The team behind FUR Squadron is back with a brand-new entry in the series. Titled FUR Squadron Phoenix, this sequel continues the fast-paced, arcade-style space combat that made the original a hit among fans of Star Fox and classic rail shooters. The game has been officially confirmed for both PC and the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2.
What to Expect
FUR Squadron Phoenix builds upon the original’s vibrant visual style and synthwave soundtrack. Players can look forward to:
- Expanded levels with branching paths
- Refined controls and improved combat mechanics
- New enemy types and boss battles
- A deeper narrative with fully voiced characters
The game retains its unique mix of furry character designs and neon-infused sci-fi environments that give it a distinct personality in the shmup genre.
A Blend of Star Fox and Rogue Squadron
While FUR Squadron Phoenix clearly draws heavy inspiration from Star Fox’s rail shooter formula, its developers have also taken cues from the Rogue Squadron series. Expect dynamic dogfights, cinematic camera angles, and more free-form combat segments that give the game a more modern and varied feel. This hybrid approach aims to appeal to both nostalgic fans and players looking for something fresh.
