Last month, Atari announced that four of their classic games would release on Stadia thanks to their Recharged remakes. The first title that released was Centipede: Recharged, which released on Stadia and Stadia Pro on July 1st. Feel free to check out our review of the game.
We still have yet to see three of the games announced last month. Today, however, Atari has announced that Yars: Recharged is coming to all consoles, including Stadia, later this year. This makes five Recharged games releasing this year on Stadia, alongside with Kombinera, another game by Atari.
The new game marks Atari’s return to the Yars universe, originally based on Howard Scott Warshaw’s cult classic Yars’ Revenge. Released in 1982, Yars’ Revenge made gaming history by becoming the best-selling original Atari title on the Atari 2600. Yars: Recharged extends the legacy of this iconic franchise and gives fans an opportunity to experience an expanded, modern take on the concepts introduced by the original.
Key Features:
Boss Rush: Experience a nearly endless barrage of enemies. Three hits and you die, but don’t worry! The hit-count resets when moving to the next round.
Mission Mayhem: Mission mode features 30 unique, challenging bosses and only one life to beat each. Take bosses head-on with a barrage of bullets, or opt for a different strategy and start with the smaller, Minor Cores first.
Juiced-Up Power-Ups: Minor Cores will drop power-ups when destroyed. Shoot in all directions at once, utilize rapid-fire, blast with explosive shots, or fire a railgun – the nature of the power-up is tied to the nature of the core that dropped it. <
Co-op with a Co-Pilot: Featuring local co-op in both arcade and mission mode, partner up with a pal and take on the hordes of enemy fighters
