User Reviews for Missile Command: Recharged

One of the best mobile games!

Addictive simple yet brilliant gameplay. Quick games, perfect for the medium. As far as being an updated arcade classic it's just right, with the nice flourish of the vector graphic aesthetic (which the original arcade game was not but that's okay here) refined even more strikingly. This game works particularly well by touch and actually improves upon the original's controls. It's right up there with Atari's Asteroids mobile remake. While not the case for console games, the best arcade games are exceedingly simple and that's where their elusive brilliance lies. Mobile is similar, as the platform is not conducive to longer or more complex play.

The definitive Missile Command experience

With one minor aggravating bug, this game runs fast and crazy fun on my iPad, a perfect “bite-sized” game for short breaks during the day. It’s fast-paced, exciting, and has the perfect IAP model (no ads, three plays without paying and then pay or wait for more). There is nothing about this game that someone who played the original in 1980 wouldn’t recognize and appreciate. Great job Atari! Now fix the “Rapid” bug.

More fun without the trackball!

Great update of the old classic, well worth ponying up for the IAP. Yes, there are significant strategic gameplay differences: unlimited missiles instead of the coin-op’s limited stockpile which forced you to be choosey about firing; no way to pick which specific base of the 3 to fire from; and no levels. But I’m happy without those to get solid touchscreen play. I only wish the action didn’t ramp up quite so fast, I’d like an Easy setting for a slower-paced round. Otherwise it’s lots of nostalgic fun!

Great Remake!

Atari’s been staying alive over the last 30 years mostly by cashing in on their last success. A lot of their remakes seemed unnecessary and in most cases weren’t as good as the original. Missile Command Recharged is an exception. Missile Command was one of my all time favorites so I was skeptical about this. I was wrong. It’s awesome. Very addictive and makes great use of the touch screen along with sharp, clean graphics. It’s worth downloading!

Reboot the Nuke

Like with any reimagined/updated arcade classic, there is a fine line that can be crossed where a new idea goes to far... or not far enough.MC:RECHARGED is a nice simplistic, vector graphic inspired, reboot of the classic Atari game. Gone is the cumbersome trackball to aim with, just touch and the missiles auto target that location.It’s actually brilliant game play wise, the new idea of the bunkers rebuilding themselves is great and the missile reload delay, also a nice touch. Meaning, no more limit to your ballistic stockpile... but the down side is once you get fully upgraded (which you can do rather quickly) that’s it. The game has no new missile types to offer or any other unlockables to strive for....and that VIRTUAL GAME CABINET feature, um, cool, for a minute. For the most part, it plays great but there’s no need to purchase the unlimited plays when it’s soo easy to play and get all the upgrades for free. I hope more updates to the game are in store to add more replay value, but for free this game is a literal blast!!

Great game ultimately crippled

I personally really liked this version of missle command. Played it a lot. Finally I maxed out all the weapons systems and then...well that’s it. You can still play, but why? You can earn points to oblivion, but useless to do so. I’m a soulless mercenary. I save people and I get fancy upgrades. No upgrades? Then a whole lot of innocent people are going to have atomic weapons morning, noon, and night. So Atari, it’s your call. Give me an incentive to play and civilians live. Most of them anyway. Refuse and you alone Atari will be responsible for the holocaust that follows. There is an AR feature that is good for about a minute of nostalgia if you are old enough to remember playing MC in the bars of your youth. I will raise yo 5 stars upon delivery of an expansion pack or an update. I also don’t expect this for free. I’m willing to pay.

Dave Theurer's Classic Arcade Game

I've been playing Missile Command in it's various incarnations since 1980, and it remains in my top 10 list of the greatest games of all time. The mobile version is actually quite playable, thanks to the phone's ubiquitous touch screen. The original used analog trackball control, which hasn't been very accurately reproduced in most other ports over the years. This version solves that problem and creates an addictive twitch mobile experience. I like it. I think Mr. Theurer would be pleased with the developer's homage to his classic arcade game. Great port.

Good

It’s a good game. It passes the time. Only problem I have with it is that I wish I could keep upgrading something or there was more too it after you maxed out the upgrades but luckily I haven’t reached that point yet but am very close. My major problem I have with it though is the fact that there are these power ups in the game, like the mega or the bomb. It’s a box that flies sideways and has a letter on it telling you it’s ability. I think there’s a glitch with the R one. It stands for Rapid but it doesn’t do anything and actually seems to give you a de-buff for a bit. Rapid failure is what it means. You reload lots slower with this power up I don’t get it. All the other letters help you in one way or another but this one hurts you but it says Rapid as if it was going to increase something but it doesn’t. There is one called fast already which makes your bullets really fast but I don’t know what rapid does other than the opposite of it’s name. I feel like it has to be a glitch and hope it is because I hate it so much.

great reboot of a great classic

The original is very simple and this new version is very simple. That is awesome! I saw a video review that explained you are able to pick which missile base to fire from in the computer version but I wish the developer could have figured out a way to do that with the touchscreen version. Otherwise I would give this 5 stars. ATTENTION DEVELOPER - maybe allow an option to select a missile base by touching the base first so that is the base a missile will fire from.

Just not as good as the original

Same idea just doesn’t translate to touch screen like you would think. I mean how perfect... just tap the screen where you want to shoot. No track ball needed! Except the trackball was only 1/2 of the controls. The other 1/2 was being able to pick which base you were shooting from. As it is now it the game picked which base and it seems to be random. Had an incoming middle and it was right on top of my right base. Tap a shot location to intercept and instead of firing from the right base... I get a shot from the left base that has ZERO chance of getting there in time. Great AI. If you are going to let the game pick which base a shot comes from, at least make it the base that creates the shortest distance between target and closest base. Whatever, deleted minutes after installing. Unfortunately don’t waste your time.
