Bandai Namco and Paladin Studio's Galaga Wars [] is a great modern remake of Namco's classic arcade shoot 'em up Galaga. Utilizing modern 3D graphics and new features like multiple playable ships, Galaga Wars does a great job at retaining the essence of the original, which isn't always the case when older classics get the modern treatment. We really enjoyed Galaga Wars , and this week a new update has arrived which features another of Namco's classic gaming icons: Pac-Man.
A new Pac-Man ship can be unlocked via collecting special credits through playing or outright for a $4.99 IAP and sees you controlling the iconinc yellow sphere as he shoots power pellets at incoming enemies, which of course are now the famous ghosts from Pac-Man. I always wondered what Pac-Man needed to munch all those pellets for, and decades later we now have an answer: To spew them right back out like bullets. In addition to changing up the playable ship and enemies, the Pac-Man ship also offers a new background to play in which call back to the mazes of the original Pac-Man.
The Pac-Man ship also comes equipped with 4 new special abilities which allow you to grow big and gobble up the ghosts, shoot pellets that bounce around the screen, deploy a mine that will blow when an enemy gets close, and a shockwave that surrounds Pac-Man and destroys enemies that get too close. If you aren't anxious to drop five bucks on unlocking Pac-Man right away, you can also unlock him by battling against new enemies called Maples which you can track from the sector map and will give you a special credit upon defeating them. It's a very cool update for a very cool game that's become a go-to for me since its release last November, so give Galaga Wars a shot and check out this neat new Pac-Man crossover.
