Gravitar: Recharged
Description
A lone pilot, far from home, must navigate an abstract universe of uncharted planets and space stations guarded by mysterious, hostile aliens in Gravitar: Recharged. You must complete missions in each solar system, navigating a variety of challenging environments, each with varying levels of gravity that will test your skills as a pilot. Complete each mission within a solar system and you will be transported to the next through a massive black hole. Will you ever make it home?
With Gravitar: Recharged Atari revisits an incredibly ambitious arcade title. The 1982 original took the rotate, thrust and fire mechanics of Asteroids and Space Duel, combined them with the gravity of Lunar Lander, and added exploration and elements of cave flying. The result was an extremely challenging arcade game that was eventually ported to the Atari 2600. The game, which did not achieve broad commercial success, has become a cult classic among Atari enthusiasts.
The visual aesthetic of Gravitar: Recharged takes the Recharged series in a new direction, with expansive environments rendered in painterly style and pastel tones. In the capable hands of industry-veteran composer Megan McDuffee, the original soundtrack complements the art style with soothing, atmospheric tracks that evoke a sense of wonder.

Great refresh / one glaring omission
I learned about this game from the Atari booth at the Retro Games expo. They had one of the new VCS systems with the interesting twist-version of the classic controller. Having a proper twist controller would be great for Tempest, of course, but I hadn't thought of it for Gravitar. Playing this refreshed Gravitar on the VCS with twist controller was surprisingly natural. The new game has vector-like graphics, an interesting new way to navigate between levels and more variety of play than the original. Unfortunately this PC version doesn't support the VCS controller. What a missed opportunity.

A great upgrade to a niche classic.
First off, I am a big fan of the original Gravitar, which was not as popular as some of the classic Atari heavy hitters but made a name for itself as a niche classic. When I saw this new spin on it, I was hoping for something that still felt like Gravitar, but with added depth. From what I have experienced so far, I am not disappointed. This game delivers what it promised: classic Gravitar ethos with enhancements, expansions, and upgrades that feel like the old Gravitar all grown up. Well done, Atari! If you enjoyed Gravitar, give this a spin. And, if you missed Gravitar the first time around, this game is a great reason to give it a try now.
