About
Blaster Master Zero is a 8-bit style top-down & sideview 2D action-adventure game that hearkens back to the golden age of the NES.
Using the original 1988 NES title "Blaster Master" from Sunsoft as a base, with the addition of new areas and bosses, new gameplay elements such as extra sub-weapons, improved gameplay, a more robust scenario, refined and expanded exploration mechanics, and more.
This of course includes new areas and bosses, and new gameplay elements such as extra sub-weapons, improved gameplay when battling outside of your SOPHIA 3rd tank, a more robust scenario, refined and expanded exploration mechanics, and more.
- On the sideview maps, take control of the battle tank SOPHIA III and explore your surroundings as you search for the entrance to the dungeon where the area's boss lurks.
- Once you find a dungeon entrance, exit SOPHIA III and make your way inside as the hero Jason and take on the mutants inside in top-down mode.
- Defeat the mid-bosses and area bosses to acquire new items, sub-weapons, upgrades to SOPHIA III and Jason's equipment, and new abilities and move to the next area.
- Incorporation of HD Rumble features into various aspects of the gameplay.
- Player 2 can provide support for Player 1 as they traverse through the game in the co-op multiplayer mode.

Blaster Master Zero is a lovely addition to the Switch's library. We suspect that it will help to fill the gap between major retail releases for anxious Switch owners looking for a low-impact game to play on the go. As Blaster Master Zero features simplistic visuals, we were able to squeeze some extra battery life out of our Switch while playing it when compared to some of the more visually intense titles already on offer.
If you've finished your launch titles already, or are just looking for something new, we highly recommend Blaster Master Zero; it's a great homage to the original and one you will have a blast (sorry) playing.

"Blaster Master Zero, from the first time I played it’s demo on the 3DS in 2017, has really stuck with me. Has it gone down in my estimations? Yeah, maybe a little. But nonetheless, I still love it, like the other two Zero games. If this is truly the worst the series has to offer, an 9/10 game, then the other two must be PRETTY damn good."

Blaster Master Zero is a slick reboot / reimagining of the already-great original NES game, Blaster Master. The talents at Inti Creates have taken Sunsoft's seminal original and transformed it into a fascinating action platformer with Metroidvania elements. It's boosted by a rich soundtrack that honors the original while adding its own new flavors. The challenge is solid without the occasional frustrations offered by the 8-bit games that inspired this smashing return of the franchise.
