May 4, 2021While Godstrike can be frustrating and lacking in the overall narrative, the game is still a good choice for fans of exceedingly difficult combat. However, Godstrike may not be the best selection for those who enjoy the fulfillment of steady progression when building skills and taking on challenges that increase in difficulty levels. Hopefully, a patch will be released in the future to help improve the overall Joy-Con controls for Nintendo Switch, and potentially introduce a lock-on feature to make aiming at enemies easier to do. Right now, however, Godstrike remains tough to recommend to anyone who isn't a die-hard fan of these niche, immensely difficult titles, and even then, they'd likely do well to avoid the Switch version until its controls are better.

Apr 14, 2021Godstrike in many ways feels like an early access game. There are glimpses of a better game in here somewhere, but the overall unpolished feel of its design and presentation really drag down the otherwise solid controls. Revising (or removing) the time mechanic and honing in on a more distinctive art style could’ve made this one a tentative recommendation but, as it stands, that's impossible. If you want a good boss rush game with similar gameplay, we’d recommend you pick up Furi; if you’re looking for a good shmup, there’s no shortage of those to be found on Switch. Either way, we wouldn't bother with this one unless you've exhausted all other options.
