Warhammer 40,000: Dakka Squadron gets March 2024 release on Nintendo Switch
A few years after its initial release on Steam, Warhammer 40,000: Dakka Squadron will make the jump to the Nintendo Switch soon.
Announced today, the game will land on the Nintendo eShop on March 8. A trailer for the Nintendo Switch release can be seen below. The game can be wishlisted on the Nintendo eShop here.
A synopsis for Warhammer 40,000: Dakka Squadron reads:
Warhammer 40,000: Dakka Squadron is an aerial shooter from the well-known franchise. This time, players will control a commander pilot of a fighter plane. Dynamic action of mid-air fights meet precise strikes of grounded targets – planet takeover has never been more fun!
Players can choose from five available Ork clans, each with their own bonuses – like max armor or more damage – and… a characteristic approach to other clans. Let’s just say that there is a reason why they’re at war.
During the campaign, players will be able to unlock and assign new ship models, weapons (SHOOTY and BLASTY DAKKA), and look over the stats of their plane. Except for the purely technical customization, there are also plenty of colors to choose from.
Who wouldn’t like to be called The Pink Blight on the battlefield, right?
Once the commander has been deployed, their assigned missions can go from defending a point, to a dogfight. They vary in complexity and length – many things can change at once while on the battlefield. Explosions, explosions, and even more explosions will be a pretty good indicator of a successful assault.
Though better watch out for the state of the plane – it might be a war machine, but it has own health pool and durability. It’s worth to keep an eye on the ORK-STYLE UI for reference.
