Not only does Astrodogs take inspiration from Star Fox, it also takes inspiration from the old arcade shoot em-ups like Gradius or 1942. With all these abilities you would think this would be a walk in the park right? Well you would be completely wrong. Outside of weapons, you have 1 more trick up your sleeve, a barrel roll that also repels enemy shots right back at them. Instead you’ll be using “Energy” which is also gained by shooting down enemies or obstacles. For your other weapons, you won’t be needing special ammo. You get instinct by shooting down regular enemies or missiles.

This ability slows down time and grants you free aim to take down enemies or lay waste to a boss. You also have an ability called “Instinct”. You have bombs, auto-lock missiles, continuous laser blast, and an energy shield. Right out of the gate you have an arsenal of weapons besides your trusty auto-fire gun. There are some twists that Dynamic Media Triad (the developers) put in this game that are quite refreshing. If you aren’t online all that much then you’ll still have fun with the references.įor those who love classic Star Fox games the control scheme and gameplay will feel like second nature. For those who are knowledgeable in internet memes and culture, you’re sure to get a kick out of most of the jokes. Kombo is also sporting glasses that resemble the ones Kamina wears from the hit anime Gurren Lagann. Levels also have jokes in them, like the first level Hungry CT. Kombo is a Shiba ace pilot who is supposed to resemble the “Doge” meme. Even the menus aren’t safe from the jokes and that isn’t a bad thing. Right off the bat you can tell the developers had fun putting references and internet memes in this game.
Kombo isn’t alone, though, as he has a crew helping him from their mothership (which looks like a giant steak). You play as the pilot Kombo and it’s up to you to stop WOOFER’s plans. There is an intergalactic company called WOOFER and it’s up to the Astro Dogs to stop them from taking over the solar system. As for the game’s story, it’s nothing to write home about. However, get a high enough ranking and you might unlock a new ship in the garage. Defeat said boss and the level is clear, you get a ranking and move on to the next level.
So what is Astrodogs? It’s an on the rails shooter where you pilot a single ship and have to go through levels to reach the boss at the end.
