Enigmata 2 – Flash Game Review
Enigmata 2 is a typical space fighting game where you take control of various impressive space fighter ships and destroy the oncoming hordes of enemies. However, more care and thought has been put into Enigmata 2, making it a cut above the rest.
First of all, the graphics are sharp and polished, which is always a plus. Also, the controls flow much more freely, movement is snappier, and the ability to rotate with the mouse makes it much easier to get to grips with. However, this not all…
…Many games offer upgrades to help you through difficult levels. But none have as wide and impressive a range as Enigma 2. There are shops, abilities, and missiles that can be bought in separate sections, each with a wide range. Also, more skillful upgrade shops can be unlocked when you earn achievement points, which made me decide to go as far as possible during missions and earn as much gold as possible along the way. When you buy an upgrade, simply drag and drop it onto the skill panel, each skill your current spaceship has is assigned a number, when you press that number, the corresponding skill will appear. This is by far the most addictive feature of the game, especially the curiosity to know what can be bought in the advanced sections of the shops.
The game itself is extremely fast from the start. There is a short tutorial, but there shouldn’t be anything new except how to use your skills. Immediately after this he is bombarded by oncoming enemies, his spaceship movement is fast and very agile allowing him to maneuver around them, however he is likely to be hit frequently. Fortunately there is a healing ability for this. The only downside comes from the repetitiveness of the levels. Although they get noticeably more difficult, and eventually you gain awesome new abilities and other features, each level simply consists of holding down the left mouse button and zigzagging around the screen.
That said, Enigma 2 easily outperforms many rival games in the same genre, from the range of unlockables and customizations available, to the sharp graphics and smooth movement of the speedy spaceship. All in all, it can provide many hours of enjoyment and is a must have for players who enjoy high-tech slot machine games.
