We may not have a new Star Fox game, but Publisher Raptor Claw is bringing something very close with Fur Squadron.
Fur Squadron is releasing on Steam and Nintendo Switch on March 17th, 2023 for$6.99, and looks very much like classic Star Fox, but with some more colour and effects, and feels like Star Fox as designed by Jeff Minter. In addition, even the main characters look like they were designed to be similar to Star Fox characters like Fox McCloud, Peppy Hare, and Slippy Toad.
Here’s some more info from Raptor Claw on the game’s features:
– An action and narrative-driven on-rails adventure with a classic 90’s shooter flair.
– Smooth and quick gameplay through levels full of enemies and massive bosses. Unlock their secrets and power-up your star ship for maximum performance.
– Six Levels. Three levels of difficulty piloting a variety of ships.
– Original synthesizer soundtrack to match the retrowave aesthetics.
– A lovely axolotl!
