The game also uses a lightweight 3D engine that features virtually no loading times, making the game ideal for quick bursts. You have to battle your way through four floors, each with three opponents before taking on the big cheese waiting for you on the top floor.ĭue to the nature of the game, rounds can be quite short and duels can be won quite literally in seconds. To make things trickier, each of your opponents has a special shot that they can perform and countering these take a lot of practice. Of course your opponent is not just going to idly stand by and let that happen so the result is a furious exchange until someone misjudges a shot or are not fast enough to react to one. The game follows the rules of air hockey so you basically have to use a mallet to smash a puck across a board and past your opponent’s mallet. Don’t worry if you have never heard of the original, however, as this game can stand on its own without being propped up by nostalgia to enjoy.

Amazingly enough, this is not the first time that aliens have taken up mallets to smash around air hockey pucks in a game as this title is actually an homage to Shufflepuck Cafe, released in the late eighties. The plot in Shufflepuck Cantina Deluxe is probably not going to win any literary awards, but it does provide an excuse to take on some wacky alien critters in one-on-one games of air hockey. With defeating the aliens at their own game and wining the parts needed to repair his ship the only way to ever leave our intrepid hero embarks on a new career as an air hockey champion. As luck would have it the planet is home to a casino inhabited by a motley group of air hockey loving aliens. After somehow “accidently” jumping his spaceship through a wormhole, the human protagonist of Shufflepuck Cantina Deluxe finds himself crash landed on a desert planet somewhere deep in alien space.
