Kid Icarus: Uprising

Pit is back, and he is trading his NES roots for a high-octane, mythological spectacle on the 3DS. This game splits its time between frantic, on-rails aerial dogfights and more deliberate, third-person ground combat. It is a bizarre, color-drenched odyssey that leans heavily into its Greek-inspired roots while maintaining a distinct, eccentric personality. With a massive arsenal of over 100 unique weapons to customize and master, the gameplay offers surprising depth for those willing to wrestle with its unconventional control scheme. It is a visually striking, fast-moving experience that refuses to take itself too seriously.
