Released in 2020 in celebration of the 40th anniversary of the original, Missile Command: Recharged is a reimagining of the beloved Atari arcade classic. Survive wave after wave of enemy attacks in this fast-paced, arcade action game. Players must defend their bases by shooting down an endless barrage of missiles hailing from the sky. Launch counter-missiles to protect your base and target powerups to gain an edge at critical moments.

It takes the basic premise of the arcade original, adds power-ups, a future-retro aesthetic and an endless arcade loop! How long can you defend your cities against the enemy onslaught?
