Queens can also prevent opposing drones from becoming warriors by tagging the level’s gates with their team’s colour.

Queens are effectively a more powerful warrior drone, but if your team’s queen is taken out by enemy combatants more than three times then that’s a victory for the opposition.

Drones can collect berries and take them back to the hive, or ride a snail along a path along the bottom of the level – filling the hive or reaching the finish line will result in a victory for your team!ĭrones can also enter one of several gates in the level to become a warrior drone and gain the ability to fly and take out enemy players, at the expense of being able to collect any berries or mount any mollusc steeds. This version is scaled back 2 players from the arcade edition and runs as a 4v4 match, with three players on each team playing drones and one player as the titular queen.

In eSports and competitive gaming circles the game has developed a cult following, with hype being drummed up via a trailer in June’s Nintendo Direct and a beta for the PC version earlier this year.

If you’ve been lucky and/or American enough to have a run at the arcade version of Killer Queen, you’re likely getting pretty excited getting into this review.
