Developed by Taito and published by North America, Space Invaders Extreme arrived on the Nintendo DS as a shooter.
It is part of the Space Invaders series; on the DS you can also try Space Invaders Extreme 2. The series also appears on other systems with Space Invaders (2600) and Space Invaders (NES). Taito also made LostMagic, Arkanoid and Arkanoid DS for the DS.
Space Invaders Extreme supports up to 2 players, whether that means taking turns or going head-to-head.
Pick it if…
- you want to fight, blast and test your reflexes
- you have time for an evening or two (roughly 1–6 hours to see it through)
- you have a friend to play against
- you've played the DS hits and want something less obvious
Maybe skip it if…
- you are not a fan of fast-paced aiming and twitch reflexes
What playing Space Invaders Extreme is like
Shooters are built around aiming and firing, from first-person corridor blasters and light-gun games to run-and-gun stages and multidirectional arcade shooters.
Tip for newcomers: Retro shooters were designed for CRT TVs and original controllers; light-gun games in particular need special hardware or alternative controls on modern screens.
