Review summary

Colossatron: Cosmic Crisis receives mixed reviews, with nostalgia and addictive shooting praised, but many players criticize the heavy paywalls, lack of content, and departure from the original game's style. Fans miss the unique gameplay and personality of Colossatron, as the game feels like a generic space shooter with insufficient levels and achievements. Although some appreciate its premium experience and potential as a prototype, the current state is seen as unfinished and disappointing by many.

Pros

Nostalgic appeal for fans of the original Colossatron game.
Addictive shooting gameplay that some players enjoy.
Free of ads and in-app purchases, providing a premium experience.
Potential for growth and improvement as a prototype or demo.
Powerful upgrades enhance the gameplay experience.

Cons

Game deviates significantly from the original Colossatron, disappointing long-time fans.
Excessive paywalls and subscription requirements limit gameplay time and enjoyment.
Lack of content, levels, chapters, and achievements makes the game feel incomplete and unpolished.
Gameplay is more like a generic space shooter or bullet hell, lacking originality and connection to Colossatron's unique style.
Difficulty balance issues cause frustration, and the game feels unfinished or more like a prototype.

2025-01-01	Ni*****	I wish that it doesn't force you to buy half brick plus unnecessary, cause I remember playing the first game before all this, when you wouldn't get booted after an hour of playtime because of a lack of subscription. This game especially is a shell of what it could have been as a sequel, instead, it was turned into one of the many top-down upgrade cashgrabs. I am deeply disappointed and believe that this is greed at play, ruining someone else's time.

2024-10-19	Da*****	I gave it 2 stars for nostalgia but that's all... Stay away from Half brick games; they'll bunbard you with false advertising.

2024-09-17	We*****	Boring and lazy. Lacking in everything that made the first game good, including originality. Not worth a subscription. Unpolished, feels like a college student's first attempt at a video game and not a professional studio.

2024-08-05	Ja*****	A fairly bland bullet storm in which your plane looks a little bit like Colossatron. The premise of the game makes no sense to me. Who am I fighting? It looks like aliens, but the landscape below is Earth? Why would Colossatron defend Earth against aliens?

2024-07-25	Ke*****	I'd rather give them 5 stars. However, I see there's no more chapters, but chapter 1, I really liked this shooting game way too much, and my favourite type of mobile gaming is shoot'em up. Half brick is supposed to make an update for sure 🫠 please make more chapters and challenges and achievements, so I won't stop playing this game until I fully done earning achievements and beat all levels n chapters in this game 😉 😀 👍. Keep up the good work. Half brick 👏 I'd give you 5 for sure🌟

2024-07-20	Ca*****	Different than the original game but still pretty good. Sure I'm gonna hit a paywall any time now tho and it'll just be too hard to have fun without paying. I'll give it a 4 for effort tho.

2024-06-01	sa*****	As a basic shoot em up, it's thoroughly okay. For something you a, need to be in a premium account for more than an hour of, and thus b, are jumping through hoops for.. it has nowhere near enough content to justify it, and what it has isn't particularly amazing

2024-04-21	Jo*****	Nice prototype. Would love to have a trail of 2-3 colored cores that charge up and do special moves like purple activating rail gun or red activating missile barrage for a few seconds. Maybe we could level those up or something.

2024-04-17	Es*****	It's decent, but a huge letdown if you're a big colossatron enthusiast. The best way I can put it is that it's the Halfbrick equivalent to an Angry Birds Spinoff, just your average space shooter but with a colossatron skin slapped onto it. You'd have a better time with the original.

2024-03-24	Al*****	My main issue with it is that it's more of a bullet hell game rather than a space shooter that its trying to replicate, and the enemy firing speed is the main reason for the constant difficulty. Lowering it a little bit could improve gameplay a lot.
