Arcade action on the Nintendo Switches of the Europe is set to take on a whole new level with the coming of A Duel Hand Disaster: Trackher. This game from Ask an Enemy Studios is a split screen twin-stick shooter.
Despite being a split-screen experience, it's actually a singleplayer experience. It diverges from the traditional shmup formula by letting you control two ships simultaneously while they do two different tasks. On the left, you destroy incoming enemies to gain points. On the right, you recover resources in the hopes of adding multipliers to your score. You take damage on the left; on the other, you don't.
If that sounds too simple for you. A Duel Hand Disaster: Trackher has another trick up its sleeve. In order for you to keep your scores, you'll have to extricate yourself from the mission intact. That's right. No more dying until you reach that elusive high score. It's up to you to decide your own limits in achieving your next best score. You die, and you lose all your progress to hubris.
A Duel Hand Disaster: Trackher is also currently on Steam Early Access but it has been released on the Switch last Jun 10, with only two critic reviews at the moment: a 2.00 from Pure Nintendo, and a more generous 7.50 from Nintendo Enthusiast. While not exactly Best Switch Games material, it's still might be a fun pickup for arcade shmup fans.
It's set to make its European debut on September 3rd. Pre-ordering the game will net you a 10% discount.
