65/100

AR Blaster is a straightforward and energetic arcade shooter that brings a UFO invasion right into your living room. While it doesn't have the complexity of larger AR titles, it captures that classic 'defend the base' feeling perfectly. The tension comes from the 'one-miss' rule—if even a single UFO lands, it's game over, which forces you to be constantly vigilant and precise with your taps.

The game works best when you have a bit of room to scan your environment, as the UFOs can come from various angles. It's a great example of pick-up-and-play AR; there's no complicated setup, just immediate action. While it could benefit from more power-ups or enemy variety, as a pure reflex-based shooter, it’s a fun way to use your phone's camera for a quick blast of sci-fi action.
