"Avenging Spirit is a fun arcade game that has a unique mechanic that lets you possess a variety of characters and won&s;t eat all of your coins in the process! It&s;s incredibly short but was an enjoyable experience."

"Avenging Spirit really is a cool title, but this time maybe it would have worked better as a part of a collection or if it had some significant addition to justify the release. The fact it&s;s very easy and there …"

"Avenging Spirit is a dated arcade title. Sadly, it is too simple and lacks longevity. However, it is great for completionists and will interest hardcore 90s gaming fans."

"Avenging Spirit is a lesser-known &s;90s arcade game with a unique "possession" angle that helps distinguish it from the excess of retro platformers available on the Switch. It&s;s worth a playthrough, especially if you&s;re unfamiliar with its charms."

"Avenging Spirit brings back the 1992 classic by adding a good number of visual and gameplay customization options. Although the number of titles is small, its price is also small and we will have no problem giving it a try."
