imposed, and the challenge lies not so much to survive each wave, but in the early defeat to win as many points as possible before his last-second points. Before each round starts, the blue lines on the screen quickly, indicating the reason for moving incoming enemies, and markers indicate where leaves Galaga, giving time to your position and its satellites to deal with them . Its aim is to destroy the enemy effectively, because all the time allocated to a level that left over when you have finished one of the first four levels are added to the amount of time you get to spend five levels, and the level of five years all point values ​​are doubled.

As waves of enemies typically consists of a large number of small vessels, and one or two larger ships. By destroying these enemies from the larger chain reactions that destroy the whole team, the compensation is a semicolon at the enemy, but to eliminate them efficiently. Galaga bombs also appear frequently through the destruction of these creates an explosion that consumes all nearby enemies, and targeting them is often the key to the waves wiped out quickly. Initially, the amount of activity on the screen can be confusing, but as you play, you naturally get better at reacting to indicators that precede each wave, and quickly remove Galaga. The development of more efficient killing machine is precise and rewarding, and it is tempting to try each region, repeated attempts to gain a few more seconds to move to level five and achieve ever higher profits.

Activities to keep you on your toes. The incoming enemies with the constantly changing, and waves of alternating with the enemies swarm around you in numbers so vast that the vessel must be completely surrounded by, and those bombs Galaga explosions fill the screen and immediately remove all enemies with ease. One moment, you feel overwhelmed, then I feel a great power. Power of the mind has been improved, sometimes, when its comes Galaga. Destroying these will create a black hole that sticks close to the enemy, who would later join, is the force of will dramatically offensive. These helpers are fragile, and most of them are likely to get wiped out quickly come into contact with the enemy, but the thrust is providing a fun while it lasts.

One of the things that often feel threatened. Even when you're surrounded by enemies on all sides, is usually easy to open a way through them and the cloud lifetime. Thus, while the action is, it is rare emotion in his chair that comes with the struggle to survive and escape from the death of the skin of the teeth. This does not mean you will not die. False move can cost you your life, more importantly, it will cost valuable time, and when they reappear, the action moves at a slightly slower pace than before. If you want to pick up some tips on how to earn higher scores, you can watch replays of the best scorers in the standings. This is a nice feature, and reveals the strategies sometimes counter-intuitive that you can use to maximize your potential score.

Legions DX features six visual styles to choose from before each game. One of these is a mild high-resolution, ships and enemies in Galaga. The other five can use the original sprite games like Galaga and Galaxian colored, and a way to destroy the enemies disintegrate in pixilated tracks when playing with one of these options are checked visually Boxer blasts the creatures to pieces even more satisfying. Regardless of which option to choose the visual background is constantly changing asteroid fields of the display, color-shifting star fields and other attractions dynamics. The result is a game that is similar to what the child could not have imagined in the 80 games in the future will look like.

It does not take long to make your way through all Galaga Legions DX 10 regions, and in this sense it is a short game and easy. But the real battle for supremacy by classification, which is not so easy. It is unfortunate that the Legions DX does not do what many other games scoring focused these days, and notify you when you are near or exceed the score of a friend (or when a friend has sent you ). This may have fueled the fires of competition and to give these areas any test even more difficult to resist. But even without this kind of integration leaderboard, the gameplay is fun to come back, if you aim to achieve a high score from a friend or simply to set a new personal best. Legions DX does not have much in common with its arcade legend is machined, but it carries a title worthy Galaga anyway.

Therefore, every extra second that accumulate to extend their time in the level of five years could mean tens of thousands of additional points to send you further up the rankings.

For example, all the markers most commonly in the Tournament mode shutdown after reaching the 10th wave of enemies, destroy two level five to a total of 400 000 points, then the sacrifice of their ship, and restart the wave, repeating process until they get to their last ship. It is unfortunate that the best strategy is not always just keep fighting through the waves as you can, but at least the game makes it easy for you to learn from other players.
