This review is for the Wii U version

This game isn’t bad like Star Fox ZERO was, but it isn’t great either. See, this game has some fun gameplay moments but when you come down to it, this game is just a repetitive boring mess.

deepdoop's review of Star Fox Guard

6.5/10

Better than Star Fox Zero, strangely. I mean, it doesn't have the highs that Zero does, but at the same time it doesn't have the lows. It's a more consistent experience and a pretty decent tower defense game where you use cameras to shoot invading robots. Nothing more, nothing less, I had a good time.

On a side note, I do love how the initial boxed release comes with both Guard and Zero. That's an awesome idea, especially if Zero were a better game. They really could have had a hit on their hands if the core game was better: imagine Zero being awesome, then a second good game along with it? Oh well, maybe next time Nintendo.
