A modernized breakout game with cool boards, scenes and boss fights with utilizing multiple balls, absorb, and repel. I played the original version pretty much enough and this version is almost same in gameplay-wise.
This may, or may not a version for who played original version of Shatter because this 'Remastered Deluxe' is different in several points.
1. Paddle ship rotating along with player control, and some graphic effect when ship movement stops and turns its direction. Functionality is same, just visual effects and model movements are missing.
2. Almost all blocks lost its glossy reflection, and glassy look transparency.
3. Sound FX lacks some impact a bit.
4. PC friendly UI: It lacks several 'go back' button, but it is not critical.
5. Stage clear cutscene elements are overly skipped, dropped its quality overly.
6. Shards lack its trails and it seems like I dropped graphic quality to low.
1. Remastered soundtracks: Lesser bass than original. Both sounds awesome, and they tastes different. This version's soundtracks are mastered with 'recent' taste.
2. Korean localization and some more languages, even logo itself. (Korean logo looks pretty awkward and it lacks some key iconic visual of original English logo though, but nice try.)
3. Proper scaling for 4K resolution. Original can work in 4k but UI does not scale.
4. Rebuilt UI elements. I like original in-game UI better though.
5. Fragments are actual fragments now. (Some players won't like it.)
6. Absorb and repel now have different SFX and VFX.
7. Bonus stage screen is changed, looks cooler than original in my opinion.
8. Visual of power up items are changed, but it's harder to know what item icon means what.
9. Loading times are shortened a bit. Probably engine version effect.
10. Higher FPS support, as stated at description: I don't have monitor supports more than 60fps, I'm not sure about this.
With its full price, especially for fans who waited for day one definitive experience may be disappointed. Improvements are minor, there are several misses, and price wasn't cheap enough to calm down the crowd. But, when it's in sale, around $5 USD, I think it's worth to drop one McDonald's Big Mac Set price.
This 'Remastered Deluxe' have some bummer and somehow it feels like some cashgrab, but the company behind this, PikPok is.. actually Sidhe as far as I read from Wikipedia. OK... PikPok, update the game to restorie missing elements, and you guys restore your honorable reputation as a company of original Shatter.
It's been around 2 years, it's unlikely to be happen though.
