One of gaming mysteries that NEVER, EVER should be asked is "It is possible to make Space Invaders look like shit?". Knowing the historical value of the game in terms of Taito, Shooting and Gaming history, asking something like that is absolutely unthinkable, even reaching the point of being a blasphemy. But Calamity doesn't take a "NO" and "DON'T ASK THAT" for an answer and concocted attempts on making atrocities with this part of shmup history. We've already saw Pix Arts monstrosity called Space Invasion, but the following review is definitely the anti-gaming result of The Search of the Absolute, La Recherche de l'absolu... La Recherche de la merde absolu (The Search of the Absolute Shit).
So, get ready for a Pull-no-Brakes descent into videogame hell with Soraja Invaders by OÜ Enningture Game Temple.



Descending from Zero Budget to "Negative Number Budget" gaming.

Soraja Invaders' core gameplay is basically the same as Space Invaders; Eliminate all the invaders before they touch the ground and kill you effectively ending the game. So, that's the only aspect which can't fail. Being as fair as possible, I have to admit they at least added a color vulnerability element which consists on taking down a "whatever-the-fuck-they-are" with a specific color beam by tapping a different button on the controller. To confirm the effect, your beam will pass through a couple of enemies instead of hitting a single one. Blue laser passes through Red Invaders, red laser is effective against green enemies, green laser takes two yellow Invaders down with one shot and the yellow laser is the blue Invader weakness. Hope you liked that feature because this is all the "good" that you could find in this game (along with the trophies) since it all falls down in terms of interface, visuals and sound. Any PlayStation 4 as mediocre as you could find it has a title screen right after the startup screen. This game doesn't and it sends you right into the game and if you die, it automatically starts over again without asking you if you want to try again. Breakthrough Gaming games don't do this shit, and those were atrociously bad, but Soraja Invaders really built a new level of videogame mediocrity.




Incomprehensible, Incoherent, Incapable of having a recognizable shape.

Graphically... What the fuck? Really, WHAT THE FUCK? ¡¿WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS SHIT?! Looks like someone got drunk and tried to make Space Invaders, nothing has a recognizable shape. What am I controlling, what are my enemies, WHAT IS EVERYTHING?! I mean, unless you're a fucking drug addict would be saying some random shit to justify this catastrophe, just look a it. ¿Can you explain me what am I controlling? A three year old toddler would make something way better than this game.
As for the sound department... Nothing, is unexistant in this game. There's no music or sounds in the game, aside from the PlayStation's notification chime when you obtain a trophy in this game. The whole fucking thing is silent. To put it simple, OÜ Enningture Game Temple didn't gave a fuck for their product.


SORAJA CURIOSITIES

- Second entry in the Soraja series, being Soraja Towers the first game.



I'm speechless right now.

How bad is Soraja Invaders? Is a question very hard to answer because is an impossible to explain mess of gaming which can't be defined as "something". With the greatest of efforts, this is a solid example of a new definition of DUI, in this case will mean "Developing Under the Influence". It should be considered a crime against gaming to do a monstrosity like this.
SONY DO SOMETHING!! You should really ban these kind of games that ruin the PlayStation's library and reputation (unless they want to be the LJN of videogame consoles). One thing is being classic and another is being stupid, lazy and HORRENDOUS using retro as an excuse, but Soraja Invaders has definitely no excuse to even exist.




It sums the whole review in very few words.
