Our take on Project Starcrash
The focus on oversized-arm combat gives the game a clear central mechanic, but narrows the combat vocabulary around punching and throwing. Players looking for varied weapon loadouts or broad character builds may find less room for experimentation.
What is Project Starcrash?
Project Starcrash is a side-scrolling action platformer about an android fighting a robotic alien invasion after scientists open a space portal.
