So is the game fun? In the first few stages, I was enjoying myself quite a bit. In addition, you can purchase one-shot special abilities that do things like slow down time allowing you to take precision shots when the action gets too crazy.

These upgrades are vital to progression, as later waves throw way too many enemies at you to handle with weaker ships and the single cannon you have control over. As you progress, you'll earn upgrades to purchase bigger ships or upgrade your existing ones. Your warships can only fire about 6-7 shots at a time, which will reload over time. You have no control over the actual ships, just the cannons. If I had to compare this game to anything, it would be the arcade classic Missile Command. Your missiles are a bit slow, so you have to 'lead' your shots so that your enemies fly into the path of your shots. You begin the game in control of a warship and the game involves controlling the cannons and weapons to shoot down incoming threats. The screenshots sold me on the game, so how does this blind buy stack up?īattle Group 2 is obviously a port of a mobile game, with an interface and control method that screams iOS or Android (touch control is supported in handheld mode).
#BATTLE GROUP 2 SWITCH REVIEW FOR FREE#
Recently I stumbled across the military-themed Battle Group 2 and picked it up for free using my stockpiled reward points. I've found some amazing games this way, like the fantastic Blood 2 and with many games available for under $2, its easy to take a risk on these low-priced entries. Occasionally I'll browse the Nintendo eShop looking for something cheap and quick to add to my Switch.
