Three ladies could use a copilot as they work to hose enemies down with bullets, all while gently weaving through complex attacks, in Ghost Blade HD.
Ghost Blade HD stars three different pilots (and their unique ships), having them going up against some sort of well-armed, yet oddly incompetent, threat. Using your unique weapons (and maybe picking a few new ones up along the way), you’ll need to carve your way five stages of metallic menaces and big bosses. Nothing a few ladies on a road trip together can’t handle.
The drag is, someone is always going to the the third wheel and get left out. The game features a local co-op mode, but that means one friend is always left behind. That’s a sad story in and of itself. Someone is going to be pretty upset in the group chat once you two get back from the edges of space.
Ghost Blade HD features three difficulty levels to suit your desire to be shot at, a couple of game modes for you to fiddle around with, and global leaderboards so you can show off how good you are at dodging bullets and plugging machines. Should be a good time, although you really ought to find a way to bring that third friend along for the ride. You’ve been friends forever, and letting an alien threat get in the way of your relationship with them is just an awful thing to do.
Ghost Blade HD is available now on the Nintendo Switch.
