Reviews for Base Invaders (#428)

Review by Raphie on 10 Feb 2012 (Rating: 3)

Just another Space Invaders game with silly aliens and delayed killings, oh and it's quite possibly one of the easiest Space Invaders game on the Spectrum, like a child can play this quite easily. The reason being is you can shoot the enemy bullets with absolute ease, I mean the game gives you a shield but there's no need to use it because you can shoot the enemy bullets anyway which saves your life.

Certainly not a bad Space Invaders clone, just a bit on the easy side, like too easy, like it's not even a challenge. Oh well.

An old incredibly easy clone of Space Invaders, no need whatsoever of the shield. It takes away most of fun.

A dire Space Invaders clone.
Screen updates are a bit slow, and everything is a bit unresponsive - but the real problem is that it doesn't really work as a game.
It is impossible to die, if you stay still and repeatedly press fire.
The game has a novel "shield" feature - which is a waste of time, as just pressing fire is enough to make yourself invulnerable.
Cute, but worthless.
