Blasted

About

Blasted is a fast-paced arcade shooter where you trade bullets with alien invaders swarming an apartment block. Armed with a zoom rifle, you pick off targets while avoiding accidental civilian casualties and dodge fire from enemy positions. The single player mode challenges you to clear floors efficiently, while co-op turns it into a duel, you defend your building while trying to riddle your buddy’s with bullet holes. The game’s simplest mechanics land hardest. Precise aiming matters, but timing and luck keep things chaotic. The two-player mode feels especially sharp for its era, blending teamwork with sabotage as both sides race to claim victory. Released in 1988, it’s a straightforward shooter that still crackles with pixelated urgency.
