Retaliate challenges you to an intergalactic adventure where strategy meets action, and your enemies' weapons become your greatest asset. Unlike shooters of the past featuring infinite ammo and upgrades, Retaliate offers the ability to use your shield to not only destroy your enemies but also to absorb their weapons, which in turn can be used for retaliation! Ultimately, your objective is to discover who has seized control of all the weapons in the galaxy and bring their reign of terror to an end!


Retaliate incorporates a host of cool features adding to the intense gameplay: in the games Story Mode you play with a limited number of lives with high possibility of getting wiped out! Endless Mode requires dexterity, precision and talent to obtain the highest possible score using just a singe life, while Trials Mode dares you to tackle a specific set of challenges. And finally, the Classic Mode offers the realized version of the original proof-of-concept (mobile) game which started it all almost five years ago. Become the ultimate space hero by obtaining your personal copy of the game today.
