Blastian – Review

Blastian is a new title from the hit iPhone app developers Connect2Media. Blastian is a new old school space shooter in which the galaxy is over-run with aliens. The player has the job of saving the day from the aliens. Starting out as a lowly ensign, it is your job to defend the universe, and blast your way through the galaxy going past nine planets and whole host of enemies from the evil insectoid Xacti empire’s forces.

Starting at Pluto the player battles these evil monstrosities in every planet in this solar system known to date, ending with Earth (it isn’t done in the correct order, the gaming order is: Pluto, Neptune, Uranus, Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, Venus, Mercury and then Earth). You must fly through the universe, armed with lots of great weapons which help you on your mission. What are these weapons? Well, they include: mega-blasters, smart bombs, plasma cannon, orbiting shields and the mighty Beserk!

The game reminds me of a retro old style space invaders game with similarities to other applications from the iTunes App Store such as Space Deadbeef. Although there are similarities between the iPhone applications Blastian offers some unique features which definitely set it head and shoulders above its competitors. For example, the app offers top scrolling visceral thrills which really make it one not to miss.

The game, like so many others, offers some great key features – although unlike most games, it really does have some real uniqueness. Feast your eyes on the following features which you won’t find anywhere else – or if you do, not to such an amazing extent: – Tilt controls and flip escape feature make the game unique and easy to control, – Nine levels based over the planets of the solar system with different stages in each level, – Arsenal of weapons including Smart bombs, Photon Weapons, Mega Blasters and Pulsars and even – Save the world to your own soundtrack with access to your own music library.

If you want a great application for your iDevice, then this is definitely a must have! For only £1.79 it is an absolute must have. If that isn’t enough to convince you to download this app then surely the thought that your monetary investment is safe with a great developer like Connect2Media, who you can guarantee will continuously update this amazing game, so you can be sure to get value for money. With some great games like: 365 Solitaire Club, Boulder Dash®-ROCKS!™, Sid Meier’s Civilisation: Defenders Of The Gates, Edge, PES 2010, Ski Jumping 2010, String ‘Em In ®, Tumblebugs WPT®: Texas Hold ‘Em 2, Guitar Hero® World Tour Mobile and The Dog under their belt, you really know you can expect great value and quality. 10/10!
