The entire game is shown on a single screen. Ultratron does support local co-op so you and your friend can achieve high scores on their own separate leaderboards. I just found myself trying to last as long as possible, more than achieving the high score. Fruit will appear on screen at times to increase your high score as well.Īs the attraction of the game is score chasing, I never seemed to worry about my points, as my multiplier was lost many times after getting hit. If you want to achieve higher scores or progress through the levels, you’ll need to find these Spidroids. Golden bots known as Spidroids grant more powerful upgrades such as rapid-fire or shots that bounce off walls. This is mostly for high score chasers, but if you can achieve a “perfect” in these stages, you’ll be rewarded with some extra cash to spend on upgrades. Special stages occur here and there and include trying to dodge enemies or shoot fast moving enemies before they escape off screen. Humanity can be avenged at level 40, but after that the game becomes even tougher and you’re out to survive as long as you can.

Each game of Ultratron played starts at the beginning, unless you have gotten a checkpoint which happens at every ten levels, up to level 30. Some of the other abilities are helpful, but when I’m trying to get a high score, abilities like health and immediate support were more important to me. I tended to gravitate toward replenishing my health and upgrading bots to help me in battle.

There is much more than just those abilities, but I never found myself wanting to venture out and upgrade crazier new abilities like one that allowed you to pick up money from a farther distance. Other upgrades can include buying more health (shields) for the battledroid, smart bombs that can completely clear the level of enemies and even a boost that allows you to escape oncoming danger even faster. These bots can be upgraded with additional money as well. Money can be used to purchase upgrades such as pets that can take a hit for you or attack other enemies. When you shoot enemies, you’ll collect money and earn points that work toward the high score. Ultratron is a twin-stick shooter that is pretty simple to pick up. The game isn’t super complex, and don’t expect to find a wide range of modes, but what is here should be enough to satisfy fans new and old. As you complete levels and destroy enemy battledroids, you’ll obtain money that can be used to upgrade many various attributes of the mechanical droid. Your mission is to avenge the human race, all while trying to obtain the highest score. Robots have enslaved humanity and the brain of the last human has been implanted into an upgradable battledroid. Ultratron plays like an old-school arcade game where high scores and power-ups matter.
