Nintendo Switch Critic Reviews

If Strikers 1945 is an indication of the quality of titles Zerodiv will be bringing to the eShop, then Switch owners are in for a treat.

Although it's not the best example of a classic arcade shooter, Strikers 1945 is an enjoyable game to pick up and play whenever you want a fix of retro shoot 'em up action. Hopefully, we see the sequels arrive sometime down the road, too.

STRIKERS1945 is a challenging but fun experience. As you put more time and energy into the game you’ll start to see the results of your patience, slowly being able to clear more and more of its fiendish stages. The varying aircraft options allow players to find a play-style that suits them, and the option to alter the amount of lives and continues you have means that (whilst experienced arcade lovers will get the most out of this game), players who struggle can still see the game through to the end.

Thanks to a simple yet defying gameplay and varied difficulty levels, STRIKERS1945 may not feature an extended long term appeal but it brings a welcome retro experience to Nintendo Switch players.

If you’re looking to get into vertical shooters, this is a fantastic slice of ‘90s arcade goodness with a wide range of difficulty settings making it a perfect option for novices and die-hards alike.
