Area 2048 (2004)

by Junpei Isshiki

Area 2048 is an arena shooter with vector-based graphics.

The goal is to destroy all enemy waves within the time of 30 minutes. If you lose all lives or won't make it on time - it's game over. Game is divided into 50 stages with every tenth one being a boss stage. There are no additional weapons or power-ups, however you have an opportunity to activate "special" when the meter in upper left corner fills up - playfield zooms in and for a short while you can fire a huge flock of bullets.

There are three difficulty levels.

  Nice arena shooter. I made it to stage 4 on my first try on easy difficulty and to stage 3 on my first try on hard difficulty. My main strategy was to fly around the enmies in circles, so that they can hardly aim at you. Interesting boss fights and I like the stylish graphics and music.
  
  I think I will return to this game soon!

  Had there been powerups in this game it would have been perfect in my book. I was greatly entertained!
  Lots of enemies to shoot - bossfights to clear, bullets to dodge and lives to spend.
  
  I found good tactics in trying to shoot from a distance, so getting out of the initial starting point seemed clever. Shots last all the way across the playing field, and not just as far as the screen goes, so I even had one level in the beginning where I enver actually saw an enemy before I had cleared the level simply by shooting the bad guys from one end of the arena.
  This will not be an option in latter levels, where enemies will come swarming at you left and right, shooting lines of sharp stuff and hyperspeed flying into you if you dont move.

  A really smooth shooter where all graphics are drawn using vectors.
