Ultratron's gameplay is easy simple to grasp. The result is Ultratron, which is a title that is solid for the most part. Is the genre on its way out, or is the market for these games served already on the PlayStation 4? Whatever the case might be, Curve Digital and Puppy Games jumped on the chance and has filled up the gap that was left empty for a while now.
#ULTRATRON WII U PLUS#
Outside of XType Plus and Nano Assault Neo, there isn't anything else in that genre, and I wonder why that is. Although it has been refreshing to experience them again, they need something more unique to set them apart a bit better in my opinion.One genre that is a bit underrepresented on the Wii U is the twin stick shooter and that is honestly a bit of a shame. Though it comes as much less obvious in its visuals than Titan Attacks, I would like to see Puppy Games come up with their very own cohesive concept for a new arcade-style game as opposed to simply attempting to refine something that has been done many times over the last thirty years. Ultratron, as well as the other three titles Puppy Games have developed, can only largely be considered a modification of an existing invention, and therefore, it suffers somewhat in terms of uniqueness. It just makes things far simpler, but without taking any unnecessary risks, and potentially ruining the control scheme altogether.
#ULTRATRON WII U CRACK#
Though this kind of game had been developed many times before in the past, and as a result, there would have been no errors expected to have been present with the game’s control scheme, I like the different system of using the right analog stick to shoot rather than a main button on the pad, just like Insomniac Games did with another very similar video game within Ratchet & Clank: A Crack in time called My Blaster Runs Hot.
#ULTRATRON WII U UPGRADE#
Like Titan Attacks and the other titles, Puppy Games have developed, the upgrade system is also once again present to give players all the more to play for with each level and to either modify or refine what tactics they use, and how best to approach their own unique style of play. The bonus levels and the levels whereby enemies are shooting at the player constantly can seem all the more satisfying if they are either accomplished to 100% or accomplished without the player taking a single hit. There are also more subtle references and allusions to other games they have worked on within this title, such as the color palettes of each level, as well as other classic 8-BIT games in addition to what games influenced the gameplay, such as Pac-Man and Berzerk.Īs well as Ultratron being much more addictive than Titan Attacks, it’s also a lot more legitimately challenging without it being to the point of inaccessibility. As far as I’m concerned, it is the best arcade-style game to have been released this year, exceeding the quality of Titan Attacks, and for that matter, every other game I’ve played published by Curve Digital.Īlthough the visual style of the game is largely reminiscent of the other three titles Puppy Games has developed, it also has its own specific charm to it in its enemy and boss designs as well as various different stage designs as well. Released on the back of the success of three other arcade-style games, Revenge of the Titans, Droid Assault, and Titan Attacks, Ultratron was released earlier this year to much positive critical acclaim and being ported to a variety of different systems along the way.
