 t takes some clever thinking to take something this old and make it feel new again. Square Enix has done exactly that by maintaining the core “shoot the aliens” gameplay while dramatically expanding the strategy and skill required to succeed in the endeavor. Chained attacks on similarly colored enemies garner power-up weapons, while breaching the invader’s defenses to hit one of those top-of-the-screen saucers will often trigger a bonus round. Challenging and unique bosses and exponentially difficult branching stages are equal parts frustration and obsession. Even the music and sound effects integrate with gameplay – your attack timing becomes part of the soundscape much as it does in the cult classic Rez. Space Invaders Extreme serves as a fitting 30th anniversary gift to one of the oldest franchises in gaming.
