If you owned a mobile phone in the early 2000s, Breakout: Recharged might trigger a bit of nostalgia. Versions of this classic block-breaking game tended to feature in some form or another on various devices. Even consoles and PCs saw incarnations of the game. It was one of those things that we could just pick up and play to pass the time, not even thinking about critiquing the title as a video game.

Well, Breakout: Recharged is bringing the game back into the fray as a modern, polished title. Are we thrilled that it's making a comeback? Probably not, but it could be one of those games worth investing in purely for the fact that it's so easy to pick up and play. Let's look at Breakout: Recharged and see if it does just that.

Smashy Smashy Blocks

If there's one thing you can say about Breakout: Recharged is that it's addictive. Should you have played any version of this game before, you'll probably already know that.

You may also have guessed that nothing has inherently changed in mechanics or gameplay. Except that the visuals have been refined, there are some added features to align with the internet's age.

Still, Breakout: Recharged is fun. Players will use their railed platforms at the bottom of the screen to bounce a ball off and break a full-screen of blocks, overcoming obstacles like explosives and walls in the process. There are over 50 levels to pass, each with its unique set of challenges, never losing the fun factor even though the core mechanics never shift.

So what are the modern features that make Breakout: Recharged different from the rest of the offers? It's one of the first versions to encourage online competitiveness. You can play with a friend in co-op and battle for the highest number of points. Or you can share your skills around the world, racking up points and climbing the ladder on the global leaderboard.

Really, Breakout: Recharged redelivers where it left off. That's just fine, though. There's only so much you can do with a game with elementary mechanics. While it won't be a game that sits at the top of everyone's must-have list. It's certainly worth a download for those days when you just want a casual game to play that doesn't send you on an emotional rollercoaster.

Break Out of the Grind

The nice thing about Breakout: Recharged is that it stays true to itself. It's a game that will not incorporate some vast narrative or wild game modes where there simply doesn't need to be. The game has been created as an outlet to merely break the grind. It doesn't require any emotional or heavy mental investment.

It's got the same feel as Centipede: Recharged - a classic game only ever so slightly reimagined. All it wants to do is make a decent game into the modern-day. It's not going to get anyone really excited, nor is it going to pack gameplay thrills. But it's a nice thing to have among your game library.
