Asteroids Recharged Review (Xbox Series S)
For this Asteroids Recharged Review, we look back at The original space shooter as it warps into the modern era! Asteroids: Recharged has been reimagined for modern gameplay, with vibrant visuals, powerful new abilities, and another original soundtrack from award-winning video game composer Megan McDuffee. A brand new set of power-ups — including spread shots, rail guns, reflector shields, and much more — helps players stave off splintering asteroids and aggressive UFOs. Co-op play lets you play with a friend, and ramps up the intensity as players do their best to coordinate and survive.

Summary
Asteroids has always been regarded as a classic, the recharged version is more of the classic gameplay but with set challenges chucked in on top and local two player Co – op. It’s pretty much what you would expect, shoot rocks collect power ups and survive, its the same game but with a fresh lick of paint. I would have liked to see more from the series but the challenges is more than enough to keep you going. Overall Asteroids Recharged is a faithful redo of a classic.
