Stardust Galaxy Warriors: Stellar Climax (couch co-op action shooter) out next month on Nintendo Switch
Aksys Games is mostly known for localisation of Japanese games at retail, such as the recently released Jake Hunter Detective Stories: Ghost of the Dusk on Nintendo 3DS, or the upcoming Death Mark (out on October 31st in Europe and North America). But the company also frequently publishes games from non-Japanese developers/publishers exclusively on the Nintendo eShop, and Stardust Galaxy Warriors: Stellar Climax is one of them. It will be released on November 29th in Europe and North America.
For those who are not familiar with the game (already available on PC), Stardust Galaxy Warriors: Stellar Climax is a couch co-op action shooter game, playable with 1 to 4 players. It offers a unique mix of schump and brawler gameplay, coupled with some light RPG elements. The game was designed to be as customisable as possible: you can choose between several game modes, but also various gameplay settings, mechs, weapons, upgrades, and more.
Here’s a trailer and plenty of details:
THE YEAR 2087 NEEDS US
You are the new Galactic Police Force, restoring peace and order to the universe. Up to four-player adventures await! Jump in your Galaxy Gear Mech and become the space warrior that saves the future. It’s now or never.
CREATE THE RULES
Go with the default rulesets, or tune the gameplay settings to your liking. Adjust health and shield amounts, fire rates, drop rates, hitbox sizes or turn friendly fire on for a frantic, dangerous experience. Choose the way you play from relaxed star rides to maddening bullet-hells!
FIVE MECHS FOR DELIVERING GALACTIC JUSTICE
Choose from five unique, badass mechs, each coming with its own special abilities. Blue Falcon, the Sniper, uses spears and missile barrages to kill his opposition from afar. Red Tiger, the Berserker, goes hog wild with frenzied claw attacks and time altering abilities. Silver Wolf, the Dasher, charges from place to place exploding enemies into pieces with his bombs. Black Bear, the Reflector, uses shields to make her allies invulnerable and her enemies die to their own bullets. Amber Fox, the Nullifier, sucks in enemy fire only to return it to them tenfold and stabilizes the playing field.
A SPRAWLING GALAXY
Blast evil left and right. The campaign game mode takes you to a perilous journey through space. From the depths of oceans, through alien hives and haunted factories to the outer limits of hyperspace. Explore the galaxy and its beautiful space scenery while destroying the evil.
