Nobody really asked for the Mario and Rabbids crossover, but I can bet money on that game being the linchpin in getting Ubisoft really behind creating for the Switch. Starlink: Battle for Atlas seems to be the first big IP for the Switch from Ubisoft, and it’s pretty darn impressive.
In Starlink: Battle for Atlas, you’re part of a group of interstellar pilots, dedicated to free the Atlas star system from the Forgotten Legends, an evil robot force. Starlink: Battle for Atlas offers a whole new gameplay experience: build your own modular Starship model, mount it on your controller, and take part in epic space combats. Equip your model with different parts and your Starship changes in game in real time. Assemble your fleet, mix and match your pilots, Starships and weapons to create your own play style and defeat the enemy.
A lot of you might think is is something new and revolutionary, but it really isn’t; and I’m not talking about the Skylanders technology. I’m probably one of only a handful of people that can remember the Captain Power television series that allowed viewers to buy toys that would interact with the content on the screen. It was wicked cool and Starlink: Battle for Atlas feels like an evolution of that technology.
The game will allow you to mix and match pilots, hulls, wings, and weapons to assemble your ideal starship with an unprecedented level of customization and creativity. Changes to your physical ship instantly appear in-game allowing you to immediately jump into the battle.
Travel seamlessly through the exotic alien worlds of the Atlas Star System. Each one of its planets has its own identity, ecosystem and wildlife. Be careful, as space is a hostile environment and will present many challenges. The world evolves depending on your actions and your choices. Everything you do has an impact on your journey, and enemies will react and fight back intelligently and take over the star system if you don’t stop them.
Build your unique play style. Experiment with different pilot abilities, weapon types, and status effects to discover and unleash devastating combos upon your enemies and overcome deadly challenges.
