Astro Duel

Astro Duel is a shoot 'em up game developed by Rusty Moyher and published by Wild Rooster.

[1][2] A Nintendo Switch port titled Astro Duel Deluxe developed by Panic Button was released in May 2017.

While he panned Classic Mode, calling it a "disappointing abyss" where "fighting CPU opponents "can only hold up so long" he praised the "great quality and quantity" of the levels provided, each of which he found brought "different landscapes to maneuver and obstacles to avoid."

He praised the "diverse" array of maps and options which he felt "provided variety" and the "simple but well-executed" controls while bemoaning the "short-lived" single player mode and the "sterile exercise" of fighting the CPUs within.

Further derision was aimed at the lack of an online multiplayer mode as well as finding other people to play with as Poskitt felt the game "wasn't for everyone".
