A couple of days ago, we talked about Sega re-mastering their classic arcade game Zaxxon and releasing it for the modern times as Zaxxon Escape. Well, in prompt fashion, the game has now landed on Google Play to appease your arcade gaming needs.
In the game, your goal is to escape Zaxxon’s city. The city is laced with asteroids, and the Zaxxon minions have transformed it into a maze of tight corridors. Your job is to fly your ship out to safety. The game is actually kind of an endless flyer, in the sense that the gameplay is infinite. You earn Z-coins in each mission that can help you get power ups.
Zaxxon Escape Features:
– INFINITE GAMEPLAY. EVOLVED: Swipe your desired direction, blast away force fields with missiles and tilt your device to steer through obstacles
– POWER UP YOUR SHIP: Use in game currency to activate Power Ups and Level Ups. Auto Pilot and Light Speed Boost give you a head start. Initiate a Cloaking Device to help shield your ship from destruction. Use Tractor Beams to attract all the Z-coins you encounter.
– OTHER FEATURES: Complete over 30 game objectives. vRace as optional ships available for upgrade
Among other things, the game graphics are now rendered in full 3D and you get to pilot your ship in a 3rd person perspective. If you’ve been a fan of the original Zaxxon from 30 years ago, or even if you’re not familiar with that game, Zaxxon Escape looks like a good buy, and it will set you back by a more than reasonable $0.99.
