Le retour d'une ancienne légende du début des années 80, ici modernisé comme il faut sans trahir le gameplay de base ! Et c'est une franche réussite ! Bravo Atari pour la gamme des Recharged ! Caverns of Mars fut un des premiers shmups avec un scrolling vertical mais ici on descend dans les cavernes et le but sera bien sûre de survivre et de faire le plus gros score ! Les bonus d'armes, le coté rogue lite (niveaux aléatoire et récompense à choisir) apporte également un plus. Le jeu est simple mais très addictif, visuellement c'est très lisible, clair ... dans le genre easy to play, hard to master, Caverns of Mars est un must have pour tout amateur de jeux arcade sans concessions. Une franche réussite.
Fun for a while if you liked the original or aracde games in general. Probably my favorite from recharged series,
Nice retro game.
So I definitely do not remember this game back in the 80s. It took a little getting used to... I feel like as a joystick game I would have used my right not my left, so WASD doesn't feel natural. I do wish you could reassign controls to the UDLR arrows as that would be far more comfortable for me. As it is, I just move my right hand over and hit the space bar with my left. It's not real natural, but I sure do better that way. It's a nice time killer, but I'm not sure how much I would play after this week due to these control issues. I definitely plan on loading it on my Steam Deck where I can reprogram controls a bit more. We'll see! :) I'm enjoying it nonetheless!
one of my flow state games.
one of the better Atari recharged games
Tastatursteuerung ist eine Katastrophe. Maussteuerung im Spiel nicht vorhanden, nur im Menu. Nachtrag: Die übelste Musik, die ich seit langem gehört habe. Totaler Dreck. Dieses Gedudel hört man in den Trailern. Ausschalten.
Solid concept, somewhat addictive gameplay, but it's basically a minigame and you'll have seen everything the game has to offer within 15 minutes. The game consists of an arcade mode and missions. All the levels and missions use the same three backgrounds and small handful of enemies/hazards, but with the arcade levels having a bit of randomization to their layouts. Your ships hitbox is slightly wider then your ship, resulting in often taking damage from things you probably shouldn't have. Destructible terrain a neat but a bit glitchy; when you destroy a part of it the remaining pieces will often shift their position, sometimes causing you to crash into them. In arcade mode at the end of each level you'll be forced to choose a perk, which will upgrade one aspect of your ship while also downgrading another, so it's a pick your poison type scenario. I think this is a game I'll be returning to occasionally, but it really needed more content and numerous smaller issues do add up. Given the asking price I wouldn't recommend it, but if it drops to $1-2 or you see it in a comparatively cheap bundle it may be worth checking out.
This was one of the better recharged games. My gameplay is below. https://youtu.be/M8Mf1FBvdWw
