Atari_JaguarVCS Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 Just picked the game up! Really looking forward to playing this later can’t believe it’s launched early. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mockduck Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 Yeah neat news. Immediate first impression is that while the gameplay fits with the classic arcade gravitar the general vibe is way more chill, and quite a bit more forgiving. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree and it results in the absolute best Recharged game to date. Things are looking good in VCS land as I can only imagine that Atari is going to step up their game even further in the next few Recharged games. Thanks Atari for including the Classic Joystick paddle/spinner ship rotation as it takes the game to a higher level of chill-awesomeness. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The spinner rotation on the classic joystick works great on Gravitar Recharged and is a truly unique experience that can't be done on any other platform. Would be cool if they added a Button only control option for those like you who would want to play it that way on a modern controller with the 4 face buttons and triggers only without using the Analog sticks. It might play pretty good that way too. I am all for control options, the more the better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+jgkspsx Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 I am almost done with the single-player challenges. What a great game. I am sad to say that based on the leaderboards not many are playing it… 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of the challenges so far is even very hard. They just require patience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a lot of trouble with Thrust O' Clock and Deep Space Mine but managed to complete them all a few days ago. I think it is my favorite Recharged title. You do have to be in the mood to play it, though, as it takes a lot of patience and is not as mindless as some of the other games in the series. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
