‘Blaster Master Zero’ Gets New Characters & Modes In A Free Update!

About a month ago, I reviewed Blaster Master Zero for the Nintendo Switch. (review here)

It was a fun game that successfully brought the BM series back into the public eye and also made it accessible to both old fans and newcomers alike. Developer Inti Creates isn’t just content with letting it sit on the sidelines though, as they dropped a big surprise today that the game has gotten a free update! The first thing that’s been added is Destroyer Mode. This acts essentially as a hard mode, making enemies harder to damage and having to use your weapons more effectively.

The second update is much more exciting as it introduces EX Character Mode which let’s you play as other Inti Creates characters such as Gunvolt from Azure Striker Gunvolt, and Ekoro from Azure Striker Gunvolt and Gal Gun. Both characterrs will start out as a free add for a special promotional period, but afterwards become paid DLC, but for only $1.99. Check out the trailer below for more info. Have you picked up Blaster Master Zero yet?
