Gameplay[]
The Starcrashers has gameplay like never seen before! In the Starcrashers, the player can use one character at a time during their part, but when they are all gathered, the player can swap between all the playable characters. The player must use all of the character's abilities to his/her advantage. The gameplay is also like Hyrule Warriors, in which characters fight large armies of enemies and generals on a battlefield, but instead uses the setting and characters from The Starcrashers. In each 'world', there are seven stages, each stage with their own boss. On the seventh stage, there is always a giant boss battle, except for the DLC stages. During each stage, the player must kill as much enemies and do as much 'property damage' as possible while getting to the end of the stage. Sometimes, there are specific objectives like "Chase after Andarious, or steal the gem from the Acadia Guards".
