Best version since the original

Critical Mass has undergone a lot of versions since the original back in the 90s. This is the first that I think is better than the original, with a tight roster of well-balanced ships, and battles that don’t scale so grand that you feel like a cog.

Where the game does slip is in failing to end missions once you leave. I don’t need to spend several minutes watching the enemy slowly win, or be beaten back. Just let me skip to a defeat screen and get on with actually playing the game.

Missing mute for audio?

The game is great. The only thing I do t like is that it is missing the mute for the audio.

Tolles Spiel!

Wer auf alte 2D-PC-Spiele steht, die zwar einfach, aber genial durchdacht sind, kommt hier voll auf seine Kosten. Immer wieder gut, auch nach Jahren.

Love this game!

I first got this game as a shareware title in the 90’s, I think on an issue of PCGamer.

Played it for months. Then somehow found it on iOS a few year ago and have been playing it on and off ever since.

Love this game. It’s not modern but its a simple, addictive concept that just works really well.

At almost 30 years, this has to be the longest a game has kept me engaged. Well done!!!
