"Wild Blue Skies is developed by Chuhai Labs, a Japanese studio that used to be known as Vitei and was founded by Giles Goddard - one of the key programmers on the original Star Fox. So there's a real pedigree for the studio behind Wild Blue Skies, and it's abundantly clear right from the jump that the game is not shy, in the least, about emulating Nintendo's franchise."
"Set in a sci-fi world, Wild Blue Skies follows Bowie Stray, an anthropomorphic German Shepherd, as he leads his elite team, the Blue Bombers, against a tyrannical villain named Grimclaw. Just like Star Fox, Bowie is joined by three animal wingmen, and yes, that includes a diminutive (and kind of whiny) reptile. I was able to play through the tutorial and first three levels of Wild Blue Skies, which struck a fascinating balance between reverence for Star Fox and a desire to push the formula forward."
Nintendo's Switch era revived many classic series including Fire Emblem, Pikmin, Metroid, Xenoblade, and Famicom Detective Club. Many fans long for a new Star Fox entry after Star Fox Zero's poor reception left the franchise directionless. Wild Blue Skies, developed by Chuhai Labs (formerly Vitei) and founded by Giles Goddard, channels that legacy and replicates Star Fox's formula. The game stars Bowie Stray and the Blue Bombers battling Grimclaw, mirroring Star Fox's team dynamics and tone. Early levels balance reverence and innovation, delivering rail shooter gameplay familiar to series fans while attempting to modernize the formula.
