Humanity has gone and animalkind is looking to follow. But the only way life will continue away from Earth is if a habitable planet can be found. And that calls for Space Otter Charlie.
Space Otter Charlie is a delightfully fun little Metroidvania-lite styled space adventure, one in which you take charge of a little otter – Charlie. Together with a select crew of mates, this little guy attempts to find a new home away from the ever-increasingly warming Earth. But that won’t be easy.
Equipped with a jet pack and magnetic boots, Charlie will need to swim through Zero-G, utilising his swift otter body to twist this way and that, dodging obstacles and foes in the process. With a helpful Build Bot capable of sorting Charlie out with numerous weapons should he need them, this is one adventure that fast takes on a destructive nature.
Priced at £9.99, Space Otter Charlie comes to Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PS4, Nintendo Switch and PC to allow gamers on all formats the chance to explore space stations, traverse planets and to hunt down secrets, making the most of the elements given to you in the process.Â
A single player campaign is right at the heart of the action, but then there’s also the inclusion of local multiplayer deathmatch arenas too. Honestly, we love the campaign, but aren’t sure there is really a need for the tacked on multiplayer aspect – but give our full review of Space Otter Charlie on Xbox Series X a read and see what you think for yourself.
Features include:
- • Zero-G Platforming – Turn your brain upside down as you jump, float, and rocket your way through physics-fueled levels.
- • Cool Gear and Upgrades – Craft new gear and unlock new space otter skills from parts you find along the way. Pull out your Reflector Ray to ricochet your shots around corners or leave a path of destruction as you slide through enemies with the Electric Slide. From Jetpacks to missile launchers, Charlie’s got all the coolest toys.
- • Wacky Space Suits – Sure, an otter’s gotta wear a suit to survive the deadly vacuum of space, but he can still look great (and CUTE) doing it! Plans for new suits are hidden through the game – each with a fun new look and its own unique and powerful weapon! Want to see an otter wearing a shark suit? Charlie’s got you covered.
- • Action-Packed Multiplayer – Looking for more action? Battle your friends in frantic 4-player arenas. Fight for food supremacy in So Urchin mode, or just let the fur fly in a Furry Fury deathmatch.
