Debris Infinity, a simple but good retro game

 

SVG Games is a Spanish video game developer led by Sergio del Valle, who has developed everything from small projects to this Debris Infinity. Debris Infinity was released digitally on both Switch and Xbox One for €4.99. It was originally released on PC and has even made its way to Japan thanks to Shinyuden. Without further ado, let's start talking about Debris Infinity for Xbox One:

This game focuses solely and entirely on gameplay and is divided into 3 modes. Before talking about the modes, let's talk about the game itself. Debris Infinity takes us back to the days of arcade games with a more open-ended, spaceship-style gameplay where you'll have to destroy countless energy balls and enemies with your various powers. You'll have a health bar and a special attack bar that will explode all enemies on screen. You'll also be given several different types of weapons depending on the combos you make.

There are 3 game modes: Normal mode is the classic arcade-style mode where we will have to defeat the most energy balls and enemies to get the best score in the world, thanks to the online leaderboards; Time Attack mode will have us playing giving our 110% for 3:00 to get the best score and dodge the enemies because they will make us lose many points from those we get and finally, the third mode is Power Wave where enemies will attack us infinitely and we will have to get the highest score. On the other hand, there is also a 2-player local mode, both cooperative and VS.

After talking about the gameplay, it's time to talk about the soundtrack, which is quite perfect for the game's style, as the developer has tried to recreate that special feeling that the retro music of the old arcade space games gave us. There's also a presenter who tells us about level-ups, game overs, and other things that happen on the screen, helping us know how we're doing while we're focused on the game itself.

The graphics are so visual that we'll see bright colors all over the screen while we fight against the different enemies, and we'll really enjoy these visual effects.

Ultimately, Debris Infinity is a game that brings us from the past of spaceships and arcades to the future of consoles and PCs in a game that's not only fun but also visually very pleasing, as if we were playing a remake of those games.

In addition, the game's soundtrack and effects are so well designed that it feels like we've traveled back in time and are playing a classic spaceship game in an arcade. On the other hand, the simplicity of the era it attempts to replicate will also greatly affect whether we want a complete experience, so keep that in mind.
