Windows Phone Game Review: Radiant

Radiant

If you similar retro games yous're going to get a kick out of the Windows Phone game Radiant. Radiant has enjoyed success on other platforms and based on playing the game for a few days, it should have like success on the Windows Telephone platform.

Radiant comes across as a combination between Space Invaders, Galaga, and Asteroids. Add the pixilated graphics and you become an 1980's arcade feel with Radiant (and that's not a bad affair).

The main menu for Radiant has options to start the game, access the online leaderboards, tweak the settings, and view the programmer'south about screen.

Radiant has three levels of play; Casual, Survival and Hardcore. Add 100+ gaming levels, over x boss fights, 6 upgradable weapons, and twelve special power ups and Radiant has plenty of gaming to keep you busy.

The story line has yous taking a stand up against an invading conflicting horde by taking the fight to them in your starship. Controls are elementary in that you press the left side of the screen to move your starship to the left. Press the right side of the screen to move correct. Your starship fires automatically. The conflicting hordes tin cause damage to your starship by either their lasers or ramming into you.Radiant gives yous three lives and when those are all gone, game over.

The conflicting hordes comes at you in waves and as an added challenge, some levels of play have yous dodging giant asteroids. Along the way yous earn cash that can be used to upgrade your starship's weapons. If you tap and hold your starship, a menu will pop up displaying which weapons upgrades you take available. Merely tap on the icon and your in business.

My only knock is that you can't control your starship'southward fire rate. Calculation a burn command push may brand things a picayune too hard to manage though. The old arcade games fabricated it easy. One mitt controlled the joystick, the other kept tapping the fire push button. I wouldn't heed seeing the charge per unit increase though or maybe utilize the accelerometer to control move and add a burn push button?

Regardless of the control layout,Radiant is an entertaining game for your Windows Phone. Game play and advent has a retro experience without feeling antiquated plus there's an addictive quality to the game.Radiant will help yous laissez passer the time and satisfy that itch when you're simply in the mood to play a video game.
