For example during score-based objectives, I could focus on keeping my thumb hovering around the dodge and secondary attack button. While I found the default settings fine the way they are, I did find myself toggling the autofire on and off during certain missions. The healthy amount of control customisation has really been well-thought-of here, from the way to steer the ship, adjusting dodge reaction times, all the way to auto-toggling certain buttons with a motive for the player not to get hand cramps when playing portably. What makes the combat all the more fun is how wonderfully tight the controls are, and how the screen stutter effect of barrel rolling on cue fires up those dopamine levels. Just getting stuck on a stage only to then ace it without a scratch feels so incredibly rewarding that you will soon be wearing out that video capture button on your Joy-Con in no time. Soaring down to sea level planting gun-toting aerial drones above a battleship, to then slam on the afterburn to pellet nose-first into the swarm of the next biggest threat never gets old. It’s fast, furious and incredibly satisfying to constantly find ways to keep astride of destruction. Once all the opposing varieties are in play and out for blood, no button on the pad will be left neglected. Some will stay hot on your tail forcing you to let go of the thrust so you can rotate to meet nose-to-nose, while others will line themselves up in an effort to spear you with a devastating dash attack. Enemies plough in thick and fast with a decent mixture of fighter jets and attack styles between them. What starts off with a pat on the back for flicking away a few bogies soon becomes a chaotic firework display of explosive jet fuel combustion, big enough to tear the perimeters of the ozone layer apart. While that’s pretty much the case for every boss fight in the game, the combat during missions really does start to shine once the difficulty begins to ramp up.
#FIGHTER JET GAMES NINTENDO SWITCH PLUS#
Not all of the upgrades are unlockable during the first playthrough, as some are kept aside for the more challenging New Game Plus mode once you have finally beaten the story.Īt first sight, the gameplay can seem like it’s never going to evolve much further than the cycle of blasting a few goons out of the sky and eight-looping giant bosses. However, it doesn’t take long until you will be wanting to quickly swap them out for far more interesting parts engineered by a talking cat named Lem. The first handful of upgrades available are more like pushbike stabilisers to ease the player into combat. There are plenty of unlockable customisable options to tweak both a secondary and chargeable special attack, along with a few extra bells and whistles to improve the overall flare of the fighter jet. Along with the basics, the L4-NC-3R has other tricks up its sleeve, such as the ability to barrel roll out of trouble which, when timed right, will instantly give you a small stockpile of ammunition that hits harder than the standard unlimited supply. The jet freely soars through the skies by simply steering the Left Stick, with buttons allocated to control the thrust, afterburn and that all-important minigun. This young mercenary finds herself piloting the mysterious fighter jet L4-NC-3R, and is keen on blasting hordes of sky pirates along with a fascination of wanting to shake hands with strange and hostile mechanical creatures who act as your periodic bosses throughout the adventure.Ĭontrolling L4-NC-3R is tight, simple and satisfyingly fun in a way that will have you breaking the sound barrier above the horizon while causing a world of chaos and carnage against anyone who tries to oppose you. You play as Ash, a prodigy aviator with a cocky attitude and an appetite for a good challenge. It’s time to get inverted in this fast-twitch, open-air shooter that will leave you always outnumbered but never outgunned. So, get ready to put down that half-inflated volleyball you found in your garden and shower off the baby oil. However, until that time finally arrives, we have Jet Lancer to look forward to – an adrenaline-fueled aerial combat game from co-developers Vladimir Fedyushkin and Nicolai Danielsen that’s backed with a banging soundtrack contribution from Battle Chef Brigade composer Fat Bard. Once the situation around the current pandemic calms down, we can all go to the cinema to see Tom Cruise take to the sky once again in a sequel that nobody ever asked for.
