Welcome to our review of the arcade game called A Duel Hand Disaster: Trackher, out now on Nintendo Switch.
The only Split Screen Single Player Twin Stick Risk ‘Em Up in which your score is meaningless unless you exist. Destroy the Left. Recover the Right. A Duel Hand Disaster: Trackher was created in El Paso, Texas.
No cutscenes, just action.
The primary goal is to get a high score, however, the only way to keep your score is to extract with it. You cannot play until death. If you die, not only do you wipe your current score, you risk the chance of wiping your leaderboard position as well. How do you ask? The lower your health the higher the bonus the greater the risk. Every time you extract your score is marked. Why you ask? Why not?
You will be controlling two ships simultaneously. The devil is in the details. The left side is invincible, however shooting and moving consumes your LINK. In order to restore it you must recover MATERIAL on the right side. MATERIAL multiplies your overall score so use it with absolute discretion.
On the right side you are recovering resources and will need 12 PARTS to extract and mark your leaderboard position. Don’t doubt yourself. Push yourself. You will be rewarded and you will be tested. Each Tear consists of new challenges with hella bonuses attached to them. Focus, overcome, and survive.
If you want a challenge you came to the right place.
A Duel Hand Disaster: Trackher makes the most primary of mistakes possible, it brings a strange mechanic to the table and ignores the tutorial.
Yes, you got it, by reading the prior introduction, you already know more than everything presented to you in the game itself. Ignore the double-stick shooter and the smart idea behind this game, if you start it up without knowing what to do, you end up breaking the link every single game, you end up rage quitting or even throwing your Switch into the wall.
I found this aspect very frustrating and this aspect will also strongly influence this otherwise mediocre game. I admit the lack of information ruined my initial impression and while I did try to really get into the game, I just had no fun at all.
Despite a decent enough price point, I just can not suggest the purchase of A Duel Hand Disaster: Trackher. It just does not cut it. I hereby strongly advise the developers to at least include a working tutorial in their game instead of the package presented to us right now.
I wish I could write some fun stuff about this game, but when your initial impression gets so soured by almost every game being the exact same way, I just tell my real-life friends to stay away from it and buy something else.
In conclusion, I think my opinion has been made very clear. In its current form, this is a title to avoid if intended for children. Spend your hard-earned cash on something else…
