Join Jim from Mature Mind Gamers as he takes a first look at Mega Roids, a small independent studio game currently available on Steam for just $3.99. If you grew up playing Asteroids on the Atari 2600, this 3D, first-person reimagining will definitely scratch that old-school itch. Jim explores the mechanics, from mastering the 360-degree awareness required to stay alive, to figuring out the mysterious colored collectibles that unlock the level's portal. The gameplay evolves from simple asteroid blasting to dodging alien saucers and navigating the high-speed 'Roid Run' canyon level. Is this indie gem worth your four dollars? Watch to see the gameplay, HUD breakdown, and Jim's final verdict on this retro-style space shooter.
