Titan Attacks is a very competent shooter in the vein of the arcade classic Space Invaders. You are fixed to the bottom of the screen, only able to move left and right. The enemy formation starts at the top, slowly descending toward the bottom and will kill the player if not destroyed before making it all the way down. You are only able to fire one projectile at a time, so aiming your shots is very crucial and as the enemies get faster you'll have to lead your shots. Between stages you can use your points as currency to purchase upgrades to your shields, gun power, ammo, bombs and add-ons. The graphics are presented in that blocky-pixel style that is all the rage in these indie games, but they're done quite well in this game. Titan Attacks is good old-school fun and if you don't feel like shelling out the $5-10 Taito is likely asking for the Space Invaders titles this, this makes a nice alternative while delivering a similar experience.
Final Verdict: Fans of Space Invaders will definitely enjoy Titan Attacks! The game provides good, simple fun and is available on a wide variety of platforms.
