Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Challenging and short, but lots of fun
This game was surprisingly challenging for the low price, and I thought the graphics were great and the music was very nostalgic of the 80s. The content is not that long, but then again, it’s only a $10 game. Absolutely worth it for the price.
Rated 1 out of 5 stars
Attempt to lure you in with nostalgia
This game is a mix of 1980s game styles. The problem is that the main story is dull and you only get a small snippet of each game. For example the part where the game turns into a Streets of Rage style game ends too shortly after it begins and you’re just shuffled off to the next game. It’s very on rails and short mini games and no character depth. I wasnt impressed as it left me wanting much more than it gave.
