Vortex Attack doesn't break the arcade shooter mold, and it doesn't have to. The simple mechanics, combined with a fun variety of enemies to disintegrate, lead to chaotic and addictive battles. Varied ships, power-ups, and bonuses give it high replay value, and it allows for same-screen multiplayer (a rarity in this age). Overall, it's cheap, it's fun, and I highly recommend it.

Anyone who is a fan of those old school, classic shot-em ups, then we’ll think you’ll really enjoy this one. Vortex Attack is a reinvention of those classic games, with clear, vibrant colors and addictive gameplay. Even though it does get repetitive rather quickly, for £3.99, it’s great value for money.

Vortex Attack is a great Arcade-style Space Shooter that can steal hours of your life. The different ship types change up the gameplay more than you would think, and the large amount of levels gives the game surprising depth. The first few levels can start out a bit too slowly, and the boss battles are a little dull. However, if you’re into Arcade Space Shooters, this is a no brainer. For anyone else, I highly recommend you to give it a try. The game is really cheap and those vortexes won’t destroy themselves!

Vortex Attack stays true to the genre’s roots, which may or may not be a great success. Both veteran and new players of arcade shooters will love the game’s explosive frantic action but the lack of randomization in enemies and mechanics may lead to a daunting gameplay experience. A good variation of enemies, vessels and colorful backdrops do make up for it and the new game mechanic of trying to implode vortices certainly kicks the gameplay experience up a notch. All-in-all, Vortex Attack is a great addition to the retro arcade-like space shooter games.

Vortex Attack modernizes the classic Galaga formula with fast and addicting gameplay while staying true to the genre’s roots.

Si de verdad te gustan los juegos de naves espaciales, o eres un amante de lo nostálgico, este es tu juego. Tanto su sencillez como su música sabrán encandilarte a la perfección mientras su curva exponencial de dificultad aumenta a cada fase que avanzas, e incluso si tienes amigos no tendrás que dejarlos aparcados si te entran ganas de echar una partida más.

Vortex Attack es un shooter de la vieja escuela. Tiene todo lo que debe tener un buen arcade de recreativa: es fácil de jugar, tiene un buen sistema de puntuación, es difícil y es terriblemente adictivo. Además nos ofrece un número altísimo de extras, logros y los modos multijugador y torneo. Es una compra obligada para todos los fans de los shooter y para todos los que se perdieron aquella época dorada de las recreativas.

Por poco menos de cinco euros tendremos un título arcade que quiere parecerse a los grandes matamarcianos de los años 80. Por desgracia, a pesar de que jugablemente no es nada malo, sus primeros niveles pecan de una dificultad irrisoria (a pesar que los últimos sean un auténtico desafío), su apartado sonoro se queda a medias tintas y gráficamente es soso. Aún así, si eres fan de este tipo de juegos, poco más se le puede pedir por su precio.
