About

Reflex Guardian

Features
Read full description

In Reflex Guardian, your objective is to defend your base by destroying incoming creatures using color-matching weapon controls. As creatures approach, you must press the button on your control panel that matches the closest creature's color to destroy it. Stay alert, react quickly, and strategically use your power-ups. Special creatures, like Mutant Creatures, flash and require three hits to be destroyed, while Mega Creatures need multiple hits. The game ends when creatures reach your base or if you press the wrong color button more than three times.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Retro Tron at none against Reflex Guardian's 4. Retro Tron also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 3 months). Reflex Guardian's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.4). On price there is nothing between them.
