A remake of Breakout

The grandfather of brick-breaking games is back with some of the toughest challenges yet! Breakout: Recharged steps up the excitement with a fresh coat of paint, exciting power-ups, and another original soundtrack from award-winning video game composer Megan McDuffee. Breakout: Recharged will forever change what you expect from a brick-breaking title. The endless arcade mode and 50 challenge levels will push you to the limit of your skills. Don’t fret, however, as this wouldn’t be a Recharged title without game-changing powerups. Expect the aid of rail guns, homing missiles, and explosives to join the traditional multi-ball. You’ll need every tool in the arsenal and razor-sharp reflexes to climb the global leaderboards.

Advice to game developers, where possible control options and customization are always welcome for comfort and accessibility no matter how good the other aspects of your game are. Making a modern version of Breakout with power ups, vector visuals, music, bells and whistles is most welcome. What isn't though is not being able to use the d-pad (or even having the option) and being forced to use loose analog stick only inputs. This is a game that requires precise left and right movement along an X axis as it's only mechanic so no option for d-pad control is a bafflingly bad design decision.

If you can get past that glaring flaw though there is a fun game here in short bursts putting a shine on a simple arcade fun title from 1976.

It's breakout with extra power-ups and light bullet-hell elements. Overall it's a breezy run through the game's single player challenges, and it's as fun as breakout ever is/was. However, among the extremely simple challenges, one or two create such a difficulty spike the game becomes insufferable. The challenge level "firefight" undid a near decade of anger management therapy. I'm a worse person now, and I have Breakout Recharged to thank for that.
