SCREENSHOTS
HISTORY
Titan Attacks! is a fixed shooter video game developed and published by Puppy Games and released on March 13, 2006 for Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux. It was also published by Curve Studios and released on May 6, 2014 for PS3, PS4 and Vita, on February 26, 2015 for 3DS, and on September 17, 2016 for Android.
The game received mixed reviews from critics, commending its art style and addictiveness but citing its small amount of content and problems with the 3DS port of the game. It was followed by a sequel, Revenge of the Titans, in 2010.
Gameplay
Titan Attacks! is heavily based on Space Invaders in overall format, but more fast-paced than the latter game. The player controls a tank and must shoot at enemies moving back and forth at the top of the screen, who sometimes shoot back with lasers and bombs.
The player also collects money, which they can use to buy tank upgrades to increase the power of their tank. This includes a more powerful gun and defensive energy that protects the player from attacks.
Plot
The player is the last surviving tank commander on Earth, and must defend the planet from an onslaught of aliens from the moon Titan.
Reception
The game received mixed reviews from critics, and holds an aggregate score of 74/100 for the PS4 version on Metacritic.
Colin Moriarty of IGN rated the game 74/100, calling the game "unapologetically old-school" and a "fun time-waster", though he criticized the fact that it didn't attempt to break any new ground.
Wesley Copeland of Pocket Gamer UK gave the game a score of 7/10, saying it still feels "fresh and inventive" despite its old-school design, and adds new twists to the Space Invaders formula.
The 3DS version of the game received lower review scores, with an aggregate score of 64/100 on Metacritic. Jonathan Town of Nintendo Life called the game's "vibrant" graphics "muted and dulled down" by the smaller screen of the 3DS, while also criticizing its lack of stereoscopic 3D and framerate drops during intense moments. Dan Koopman of Nintendo World Report gave the game 7/10 and called it a "loving Space Invaders tribute", but also criticized the lack of visual quality, and framerate lag.

“Titan Attacks! is a fantastic SHMUP that packs nostalgia in spades, yet feels fierce, fresh and fun in the execution. Gorgeous visuals, addictive upgrades and unpredictable enemies bring Space Invaders bang up to date in style.”
“Titan Attacks is a seriously addictive spin on a classic video game formula that'll keep you playing beyond your first run through its one hundred stages. From the upgrade system – which at first glance appears to be a minor inclusion, but quickly reveals hidden depths – to the combo counter that encourages you to play intelligently, every mechanic is part of a greater gameplay jigsaw that makes this homage worth invading the PlayStation Store for.”
“Titan Attacks is an enjoyable ode to Space Invaders, and a good way to waste some time on PS3, PS4, and Vita.”
“Titan Attacks is a solid take on a classic arcade game that is a blast to play.”
“Titan Attacks is a fan service to space-invading brethren of old, but strip away the charm and flattery and you are left with an antiquated, short-lived experience that facilitates just a tinge of classic fun.”
“Almost as simple as a shooter can get, Puppygames' space blaster owes its success to our inability to be satisfied by a personal best. The premise and genre make more sense on the Vita than the PS4 (though options are always nice to have), but Titan Attacks is charmingly simple and hugely playable on any format.”
“Once those 100 levels have been conquered and the final Titan humbled, there's very little reason to fire the game up again other than the occasional mindless blast, which can be extended to infinity on account of the fact that the only thing left to spend all that amassed cash on is additional lives. It's also unfortunate that at this particular moment in time near enough every retro flavoured shooter that hits the market will inevitably get compared to Resogun, which has set the bar incredibly high.”
“Titan Attack is based on a tribute to Space Invaders but includes several contemporary innovations. While the game is long and entertaining enough, the 3DS conversion needed more work and its price is too exaggerated for what the game provides.”
“Titan Attacks! is pure service to Space Invaders fans but feels lacking when put up against other reimagined retro titles such as Space Invaders Infinity. For everyone else though, if you strip away the minor gameplay tweaks and admittedly beautiful HD pixel visuals, you're left with a game which ultimately appears a little too antiquated once the nostalgia has worn away.”
