Horgihugh and Friends now available on Switch

Aksys Games has announced that Horgihugh and Friends, a retro-inspired side-scrolling shooter, is available now on Switch. The game is priced at $30 and takes up 343 MB of space.

At the end of a brutal war, countries decided to dismantle their weapons. When the Gozareans attack, two retired pilots realize their trusty vintage fighter planes are the only means of combating the alien’s powerful weapon-nullifying technologies. Taking to the skies, Hugh and Figaro are the world’s last wings of hope.

This horizontal side-scrolling shooter features vibrant retro graphics and an adorable cast of animal characters. You’ll tackle 6 challenging stages with 13 intense boss battles, but no worries, as there’s 2 difficulty settings to pick from. Take control of two pilots at the same time, since you’ll need all the help you can get!

Finally, Horgihugh and Friends features artwork by Kou (Mega Man X2, Shantae) and music by Motoaki Furukawa (Gradius II, Metal Gear, Policenauts).
