Starlink: Battle for Atlas is an action-adventure video game for the Nintendo Switch developed by Ubisoft Toronto. The game uses toys-to-life ship models and pilots to allow the player to customize how they play, but all the ships can be purchased as digital add-on content if desired.
Plot
The game is set in the Atlas star system. Early on in the game the player's mothership, the Equinox, is ambushed by the Forgotten Legion and crashes on a nearby planet; the captain of the Equinox is taken hostage. The Legion's leader, Grax, is obsessed with an extinct race called the Wardens; who left much of their ancient technology behind. Grax, who wants to use such technology for his own legion, acts as a constant threat that the player must face throughout their journey.
Exclusive to the Nintendo Switch version, is the cross over of the Star Fox series, where Fox McCloud, Falco Lombardi, Peppy Hare, and Slippy Toad provide aid to the main Starlink characters while on their mission to hunt down Wolf O'Donnell.
