Star Fox Zero

About

Star Fox Zero is a co-op shooter where you and a partner take on roles in the Arwing spacecraft. One player uses the Wii U GamePad to aim and fire while the other controls flight on the TV. This split-screen setup lets you tackle enemies from different angles during space battles. The game adds land-based segments where you switch to walking, tank, or flying modes to explore alien worlds. Combat mixes quick dogfighting with platforming challenges as you navigate varied environments. The dual-screen mechanic is its standout feature, offering a fresh twist on co-op gameplay. Transforming the Arwing into a Walker or tank changes up traversal but feels unevenly balanced. While some praise its inventive controls and tight shooting, others found the single-player campaign too short. It works best with a friend but still delivers a solid, if polarizing, sci-fi action experience.
