Star Fox Guard (Japanese: スターフォックス ガード[2] Hepburn: Sutā Fokkusu Gādo?) is a tower defense video game co-developed by Nintendo and PlatinumGames for the Wii U. The game was bundled as a separate disc for the first print edition of Star Fox Zero during its release in April 2016, and as a digital download code in later prints.[3] The game is also available separately on the Wii U eShop.[4]

Gameplay

Star Fox Guard is a 3D tower defense game in which players must protect various bases, owned by Slippy Toad's uncle, Grippy, from oncoming attackers by monitoring security cameras. The television displays footage from all of the available security cameras while the Wii U GamePad features an overhead view of the base. To defend the base's core, players must watch the monitors carefully for any oncoming attackers and switch control to one of the available cameras in order to fire its weapon. Enemies are divided into two classes; Combat robots, which must all be defeated in order to progress, and Chaos robots, which hinder the player by tampering with the cameras, such as obscuring the view or showing fake footage. The game features 100 missions and an editor mode that allows players to edit the behavior of enemies in levels and share them online.[5]

Development

Star Fox Guard was originally announced by Super Mario series creator Shigeru Miyamoto at E3 2014, as "Project Guard".[6] The game was officially renamed as Star Fox Guard during a Nintendo Direct presentation on March 3, 2016.[7]

Star Fox Guard received mixed reviews, according to video game review aggregator Metacritic.[8] Jose Otero from IGN gave it a 7.8/10, praising its clever enemies, controls, and extra missions, but criticizing the simple campaign and bland graphics.[10] Jonathan Harrington from Nintendo Enthusiast gave it a 9/10, praising its awesome game play, enemy and stage variety, and the online sharing, but criticizing the lack of humor, and low budget visuals and music.[citation needed] Stephen Totilo from Kotaku stated that despite it having "just about nothing to do with the aerial shooting gameplay people associate with Star Fox", it was "one of Nintendo’s most distinct games in years".[13]
