    Despite a few issues, Catastronauts is a fun co-operative experience that gets most of the basics right. It's unmistakably derivative of Overcooked, but overall, that simply means we now have another accessible yet challenging co-op party game to enjoy with friends. The easy controls and simple structure mean almost anyone can have a good time -- it's just a shame that it falls down on some clumsy presentation issues and game-crashing bugs.

The object is to constantly repair your ship and shoot your cannons to reduce your opponent's energy to 0% while they try and do the same to yours.

    As me and my 5-year old kid greatly enjoy playing Overcooked together and this game feels very much the same we immediately felt right at home here and had a great time.

    Unfortunately there's one annoying problem if you're playing with a young kid and that's the dificulty. Whereas Overcooked gently eases you into things and allows plenty of room for error as one skilled player can pick up the slack of a less skilled player, making progress in this game was harder as it demands both player to play well and it can get all get a bit too frantic after the first easy hubs. An easy mode with an opponent who doesn't fire 37 times per minute would have been welcome !

    Otherwise, it's a very OK party game that is sure to keep you and your friends entertained..    … Full Review »
