[Análisis] Astro Bears for Nintendo Switch – iGamesNews.com

In a very, very, very distant galaxy, the bears have taken power and have become the owners of space, will they conquer us with their game?

Astro Bears is presented as a game where the company is very important, touching the obligatory, and we will have to take control of one of the 8 bears that completes the squad in order to bite the dust to our opponents.

Playability

Astro Bears puts us in the skin in a handful of bears with their own skills, each with its own characteristics, for example, we have Cybear who is able to withstand a blow more than his opponents sacrificing his speed or the use of the jet pack, this makes the player must choose his character wisely.

We talked about a game where the multiplayer element is its main virtue, this has two readings, on the one hand, we have the positive part, and that is that playing it in company makes the game fun, creating losses of friendship, divorces or family breaks thanks to the great bites that can occur, such as counterpart, we find the limited possibilities offered to those who play alone. At the playable level Astro Bears takes elements already known as seen in Tron or Snake, mainly the game is based on touring different planets (of different sizes) where the characters leave behind a trail that can not be touched by the opponent or by the player himself, we will have the possibility of running for a limited time to be able to trap our enemies, in addition, the possibility of using the Jet Pack for a limited time is added, we have a circle of energy that will be consumed after each use and that will be filled when it stops using, this makes strategy and agility be the best ally of the player, then we find the single player variant, where you will have to travel the planet in order to collect the different rocket fish and get the coveted goldfish, if you fail, you will have to start over, this mode is also available for two players.

The previous paragraph explains what Astro Bears is at the playable level and reveals its biggest problem, just getting bored after a couple of hours. The game has several game modes designed and dedicated to the multiplayer, as an all against all or a competition mode, but they are very similar to each other giving a continuous feeling of deja vu, this does not mean that it is a fun game and that achieve the difficult goal of players engaging game after game, but from there Astro Bears ends, is missing more variety of mini-games

Graphics and sound

Visually, the game of Sonka fulfills its mission, without more pretensions or technical boasts, can be summed up in a sphere surrounded by empty scenarios, characters with a cold and improvable artistic design but they don't clash when the action begins.

The games are accompanied by a music that will make us go back to the 80s perfectly accompanying what we have on screen, many of them catchy.

conclusion

Astro Bears is a fun game especially its multiplayer side, but its low variety of mini-games makes the player run the risk of getting bored after a few hours. The mode for a player has been very limited becoming a game not recommended if it will be played without company.
