Agalag Review

Pros: graphics, sound, gameplay, very polished, loads of unlockables and trophies
Cons: O_O for some reason my quicksave was corrupted and i lost my progress T_T
Awesome game. Weird name.
graphics-
the graphics in this game are very nice. When you get to the menu the smooth title animation was great, and it continued ingame. The ships looked nice, and the background was good and easy on the eye. The sliding effect of the ship icons was awesome too. The particle effects could've been customised but meh.
sound-
the sound was all around good. The music wasn't distracting, and the sound effects were good and fitting. I really liked the sound of the player putting in a quarter, sounded like real.
gameplay-
The gameplay in this game is great. You play as a "alien overlord" that must destroy the player. (a swap around on normal arcade games). You must use strategy to set up your alien army to destroy the player. You have a large amount of choice in the game. Do you buy cheap little ships with low chance of hurting the player or expensive but well worth it ships that could be destroyed just after being deployed? As you are playing you unlock new ships and back in the menu there are unlockables and trophies to attain. I think a good idea would be to have a unit which slowly generates money (i dont know if there is one though, as the quicksave was corrupted). The player gets harder to kill, but the game gives you enough chance with the new units to defend yourself.
Story-I don't think there is one, but the inclusion of a tutorial and the fact that this is an arcade game gets you 3 stars for this :D
Interface- The menus are great and quite easily navigated, the game HUD is easy to understand and uncluttered, and i didn't notice any lag.
Overall-Overall, a very nice game SoulRed. A very polished game which will likely get a staff pick.

P.S: What does Agalag mean?

Also, that's strange that your quicksave was corrupted. I just tried the game myself and it didn't give me that problem. Are you sure you were playing the latest version?
