REVIEW: Dogfight: A Sausage Bomber Story on Nintendo Switch

 
Review by Jon Donnis
If you follow my reviews, then you will know I love me a retro style action shooter, and boy do we have a great little game in Dogfight: A Sausage Bomber Story on Nintendo Switch.

You play as a member of the Sausage Bomber Corps, your job is a simple one, defeat wave after wave of enemy fighters, and then destroy the boss, before you can progress to the next level. Action comes by way of a classic side scrolling adventure, as you control your little plane against seemingly unsurmountable odds that come from Vega Nation.

The game is non stop action, with some great humour thrown in between levels. The graphics are outstanding and of the cartoon variety.

As mentioned the game is a side scrolling action shooter, you will collect power ups, to make your weapons more powerful, you can also drop bombs as you are flying. A nice touch is the ability to switch the direction of the plane, so that you can defend yourself better from attacks coming from behind.

Super easy to pick up and play, hectic levels that never become confusing. Cracking sound track and all round good fun, multiplayer is also available, but alas I never had chance to try that.

The Good
Everthing looks and sound great, a proper old school shooter that is all about fun. The gamne plays well on a Nintendo Switch Lite, the small screen handles the game perfectly. The speed run counter is a nice touch.

The Bad
I'd kind of like an adult mode of the game, allowing you to blow escaped pilots to smithereens!

Overall
Fun little shooter, perfect for fans of the genre. Check it out!

I score Dogfight: A Sausage Bomber Story on Nintendo Switch a solid 8.5/10
