Jet Lancer Gets Free Arcade Mode Update on Switch and Black Friday Sale
Jet Lancer, the excellent aerial combat game I thoroughly enjoyed, is getting a new free update on the Nintendo Switch which will add an arcade mode that takes the game’s frantic dog-fighting and combines it with an endless wave-based approach.
Not only that, but the game is currently 34% off on the eShop currently to celebrate Black Friday, so if you have not had a chance to pick up this fantastic title, now is the time to do it.
Arcade Mode unlocks for all players through playing the main story campaign, after completing OP 21: Airshow.
Vladimir Fedyushkin, Lead Designer at Code Wakers added, “Tweaking Jet Lancer’s formula to utilize existing mechanics in a new way is an avenue I really wanted to explore, and Arcade Mode is a perfect way to do it.“
The update will include:
- An endless wave-based score-attack mode.
- Unique, stacking upgrades, making each run one-of-a-kind. The longer you survive, the more powerful you become.
- Multi-boss battles – fight multiple bosses from the story mode at the same time.
- Three new pilots with unique jets and handling.
- New Progressions system to unlock additional pilots and their jets
- Three new primary weapons
- Flamethrower: Immense repeatable damage at very close range.
- Railgun: Instantaneous precision shots.
- Coil Gun: Chain lightning between grouped enemies.
In addition to the free update for all players, Jet Lancer will be on sale on the Switch eShop from tomorrow, with a giant 34% discount to celebrate Black Friday. This brings the price of the game down to $9.89 / €9.89 / £8.90
Jet Lancer’s Arcade Mode is available as a free update on Nintendo Switch from tomorrow, November 26th, so please be sure to get back into the saddle and fire up those engines!
