Our take on Jetboard Joust
Story-focused players may bounce off at the outset: the game explicitly offers no story, placing the focus on combat instead. The next sticking point is the shifting arsenal, since each playthrough changes the available weapon selection and asks players to adapt.
What is Jetboard Joust?
Jetboard Joust is an arcade-style shooter with roguelike elements.
Players fly on a rocket-powered jetboard, fight alien enemies, and can leap off the board for temporary invincibility. Each run offers a different selection from over thirty weapons, each with its own advantages and upgrade path. More than fifty enemy types use weapons and special attacks. The game also includes large bosses fought across multiple stages; defeating them lets players use their attacks. Players choose routes through battlegrounds on five planets, finding treasure, upgrades, and weapons along the way. Cash taken from defeated enemies can be spent on upgrades for the jetboard, jetsuit, and weapons. The vendor describes the game as fast-paced and says it has no story.
