Challenge up to six fellow pilots in Versus Mode via local multiplayer, Steam Remote Play Together, or Parsec. Or work together in the campaign Bounty Mode in smaller groups of one to three, taking on various high-risk jobs to eliminate hordes of enemies for precious bounties. Unlock Cash Grab Mode, where anthropomorphic astronauts can team up in a high-stakes heist to defend or steal a top-secret safe.
Developer Wild Rooster has offered a fast-paced, frantic multiplayer game that will have you yelling and screaming for all the right reasons. The anarchic Chaos Mode is an appreciable inclusion that, when combined with the quantity and quality of stages, earn Astro Duel the right to its deluxe name. Where it falls short on that title is the absence of a meaningful single player option (beyond duelling with AI), which the premium shift in price perhaps merited. Apart from that the retro-tastic soundtrack keeps all battles thrilling along with a smart, convenient control-scheme that makes any spare moment accessible for play. It's certainly one to consider for those seeking local multiplayer thrills on their Switch.
