Space Invaders is a remake of the classic arcade game, based on the technology recovered from an alien scout ship that crashed in 1978. The game follows Earth's successful defense against an alien invasion 20 years later, and now it's time to face another threat.
The game stays true to its roots while adding new power-ups and enemies, offering a fresh take on the original. Players can choose from one or two-player modes against the Invaders, who march down the screen in orderly rows and columns at three different skill levels. The journey takes players through the Solar System, with four common aliens and seven less common ones to face.
Power-ups are scattered throughout the game, including special one-shot upgrades that can be triggered by shooting four of the same Invader in a row. Mother Ships also make an appearance, which can drop additional power-ups like shields or double shots upon destruction. Each planet has its unique boss fight, and completing the game rewards players with a reproduction of the original coin-operated version.
