Missile Command: Recharged Review
Atari's Missile Command has returned for a new generation with the release of Nickervision Studios' Missile Command: Recharged. 40 years have passed since the original hit the scene – does this re-imagining prove the timelessness of this arcade blaster, or should the past stay buried?
Missile Command: Recharged Review
When the original Missile Command came out way back when, the objective was simple – protect your base from a never-ending barrage of missiles by launching missiles of your own through three different silos. Though silos can regenerate, buildings do not, so it pays to be mindful of your surroundings. Your ultimate goal? Survive as long as possible, get a high score, and improve your gaming prowess along the way.
Missile Command: Recharged has all of the underpinnings of the original, but throws in some wrinkles to make things sparkly and new. Power-ups that include bombs, rapid fire, and shields pop up from time to time, and the enemy threat is a bit more varied this time around. Visuals have gotten a noticeable neon facelift, though its minimalism still shines through. It's just a shame there isn't more done to make things pop – the single song is somewhat limiting, and the flash pales in comparison to other neon-based wonders like the Geometry Wars series.
This title might be part and parcel similar to the original, but does the gameplay hold up? It depends.
Those who have played other score chasers like Galaga and Asteroids will be over the moon with the style of gameplay here. While some may argue that the use of the mouse makes things a considerable amount easier, the core gameplay loop that took countless quarters is still present and accounted for. It does lack variety – other arcade classics like Ms. Pac-Man and Donkey Kong have got it beat – but what is here is serviceable enough for those looking for it.
However, there is one addition to Missile Command: Recharged that one may consider sacrilege. Points accumulated on the battlefield can be used to purchase upgrades in one of four different flavors – "Power," "Reload," "Speed," and "Rebuild." The first level of upgrade costs a paltry 1,000 points, and though later levels cost a great deal more, those that grind and persevere can essentially break the game with the sheer advantage these maxed out upgrades provide. It's a double-edged sword, one that exchanges short term replayability for its pure skill-based arcade roots.
Score chasers can take advantage of a global online leaderboard, though we encountered an error message when we tried loading it up during our playthrough. There are also achievements tied to earning a set amount of points in a single round, along with ones for maxing out all upgrades.
Missile Command: Recharged still has the underpinnings of the Atari classic holding everything together, but the upgrade system is a double-edged sword that has the potential to break the game. Though this is not a dealbreaker, this change unfortunately trades skill for grinding.

Marvel's Avengers Stats Explained Guide
There are a total of 7 unique stats in the game, but what do they all do? This Marvel's Avengers Stats Explained Guide breaks down each of the 7 stats including Might, Precision, Proficiency, Resolve, Resilience, and Intensity, explaining the purpose of each skill so you can maximize your characters build.
Understanding how stats work is an important part of building your ultimate hero. Marvel's Avengers uses a Rating system that determines your overall characters strength. If you are below the required rating for a particular enemy or mission, you will deal much less damage and take more damage in return. As such, it's a good idea to ensure your power level at least meets the requirements of the mission for a greater chance at success.
There are 4 main rating areas. Melee Rating, Ranged Rating, Defense Rating, and Heroic Rating. Each rating is broken up as follows:
- Melee Rating – Combined ratings of Might, Valor and Proficiency
- Ranged Rating – Combined ratings of Precision, Valor, and Proficiency
- Defense Rating – Combined ratings of Resilience & Resolve
- Heroic Rating – Combined ratings of Resilience, Valor, Intensity
You can see here that, while focusing on just a few skills will make you stronger in certain areas, it may impact your overall power rating. Might and Intensity, for example, only influence a single power rating each. However, Resilience, Valor, and Proficiency all impact two. If you're struggling to make the power level for a particular mission, try investing in areas that influence the overall power more positively.
Marvel's Avengers Stats Guide
Might
Directly influences the damage you do in melee combat
Precision
Precision is the only stat that increases your ranged damage
Proficiency
Both your critical hit chance and an increased chance for gear with perks to activate
Valor
The amount of damage done with a critical strike and the effectiveness of your heroic abilities
Resolve
Increases your maximum health and how quickly you recover health. Health is called Willpower in the game.
Resilience
Your armor value, reducing damage taken by each attack
Intensity
Your ability to resist status effects from enemy attacks and how quickly you break from them.
Depending on how you play each hero, there's a good foundation for each using the basic stats. For example, Hulk does have a ranged attack but it's very rare you will use it. He will spend almost all of his time in melee combat. He has a taunt ability, forcing all nearby enemies to attack him, and an increased defense ability. As such, stacking Might, Resolve, and Resilience is a great build for making Hulk a better tank.
Iron Man is another example, although a more versatile one. While he's perfectly capable of melee, many of his skills unlock new ranged attacks. Rockets, lasers, etc. If you play a traditional range attack role, you will want to focus on Precision, Proficiency and Valor. A glass cannon approach that sees Iron Man doing much greater damage from range with high hitting critical attacks.
Ultimately, it's up to you how to play each hero and how to build them to suit your play style.

How To Unlock Fortnite Hulk Pickaxe In Marvel's Avengers
Want to know How To Unlock Fortnite Hulk Pickaxe In Marvel's Avengers? The pre-order beta for Marvel's Avengers is currently available for those that pre-ordered the game on PlayStation 4 and with it, a chance to unlock Hulk Smashers Pickaxe and Hulkbuster style for Fortnite.
There are future beta events planned for PC and then an open beta for all PS+ users. It's likely the rewards are available in each of the beta windows. As well as the Hulk Smashers Pickaxe and Hulkbuster style, there is also a special name plate you unlock for the full version of Marvel's Avengers when the game launches later this year. While it's easy to unlock these items, it can take a very long time.
How To Unlock Fortnite Hulk Pickaxe In Marvel's Avengers
Firstly you need to complete the Marvel Avengers campaign. There are only a few missions in the beta so it won't take you more than a couple of hours. Eventually, after finishing the final campaign mission, you will unlock access to the War Table. This is where you can select locations from around the globe, with each location providing different missions and rewards. Once you have the War Table you need to select the Helicarrier missions.
This is where you will need to be to complete all of the required objectives. You must first complete HARM Challenge I, which then unlock HARM Challenge II. Completing that unlocks HARM Challenge III and then completing HARM Challenge III unlocks the Hulk Pickaxe and Hulksmasher style. It's simple but it can take a while due to current matchmaking issues. You may struggle to find a game with other players, and the game sometimes returns to the main menu even when you're trying to complete the missions solo.
All of the HARM Challenge missions are the same. Defeat 10 waves of increasingly challenging enemies without your team of heroes falling. It's definitely possible solo but it's much easier if you can get a full group of heroes, just be prepared for some matchmaking and connectivity issues.
- Follow the Marvel's Avengers campaign until you unlock the War Table
- Navigate to the Helicarrier missions on the War Table
- Select Harm Challenge I and complete the mission
- Then select Harm Challenge II and complete that mission
- Finally, complete Harm Challenge III to unlock all of the beta rewards

How To Open The Depot In Marvel's Avengers Beta
An AIM Facility Depot is locked. This guide on How To Open The Depot In Marvel's Avengers Beta will walk you through the basics of unlocking your first depot door as although it's a very simple process, the first one may leave you a little confused as to what you're meant to do.
We already know from pre-beta footage that there are multiple Depots, small puzzle-like environments that promise some good gear as a reward if you can solve the puzzles. The puzzles are very simple to follow unless of course you miss the minor hints. Then, like any other puzzle, that can be frustrating and confusing. Thankfully the first AIM depot in Marvel's Avengers is a very simple process involving following wires.
How To Open The Depot In Marvel's Avengers Beta
This is a general tip that will likely apply to all depots. When you are viewing the depot door, look at the top of the door. You will see a number of lights. There are 5 in total, with each light representing one stage of the puzzle that you need to solve. For the first depot door there are two lights atop the door. This tells you that there are two switches that you must press in order to release the locking mechanism and open the door.
You can follow the electrical wires from the lights, these will lead you to the switches. Both the switches are right outside the first depot door you find, on the left and right of the path that leads to the door. First one is easy to solve, as for future ones, just remember the key aspects:
- Locate the depot door
- Check the lights at the top of the door
- Follow the electrical wires from those lights
- Press the switches to release the locking mechanism.
Sometimes they need to be pressed in order. If the light is press and it turns blue, that light is correct. From there, it' just a simple process of elimination.
