With loads of local multiplayer titles out there on Switch
it’s a tough business to find a way to stand out in the crowd. In the case of
Destrobots, for me, the fact that it feels like it takes a page from the
Bomberman series, while playing in a completely different way, helps it pretty
effectively towards that goal. Taking control of your bot you’ll have the
ability to shoot twin-stick style (though not with precise analog aiming,
instead with strictly 8 directions possible) or use a spin move to try to
deflect incoming fire or at a melee attack. A variety of offensive and defensive
power-ups will continue to appear around the arena, helping to incentivize
everyone to stay on the move rather than trying to hold any given position for
long. Aside from the power-ups it’s the game’s stages, with many featuring
special elements that make play both more strategic and unpredictable, that give
me some Bomberman vibes and help to give the game more longevity than its
average competing title. Add in the fact that it sports a very fair budget price
makes it worthwhile for anyone looking for a game to enjoy with some friends.
