About

The original bug-blasting arcade game is back! Centipede: Recharged has been reimagined for modern gameplay, with vibrant visuals designed for modern screens, a 16:9 field of play, and an original soundtrack from award-winning video game composer Megan McDuffee. Aim for a high score in the old school arcade mode and earn bragging rights with your name at the top of the leaderboard. Or test your skills and rank on the boards in one of 30 intensely creative challenges, which twist the gameplay in new and exciting ways. A dozen new power-ups can give you an edge by introducing abilities like screen-clearing explosions, rail guns, and even slowing down time. Every mode and level is playable in local co-op mode with a friend.

    Forty years have passed since Centipede first enthralled audiences and it seems like the old bug still has some legs left. This is essential stuff, even if you aren’t a retro games enthusiast, as it’s simply a thrilling shump. It’s a showcase of how a game doesn’t need fancy bells and whistles to still be really addictive and fun. Playing Centipede: Recharged may make you feel like you’re going back to basics, but if the basics are this good, then you won’t regret it.

    The budget price-point means this is a very easy recommendation for those looking for a new shooter, or even a well balanced co-operative experience. In our eyes Centipede: Recharged is one of the best retro reboots so far this year.
