    5 Worlds, 26 enemies, 10 cameras weapons and a lot of content for only $15.
    This game is insane and VERY FUN! A very good game to play and a like a lot.

    Better than Star Fox zero. And this was the bonus game. Let's see. Great control set up. No forced Motion controls. Simple to learn difficult to master. It's addicting.

    The Status of better than the game it came free with may well change if they patch in an no motion control mode for Starfox zero. Which wouldn't be entirely unwelcome.

    Got guard with first print edition starfox So glad I did what a great treat from Nintendo. I've been playing with my 5 year old daughter. She shouts out which camera has robots/enemy's to me Great fun. Even though this is a smaller companion to starfox Nintendo's seal of quality is all over it.

    Star fox guard is a extra game for star fox zero and it's really cheap but still delivers much content and fun levels. People that like for instance fnaf could maybe try it out it's a fun experience.

    Star guard gets a 8/10

    I would rather prefer this game over Zero cause this game has more replay value and more better level design. Star Fox is still great but this game is better.

    This is a fun game with that special Nintendo touch. It's hard not to smile when playing this game and the fact that it came as part of the package is an added value.

    In a generation of gaming where companies try to make the most complex games with state-of-the-art graphics, it's good to see a game with simple controls an game play. It's a simple, but fast paced tower defense game that still takes lots of skill and strategy.

    Some flaws with the game is that even though its a simple game, they still try to complex it a little too much with a "story" and other features when all that needed to be done was level waves.

    All around, this game is a great bonus game. But why is the bonus game better than the main game?    … Expand

    While I'm enjoying Star Fox Zero, i'm having a good blast with Star Fox Guard's cutesy and tower defense-like game play. If you really want a "brand new" Star Fox to play and/or played SFZ already, give this one a shot.

    Sorprendentemente "Star Fox Guard" es un gran juego, es y de cierto modo no, un tower defence donde la dinámica es utilizar el plano del Game Pad para acomodar las cámaras en la pantalla del televisor para disparar y evitar que la horda de robots invasores destruya la fuente central de tu base.

    De muy sencillo a extremadamente desafiante "Star Fox Guard" se convierte de un juego de relleno a uno completamente adictivo que es único en su tipo.
    Mi recomendación es dale una oportunidad si compraste la versión física de "Star Fox Zero" no lo dejes de lado, y si sencillamente quieres un juego que se ve bien y cuesta solo 15 US$ no lo dejes escapar, es atrapante y novedoso.    … Expand

    A surprisingly solid tower defense spin-off set in Star Fox universe, the game is quite addicting.

    People say this is better than Star Fox Zero, but I like both, it's compatible with the same 2 amiibo, the gameplay is cool, it's got a online feature,and the controls are above solid!

    What's a great Star Fox Zero review without Star Fox Guard? Make way, Star Fox Zero. There's another Star Fox game to collect with the purchase of Star Fox Zero if you're buying that. It's a tower defense type of game, so we know what to expect out of the results. Get Star Fox Zero instead.

    I hope your favorite Star fox character is Slippy, because if it is, you'll enjoy this game!

    Surprisingly, it somehow works. Not only that, but I’d say that whereas Zero is a disaster that should absolutely be avoided by all except the most passionate of Star Fox fans, Guard is a fun time that I’d absolutely recommend to fans of puzzle or RTS games.

    This was the absolute best game in the Star Fox series. The bosses are fun, the enemies are unique and it’s an amazing mix of Tower Defence and Shoot’em’up. Love it. And for £8?! Oh wait. You can’t get it anymore,

    It is what it is: a smaller game concept that served its purpose as an E3 tech demo well, and so was polished up to become a nice companion piece for a bigger game. [Issue #21 – May/June 2016, p.76]

    Under normal circumstances a title like this wouldn’t have been worth a $60 price tag, but free is an entirely different story. It has a surprising amount of content, but ultimately suffers from lack of variety.

    Star Fox Guard has nothing to do with Star Fox, yet manages to be more fun than this year’s actual Star Fox. Nintendo’s take on tower defence entertains while it lasts. [May 2016]
