Starlink: Battle for Atlas (Switch)

I wasn't sure how I'd feel about another game that had you purchasing separate real life pieces but we were pleasantly surprised. The whole family has loved the game. The in-game violence is not extreme and I'd say appropriate for kids 7+ up to adults. I'm most surprised that my husband loves the game so much but I suppose it doesn't matter if a spaceship is attached or not, he loves video games. Also, we soon learned that you don't HAVE to purchase the actual pilot/weapon packs, you can game them in-game. This prevents a lot of little toys lying around and/or getting lost. I definitely recommend this route for sure especially if you have other little ones in the house.

Searching for cool Christmas gifts for my nine-year-old son isn’t easy. He’s almost beyond the toy stage and has just about everything possible in his bedroom closet, so finding something that will pique his interest and excite him for the holidays is definitely a challenge. This year, I discovered Starlink Battle for Atlas for his Nintendo Switch video game system. He is constantly playing something on the Nintendo Switch, whether we are at home or in the car and this is one game that he doesn’t already have so it’s perfect! He loves a video game that provides action and cool characters or scenarios and the Starlink Battle for Atlas game has it all! We actually didn’t wait until Christmas to experience this new game and considered it an early Christmas present…I’m so glad we did!

This game is a lot of fun, between choosing which pill to fly with, and easily in game change pilot, ship, and weapons. I also like the side quests and how big Atlas is, it makes killing the enemies, and exploring more fun. There was zero lag between maps, no obnoxious loading in gameplay. I appreciate that! Overall I look forward to unlocking more, expanding my pilots and weapon kits. We have to save the Captain! I had fun, and so did the kids playing.

If you love space exploration/shooter games than Starlink Battle for Atlas is for you! This game is comprised of huge open worlds, great bosses (primes) and a plethora of starfox content in the switch version of the game! The included arwing accessory for the joy con grip is amazing and makes you feel like your manning the ship! With the added portability factor of the switch this is a shooter game you should not sleep on especially if you’re a starfox fan!

My son has fallen in love with the Star Fox series and Starlink Battle for Atlas is a perfect continuation of the original games. The plus is the creative aspects that are involved in the new game. With the ability to customize your ships you can find new ways to complete the different missions. I also love the scientific aspect that is included when you have to do DNA research to learn about the different creatures in the game.
