Pixel gladiator – 16 bit action movie and base

Walking in the Steam space, sometimes, you can see such an interesting little games. They are something like small. So, you even can to not to notice them. You need to spent hours to sit and watch what is in the list in Steam. But, it happens, that you can find! And, this is a very happy cool moment! Some kind of small and funny game. Thematical. There are lots of them. But, only you need to do – it is a search. And, so, I have found, exactly, something this way!

Before your eyes, something like style 16 bit action movie. With style of retro games. Some arcades from the past. Pixel gladiator. This is action. Style of defense your territory. You have a base. And you need to upgrade it and defend. From aliens. There are some mutants. I don’t know. Cthulhu. I don’t know who. Flying eyes, beholders. Monsters different. So, from them. Your base in the center. And from the left and from the right monsters are goes.

And, you are by yourself in a space suit. Like a stormtrooper from the future. Runs the map. And shoot. Jumps high. So, you are doing active things to defense a base too.

Game is going by the waves. Waves with enemies. Later, you can do upgrade yourself. Base and yourself. To buy yourself a new weapon. Something like flying shoes, for example. You can setup a wall for your base. And monsters will try to destroy the wall. To setup there a machineguns, lasers. And these will do damage to the monsters. Until they gone. And, they are, already, caught in a fire.

And, this has interesting feature. I do not understand it at first. So, here, there are video cameras. And you need to destroy enemies in a field of camera`s view. Not far from the base. Almost, at the end of the screen. And, in this case, you will get income. And, using this funds, you can do upgrades for yourself and the base. And so, this game is goes by waves.

Here, you have suggested with three arenas. First one - it is most simple. And next – more tricky. First - it is simply a base at the surface, like Earth or some planet. Fantastic. Second – everything is hovering in the air. And you need to jump a lot. In the clouds. So, it is, already, much harder! I, by myself, complete first arena. 10 waves. And, a big boss! Really big one, as you can remember from 8 and 16 bits games. And he has big life bar. He is not hard, but there are lots of routine. And, you can do mistakes and get lose after that point!

Game is very interesting. For a fans of 8 and 16 bits games. So, a nostalgia. With graphics. It is here pixelated. Beautiful pixels. And this is like tower defense. And, same time, it is like action. Your character moves very fast. As in action movies or Sega or Nes. Two in one. Fantastic action movie, two dimensional.  With pixels. And, it plays rather like action. You are running all over the base. From the left, and opposite, from the right. And, from one side - it is now less enemies. So, run to the other side – there are lots of them there, now. And, these actions, all over the time. You all time in a move.

There are good amount of upgrades as for base as for player. Flamethrower, something speed, like blaster rifle. Flying shoes. Upgrades health. It is very interesting to get them. Two modes for shooting. Left and right mouse buttons. Different monsters. And funny drawn mutants. Big and small. Flying and that can walk. And base. You need to build a wall. And enemies try to break it. And big turrets you set or machineguns, lasers. You automatically destroy enemies. These things shoot by themselves. With a distance.

Not bad. Entertaining. Retro game. To shoot, to upgrade base. And pixels graphics. Unexpected and so cool thing to dig videogame! It will be so nice, if in Steam – to show more such games. And not only top games solutions from a big cool firms. Such small games – they are rather good and interesting.
