Overview

Space Invaders is Taito’s shooting franchise, beginning with a ground cannon defending against descending alien formations. Later entries rework that clear premise through reactive sound, changing visual styles and new patterns of attack. Representative games: Space Invaders (1978): Makes moving a cannon and firing into descending alien ranks the heart of the action. Space Invaders Extreme (2008): Couples shooting with animated backgrounds and music that changes with the action. Space Invaders Infinity Gene (2008): Reimagines the invasion around evolution, giving its shooting a distinctive monochrome visual identity. Suitable for: For players who like a clear target and the urge to improve their score. Small changes in positioning and timing become the focus, with later games adding a more expressive audiovisual pulse.
