    Really MP local game. It's easy to learn and mechanics to balance the worst players in the long term works really good. It's boring as SP and it will be great to support online MP in the future but as a party game, I couldn't find any other game at this level.

    Good, easy pick-up-and-play retro fun.

    The pilot hunters mode is great (you have to destroy their spaceship and then kill the tiny pilot as they desperately try and evade long enough for another new spaceship to appear. There's a few different maps to play presenting their own challenge and various different power-ups which can really change the nature of a fight.

    In single player there are a few different options for play and although the critics seem to say it lacks a campaign type mode, I can't see how that would work. Of course like most things it'll be a better game played against your mates!

    If you're a fan of retro gaming then you should really think about buying this one as it's well designed and simple enough to be picked up by any gamer.    … Expand

    This is simply one of those games that has an uncomplicated premise, with a variety of game types that affect the win conditions more than the game itself. And that’s exactly what a game like this needs to be. While I wouldn’t recommend the game by its own right, I see this being in a lineup of a bunch of local multiplayer games on the Switch with friends. On its own, there isn’t much there for you.

    This is a console that does not need lesser local multiplayer experiences to bolster it up.

    Astro Duel Deluxe is a fun, retro inspired and pleasant looking space shooter that makes use of well developed local multiplayer modes, as well as catchy little details which make this a good element on the Nintendo Switch catalogue. It falls short in terms of content and if it had an online multiplayer mode it would certainly be much more appealing, as the one-player mode can feel like it ends too quickly.
