User Reviews

Missile Command: Recharged is widely praised for precise touch controls, striking visuals, faithful arcade feel, and a deep upgrade system that adds replayability. Common downsides are bugs that affect gameplay, a monetization model that some users find frustrating due to time-limited plays and upgrade caps, and diminishing replay value once upgrades are maxed. Overall, it’s a strong mobile port that captures the classic vibe with modern polish, though players should be aware of glitches and monetization trade-offs.

Pros

Excellent mobile touch controls that translate the arcade feel well
Stunning neon/vector-inspired graphics and visuals that feel modern yet faithful
Faithful, polished port that preserves the arcade experience while adding depth with power-ups
Deep progression through upgrades and power-ups adds replayability
Fast, addictive arcade action that works well for short mobile sessions

Cons

Bugs and glitches affecting gameplay (e.g., R power-up not firing, missiles sticking to ground, slo‑mo glitches)
Monetization and upgrade gating can be frustrating (time-limited plays, upgrade caps, pricing issues)
Replay value can drop after upgrades are maxed or with a single play mode, limiting long-term variety

Recent reviews

The Netflix version of this is way better. I wish they would update this version to match it. Other than that it’s a fun way to kill time.

Especially with its “modern conveniences,” mechanics, and “Blooming” graphics, it’s an objectively a better game. It’s far more engaging, and the graphics are amazingly cool, especially for such a small app that takes so little space. Plus, the touch controls are sweet, because today’s Bluetooth trackballs generally don’t connect to consoles or mobile. It’s just not what blew people away, in 1980, because it was completely revolutionary at the time, and it was larger than life at the arcades. Others may have to make a point to stick to with their retro-identities, though... However, if you want to play that on a mobile device (I suggest a cheap, old iPad), then buy the Atari Arcade app, which has the OG and many others. You can max that out with its USB-A to Dock Atari Arcade joystick and iPad holder by duo, which makes for a sweet, little tabletop arcade of Atari games, for I think $7 bucks plus an iPad 2 (i.e., TWO!) or later, which you could pro’lly get for free and replace the battery... You could also grab the Atari 8-bit computer version—if you’re too hardcore to play without a trackball but not so hardcore as to buy a cabinet—because an Atari 400/800/600XL/800XL/1200XL/65XE/130XE/XEGS and an OG Atari Trak-Ball (two versions with DB9/Atari Joystick connectors) is the closest to the OG, without being the OG — with good graphics (but not vector graphics, like this app’s version and the OG) and ‘cause the Atari Trak-Ball can be set to move at the speed of its spinning, just like the arcades, as opposed to just slowly moving in the direction you’re rolling, ATM. Aside from all that, if you don’t have some version between an 8-bit Atari Computer and an iDevice/New VCS/any of the more modern PCs or consoles that will drive this game or the follow up they did in 2022 to make this free one even better. You might even think about this as looking at the spark for Atari’s entire “Recharged” games, which are the pinnacle of Atari’s (many) remakes of its games.
