Starseed: Origin is unabashedly retro. Everything from the visuals to the obscene difficulty level hails from gaming’s glory days. You’re able to pilot your ship by placing your finger anywhere on the screen. It’s then up to you to take out all of the enemy ships and asteroids standing in your way before setting your sights on the dreadnoughts. The game rewards you for stringing together combos, so take aim and climb those Game Center leaderboards. Starseed: Origin includes nine ships to unlock, nine chip tunes, and nine dreadnoughts to defeat.

If you love retro, check out Starseed: Origin. It’s especially fun if you have a MFi controller.

If you’re looking for a casual gaming fix, this isn’t it.
