The NES original was a classic, but wasn't the most accessible game for newcomers. This remake has 25% of its owners earning the secret ending, showing that it's well-received by those who buy it.

I applaud this game for having unique visuals and a compelling soundtrack. However, combat turns into a rote set of choices determined by enemy attacks. The story is also spread too thin.

Even though it initially released as a handheld game, this game translates into a PC title well enough. Some features have aged, such as no auto-save ability, but it's still a quality Metroidvania.

There's some good ideas, but it falters in execution. You can be stun-locked by enemy attacks, none of the secrets have a purpose, the tone/story doesn't deliver, and you'll beat it in under 2 hours.

This game has an unfortunate combination of having too many mechanics packed into any given level, and too few levels to last all that long. It's likely to hold your attention for two hours, if that.

I'd suggest this title is mostly for those who were already fans of this game, and want it available on modern hardware. Otherwise, it's not aged amazingly, with wonky controls and stupid AI.

There's a few indications that this was an indie project, such as how awkward combat can feel. However, it's a surprisingly charming experience that'll draw you in within the first couple of hours.

An unhelpful emphasis was placed on pixel effects, which might be slowing down the game's performance. Despite some changes, the core aspects of combat are the same as always for Creeper World.

Having not played this game back when it launched, I find that it's aged poorly, mainly due to awkward, confusing controls. You also can't see much on the screen at any given time.

Some of the cars handle better than others, but overall the controls when driving feels slippery. Earning respect isn't an engaging matter to focus on when racing against the AI.
