You are the one remaining humanoid battle droid. Your mission: avenge the human race. Boost your battledroid with power-ups, buy cute but deadly pets in the shop. Blast your way through 40-plus glowing neon levels, avoiding Chasers, Turrets, Spawners, Minelayers, bombs, and bullets, and take on the four giant boss 'bots of the Apocalypse - Ieiunitas, Bellum, Lues and Letum. Ultratron is a homage to the 80s arcade machines of years past. The game hails from developer Puppygames and combines the captivating experience of an old-school Robotron-esque arcade shooter with a unique retro-futuristic soundtrack and slick, stylised graphics, complete with simulated CRT-curve. With unique retro-futuristic sound and graphics, player responsive difficulty and a subtle system of tactics combined with classic gameplay, Ultratron is a fun and hypnotic arcade blast which has already thrilled players on Steam - indeed, with its 92 per cent positive user rating, it's regarded as one of the best examples of the genre.

Comments ) Looks like a twin-stick take on the formula in Titan Attacks--and I did enjoy that one, but I love twin stick shooters. Modern, updated Robotron style game? I'm all for that. Count me in! I'm a sucker for twin sticks shooters and this looks ace. YESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYES! YES! Thank you now where is the modern Gradius or Life force, Contra, Castlevania etc... Damn Konami Love shooters like this. Very cool. Now only if they could get the rights to have Bender make a guest appearance. Looks cool. Looks cool, but now I really want Nintendo to release Smash TV for the SNES. Now THAT was a fun game!!! YES. This is important. Well this came out of nowhere for me. Day one!
Looks fantastic. Oh and it might just be me, but I love the look of the fruit in this game.
Takes me back to the good old days of playing Pacman and Bubble Bobble in the arcade. And now I'm going to play geometry wars wii. One of my fav games to release ever. Rather misleading article title for a brand new game. I'll be picking this up it looks great and the wii u could do with more shooters. This might be awesome, Never played Robotron, but I played Geometry Wars Galaxies a lot. robotron 2084 in my top 20 video games all time!! Still today, one of the most intense games ever! Still makes my palms sweaty!! If you have a ps3 or 360 you can grab it with the Midway Arcade Origins disc which also has a bunch of other great classics!! You owe it to yourself to check it out! Warning: challenging game though! Cool!! I'd rather have Robotron 2084 but will check this out!! I actually have this on PC, it's very very good. Looks awesome.... I'm in!
