The first difference is that the difficulty is pitched far more fairly than Midway’s hateful original and enemies here drop coins that can be used to purchase a lot of different upgrades. Where Titan Attacks struggled with the weight of Space Invaders‘ crushingly dull gameplay template, Ultratron manages to be fun, something that Robotron never got right (need any other classics shat on? I’m here all day).

It has already been around on Steam for a couple of years but has since arrived on PS4, PS3 and the Vita as a cross-buy, and cross-save, title and it feels just about at home on these devices. Thankfully, as far as retro-themed shooters go, this is a good one. Much like Titan Attacks, the game has a cartoony look with simplistic, neo-retro visuals that straddle the gap between flashiness and clarity quite well but with a definitely low-budget feel that may alienate players who are a bit bored of the retro revival that indie developers seem so tied to these days. Much like that game, Ultratron is top down, twin-sticker that is set in single screen arenas that are patrolled by all sorts of mechanical bastards. This time the inspiration is the granddaddy of the twin-stick shooter genre, Robotron 2048. That was partially because it stuck a little too close to Space Invaders which, classic status aside, was never a particularly fun game to play. Ultratron, by Puppy Games, is an arcade shoot ‘em up that follows on from their Space Invaders-inspired Titan Attacks, a game we didn’t particularly rate.
