Starlink: Battle for Atlas (Nintendo Switch)

I do like my space games, but i had some trepidation about getting this one.. i thought it's probably made for kids, given the nature of the physical ships and pilots, so hesitated getting this game for a long time.. After finally watching some videos of it on Youtube, i was impressed by what i saw, so decided to give it a go, and i'm really glad i did, as this game is fantastic! and there is so much more to it than i expected, and it is not what i would call a kids game, as there is so much to it, and is not a walkover by any means if played on anything above the easiest difficulty setting. I got the Switch version of this, and i have to say it was nice to get a model of Starfox and Arwing with this version.. it looks so much better than the ship you get with the game on the other versions, and fox and his ship aren't just different skins for the game, they are fully integrated into the story, and i thought that was very clever and cool, though it should be noted that you get the figure for the base game character also, and his ship on the game. The game itself is something i didn't expect, it's vast! which is good. There is plenty to do. Being a Ubisoft game, it has that same kind of open world (or in this case world/s) things to do, things that scatter the may to do, from places to search to places to clear out as well as the main and side missions, planet side as well as in space, which is good, as it gives you plenty of opportunity to level up your pilots and ships. The game is open free-roam, you can go to all the different planets and space in between at your pleasure, which is great. The game plays really well, the combat is satisfying, quite fast in space but you get used to it, and planet side, i was pleased to see there are two modes of travelling, which you can switch between. a mode where you hover lose to the ground, and you slide and strafe like you would if you was on foot in a third or first person shooter, and you can go into flight mode, where you can fly around like you would expect in a space/flight game, away from the surface, and this system works extremely well. It should be noted you don't have to have the ships plugged in to be able to use them, you can play with a normal joypad also, though you should also not that if you buy any extra physical ships and weapons, you have to plug them in at least once a week just to prove you still own them, but i can understand why it needs you to do that. Oh, one thing definitely worthy of mention, which i never knew, is that you can play the full game (the campaign) in Co-Op! and local split screen Co-Op at that, which is fantastic as i love Co-Op in games, and it's nice to get the help in the campaign, Co-Op always makes a game more fun in my opinion. No online Co-Op though as far as i know. The two downsides to this game is firstly, because of the way the game was designed, you don't get much in the way of ship and weapon choices with the base game. In a normal game, you would have all these choices built into the game, but because they want to sell the extra ships, weapons and pilots, there isn't much you get with this game in terms of those. Also, as previously said, if you have physical ships, pilots and weapons, you have to plug them in at least once a week to prove that you still own them, which makes you want to download them to save the aggravation of having to plug in once in a while, which is a shame. Lastly, it's a shame that you can't swap the thumsticks around. The ship controls are on the right stick and throttle and sliding on the left stick. Lots of people are used to the opposite, myself included, so it's a shame there is no option to swap the thumstick functionalities in the game, though you do adjust eventually, but i'd rather not have had to. All in all though a really good game that will surprise you with how much there is to it and that it's not just for kids, not by a long way.. this game is far anyone and is actually fairly hardcore, which was a very pleasant surprise to me.

I bought the physical version of the game and have been adding the ships physically to my collection. This is just a nice touch as they're well made, the pilots, ships and weapons can all individually be swapped about and it looks nice on the shelf. The Nintendo switch version implements Fox really well into the game. He isn't merely an add on character but has his own story and is placed into in game cut-scenes really smoothly/ has his own. His ship looks great and his crew can appear to help throughout the game using the L tab. The game itself is easy to pick up and get going, as well as rather addictive. I won't spoil anything however the story is simple enough, but with enough substance to keep it interesting. The npc's in the game are again interesting enough, if a bit repetitive. The real joy of the game is the fighting. On planet there is a back and forth between the enemy for control of planets, areas and bases . In space you are ambushed by enemies that really have it out for you! The controls are easy to use and pick up, and the ai is intelligent enough to keep battles interesting and at times make the game quite challenging. Lives are basically ships; if your ship gets destroyed you swap to a new one until you run out. This can mean having extra ships makes the game easier, however I have found that you can complete the game with just the basic pack, but side missions etc do need various weapons (if you can't be bothered to find work arounds i.e. finding a compatible explosive in world). As such it is not in anyway a pay to win game, but paying a little more for these ships and guns makes the game easier and quicker. You can never leave your ship, but this doesn't take away from exploration as you can pick things up, sell things and scan wildlife. The game takes place on seven different worlds, each with its own life, missions and 'atmosphere'. Getting to and from planets is smooth and feels really exciting. All in all it is a really fun game, with a bonus of toys to life. You can get the full game digitally, which I believe works out cheaper, however physical seems to be getting plenty of offers and adds a really nice touch to your shelf. Also physical is satisfying switching weapons and pilots about (you don't even have to pause game). Highly recommend.

Actually a really decent game. Great for any fan of the Starfox series. While the game is also for PS4 and Xbox one, it does seem like Nintendo got the better end of the stick with the exclusive character and story arc. The game is an open-world style space game where you jump between planets and help the citizens of that world. Essentially forming an alliance to fight against the villian. The pack comes with a replica of the Arwing from Starfox that connects directly to the joycons. You have a choice of two pilots to put inside it and two weapons that you can attach to the ship. The ship acts similarly to Amiibo, or like skylanders or logo dimensions. Where you place weapons on the ship they change on the game instantly. You can also purchase extra stuff both physically and digitally to add to your collection. This does also mean the replica of the starwing isn't actually needed. As when you boot up the game it gives you the chance to play digitally instead. Also the game is drop in Coop. However the player 2 ship is connected to yours so you cannot travel too far away from each other.

Nintendo is the better platform for content but ps4 and xbox is far better for graphics. The game it's self is fun and you don't need to buy all expensive toys you can buy digital for cheap or get the biggest digital bundle game aswell with everything on sale for £30 and not use toys at all and play like any normal game. I think it's ridulass the toys to life idea so much made for such a small game where you really don't need all the stuff to progress

I didn't expect to like this game nearly as much as I have been. I thought it was mostly just going to be a somewhat-repetitive space game (with the typical Ubisoft gameplay) which I was mostly buying for a really cool-looking physical Arwing. And I'm very glad to be wrong about that. The game's fantastic. First, some info on the Switch Starter Edition specifically: While you only get physical versions of the Arwing (+wings), 2 weapons, Fox and Mason... you actually also get digital versions of the Zenith (+wings) and the Shredder Mk. 1 weapon too. (These are the physical toys you get in the PS4/XB1 Starter Editions). This technically means that you get 2 ships, 4 wings, 2 pilots and 3 weapons if you choose to play without the toys. (Scanning a toy lets you use that part "digitally" for 7 days, but scanning it again refreshes that timer) Basically, there's more content here than I was expecting. (But I like playing with a physical Arwing so... I never really used the bonus ship or weapon.) All the different weapons function wildly differently and it's fun to come up with different combinations which complement eachother. (I decided to get 5, or 6 if you include the digital Shredder) Plus, you can mod both the weapons and your ships (Two ships here, or 3 if you include the digital Zenith) to further augment their capabilities. I normally end up rocking my Arwing with the Levitator / Frost Barrage combo with energy mods so that I can keep firing without cooldown. Levitator holds the enemy in place, then the Frost Barrage causes a Cryo-Blast freezing any other enemies nearby (and doing massive damage). It's fun. And the gameplay itself is good too. There are a bunch of "Ubisoft-style" (for lack of a better term) quests with repeated objectives and generic rewards, but progression in the main story allows you to unlock things which helps skip a lot of the tedium. Don't like taking out each and every Extractor yourself? Build an Armoury and let other people do the work for you. Not fond of exploring the entire planet to get everything on your map? Build or upgrade an existing Observatory and they'll scan a very large area around themselves for you. Dislike the time-consuming space travel with Outlaws constantly interrupting you? Take out a nearby Outlaw Base in space, and you can use it as a fast travel point. Understanding what each building and mechanic does helps to cut back a LOT of the tedium which people complain about. My only real complaint is that my original copy of the game had the Arwing unable to properly connect to the mount (ie: faulty product), but I got it replaced and all is good. For a game I originally bought just because I was vaguely interested and it was on sale, I've ended up playing it way more than I expected. (Note: Review written from about halfway into the game... at least, I assume I'm halfway. I'm about to fight the first Dreadnaught.)

Don't feel like reading a lot? Just take this: very good game! Really! and toys are amazing. Now... If, like me, the only reason this game got your attention when was announced was the cool-looking Arwing but was too pricey to at least consider... then this is your chance. It seems the game didn't sell as expected and now has a notable reduced price. I bought the Nintendo starter pack for less than £20. To be honest, I had no expectations for the game. I just wanted to have the Arwing. Nevertheless, to my surprise, the game is very good and engaging. I am still amazed how Nintendo and Ubisoft merged StarFox and Stalink's stories since both are exploring the universe. I totally recommend this title for any Nintendo fan, mostly those who like StarFox. It's nice to see how ambitious Nintendo is becoming, thus exclusive content is (again) a reality. However, be aware that the starter pack gives you a "limited" experience in the game. Only Fox McCloud and Mason Rana as pilots, Arwing and Zenith ships, and 3 weapons. You can buy everything else either as physical toys, or DLCs. Having them is not a must. It just gives you access to use different pilots, weapons, etc. And physical toys have to be re-linked once every week. You can either play having the toys mounted or not. And you can also play co-op mode (again, no need for both having toys). Given that, here is what I did: I bought another ship (which includes one ship, one pilot and one weapon), and another set of weapons. Because there are 5 different types of weapons which will be needed in the game: Fire, Ice, Kinetic, Stasis and Gravity. The included weapons are Fire, Ice and Kinetic. The ship I bought includes the ONLY existing Stasis. And the set of weapons came with one Gravity and another Kinetic. But worry not, in the game there are energy canisters all over the space, each of them have these energies. So, you can use the canisters to defeat certain enemies or open some cases. An open world game in space is always satisfying. You won't be disappointed. Hope this helps!

I've this game in ps4 and it's great so I ordered it on switch because it has starfox extra content which is Nintendo only anyway it arrived new but was was the italian version not the uk as I was expecting it works still and has english options but I feel abit ripped off as eu versions are always a third of the price of uk version I can't resell it down the line as alot of places wont take foreign copys I prob shouldve returned it and also when I checked it 3 days after ordering it had dropped price by £4 of what I paid anyway it works and it's a great game but I'd hopefully never order from where ever this came from Amazon confuses me abit but it doesnt say it's a Italian version I double checked as I wouldnt have ordered but anyway life goes on.

Starlink BFA is a great game , just the same for kids and adults. I opted for Switch version as you get Fox character and also choose to buy starter pack with toy ship because to be honest, it just looks cool. I was a bit skeptical how it will work with having ship connected to your controller, but there is no issue at all. Ships ( bought few more) are light and don't weight down controller. The game play combines space battles with planet exploration, and while some of the quest are typical "go there, bring me this, destroy that" they are still fun. You don't need to explore all 9 planets to 100% but it is fun to do it, so why not? Right away you have fire and ice weapons which make great combo as you heat up enemies and that suddenly cool them down for extra damage. Ofc, it also work other way around :) You can combine different weapons on each ship so I recommend getting 1-2 add on weapon packs, they are worth that few euros. Fox is great and in game cut scenes and story work well together. Ship has led light where engine is so it really looks like its "on", and some weapons also have same option. Ship itself is sturdy - I play it, my 10 yo plays it, and my 5 yo play it (and he changes weapons every few minutes) - no loose parts, nothing broken Game offers you several levels - easy, normal, hard... so everyone can play on their own level Conclusion - highly recommend getting it, especially for this price (25e)

Super angekommen

Bra pris på vara men fick den ej skulle beställa om då höjt priser dåligt !!! Fick ej det gamla priset Ingen bra säljare köp ej av dem

I believe this was well worth the money. I read something that this set and game would be 40 dollars, but it may have been online purchase only. I panicked so I went here and found this set and decided to take the risk. It was amazing because I got everything and it was all in amazing condition. The set comes with a Fox McCloud figure, Arwing, two weapons (fire and ice turrets that attaches to side Arwing), human figure, poster, and the game. It was a well spent 35 dollars (cuz shipping is quite a bit) and I fully encourage you to get this if you crave this game like I did. I mainly got it for Fox McCloud and the Arwing, but the game is pretty awesome too. Don't forget the update for team StarWolf and I'm unsure when that will happen, so you get added content too. PS. I opened everything a few days ago and didn't feel like getting the other stuff ATM, but those two things are just what I really wanted. The package was also in 100% clean and protective condition.

Ho comprato questo gioco solo adesso e devo dire che ne vale davvero la pena!! Il prodotto arriva completo di tutto e il gioco è in italiano!! 🔝
