An old school arcadey shooter with a great style, Battlezone is addictive, accessible fun

It's taken a good six months for Battlezone Gold Edition to make its way to Nintendo Switch, but those months have been well worth it. The result is a port that uses the console's gyro controls to recreate the movement of a VR headset, and one that does so without making too many concessions in terms of overall performance. While it's still frustrating Switch owners have to wait so long for ports such as this, Battlezone Gold Edition could be the precedent that proves VR-orientated titles could lead a happy second life in semi-handheld form.

Battlezone Gold Edition is not only the best PlayStation VR game that I've ever played; it's also one of the best roguelikes.

So Battlezone Gold Edition is a disappointment, and the more you play through the more it’s apparent that VR is probably where this belongs. It’s a shame, I mentioned up top I was interested to see if this was still as fun as it was when you’re actually sat in the middle of a tank with enemies surrounding you at every turn. I wondered if the experience could translate to our traditional realities. It isn’t. And it doesn’t.

While a bit short on the replayability side, and with visuals that look good, but not as good as they would do so with the use of a VR headset, Battlezone: Gold Edition is a fun tank arena shooter, with a surprisingly strong strategic mindset. Just be sure to enjoy this with a bunch of other players, as solo play might get way too boring, way too soon.
