Console gamers looking for a nostalgic, high-energy multiplayer experience are in luck. Publisher DOJO System and independent developer TEAM Black Hat Robot have officially launched Space Dragons on PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox Series X|S. Priced at an accessible €12.99, the frantic co-op arcade shoot 'em up makes its highly anticipated leap to home consoles following a successful and warmly received run on PC via Steam.
Space Dragons captures the pure, unadulterated spirit of the classic coin-op cabinet. The setup is blissfully straightforward: two players on the same couch, a screen packed with incoming projectiles, and massive bosses that take up half the frame. The title intentionally strips away the modern bloat of long tutorials and complex mechanics, requiring nothing more from players than a fire button, a bomb, and sharp reflexes.
Set within a beautifully rendered pixel-art universe, the game demands that players blast through relentless waves of enemies and dodge seemingly impossible swarms of bullets. What truly sets the title apart, however, is its dedicated local co-op design. Every stage, enemy wave, and screen-filling encounter is specifically crafted to be survived together, fundamentally shifting how players must read and react to the unfolding chaos on screen. To keep the action fresh, players can also choose from a variety of distinct ships to pilot, each offering a unique feel.
The project is helmed by TEAM Black Hat Robot, an independent studio with developers based across Chile and Mexico. The team is deeply embedded in the shoot 'em up genre, previously gaining recognition for titles like Q-YO Blaster and Little Fighters on Stream. With Space Dragons, they bring their signature high-tempo pacing and character-driven visual style to a broader console audience.
Featuring full English language support and a pure focus on offline, two-player local cooperative play, Space Dragons is available to download digitally starting today across all major console storefronts.
