Platinum #232-234: Energy Invasion (NA PS4, EU PS4 & Vita)


Hey there!

After Energy Cycle and Energy Balance is Energy Invasion the 3rd game from developer Sometimes You in which I unlocked 3 Platinum Trophies.

What is the game all about?
Energy Invasion is a mixture of brick breaker and twin stick shooter. Just like in any other brick breaker game, you shoot your ball of the paddle. But instead breaking the bricks by hitting them with the ball, you must shoot them. Shooting is done with the right analog stick and the shots come out of you ball.
The game offers 3 different modes which are all nearly identical. Invasion Mode has 25 levels (layers). Linear Mode has 25 levels too but here the blocks will move towards you. If you don’t break them in time, it’s game over. This mode can be a little bit tricky in the later layers and you will need a bit of luck. The last mode is Infinity Mode, which is exactly like Invasion Mode but the layers are randomized and there’s no end.
For all modes 2 difficulties (normal and easy) are available. The difference between these difficulties is that on easy no enemies will shoot at you.
The Vita version is easier than the PS4 version as there are lesser bricks in each level and in Linear Mode, the bricks drop at a much lower speed.

What about trophies?
To unlock the Platinum Trophy, you must beat Invasion Mode and Linear Mode, and you must reach layer 30 in Infinity Mode. There’s also a trophy for getting the special health pack bonus but this will happen automatically during play.
The game itself isn’t that hard and you can play all 3 modes on easy and still get all trophies. As said before, the hardest part are the last layers of Linear Mode but you should be able to complete all levels after a couple of retries.
One thing I’d like to clearly point out is that you should never ever click on restart during any of these modes. This will force you to replay the current mode from the beginning. If you’ve started a mode, you must finish it in one go.

Where can I get this game?
Energy Invasion is available in the EU and NA PSN store for PS4 and Vita. Each version has its own stack, which means that you can unlock up to 3 Platinum Trophies with this game. Sadly, it’s not cross-buy but each version cost only a few EUR / USD.
If you need PSN cards, you can buy them here. There you get digital codes, which will be send to you via e-mail within minutes.

As a trophy hunter, should I get this game?
Yes, but be prepared for a few frustrating moments in Linear Mode on PS4. Otherwise it’s a cheap, quick and easy game.
