Zeropyian Invasion is a Retro Style Arcade Atari like space shooter. It really takes the best things you love about classics like "Space Invaders" and "Galaga" and improves on them and combines them into one really complete and fun title. each level has 1 bit color enemies that change color and abilities as you advance. Some dive at you, block with shields, fire webs at you just a bunch of things to make each level feel different. One my favorite things about the game is the bosses. each one is totally different and unforgettable. last time i felt like this about a space shooter boss was prob "Life Force" or "Gradius" There is a giant spider, a alien in a UFO, a barrier even comes to life and attacks you. They are just so fun and unique. It isn't overly difficult either especially when you have unlimited continues. When you die it takes you back to the last bonus level . So if you die on a boss you may have to do a couple levels over to get back to it. There are also several powerups. One is a shield, one gives you ability to fire multiple shots, and one increases movement speed. 

The game looks great it even has a CT option if you want to play it with the retro look as well. It runs really smooth as well I experienced no difficulties. Controls were spot on. I loved the different chiptune music on each level really takes you back, and some of the best I've heard in one of these retro clones. Ratalaika usually delivers, but this might be one of their best. It really feels like a Atari game, while still feeling really fresh. As always the Achievements and Trophies are super easy. If you can get to level 7 more than likely you will have them all. I had them all in around 8 to 10 minutes probably, but don't stop there it is well worth continuing on. Please comment if you grab this and play it. Love to hear from some fellow retro game lovers, and how they felt about this one.

Pros: Feels very Retro
Runs smooth
Cool looking enemies and bosses
Awesome Music
Fun and easy Achievements
Always great pricing

Cons: None, would liked to see them clone some other arcade classics though, and make a arcade classics game with a bunch of different type clones. Maybe they will read this , and think about it.

Overall: 8.1 Everything you love about the classic space shooters of the arcade and Atari rolled into one amazing clone. If your a fan of the genre this one is a can't miss for you.
