"Cotton 100% is alright. It’s a fun romp, but when put up against most modern shooters, and practically every other Cotton game released this year, it just feels a bit lacking. The existence of Cotton Reboot really invalidates this game’s …"

"For a console shmup from 1994, Cotton 100% has held up exceptionally well with its distinct style and enjoyable magic-based gameplay."

"As someone that really enjoyed Cotton Reboot, Cotton 100% is quite the downgrade even given its age. Too easy, too simplistic, a bare minimum port – it’s an average shooter at best."

"Cotton 100% is a very good port of a pretty niche game, but it does have some stuff to iron out. The original game is here fully intact and still just as fun as ever, but the buggy visual options, …"

"Cotton 100% is a fantastically fun game. The stages are way too short, though, and that&s;s a drag given the $14.99 price tag. But is its price a show stopper? That&s;s up to you, the consumer. Still, Cotton 100% is …"

"Cotton 100% doesn’t do a lot to stand out so you could probably pass up this cute ‘em up. I’m glad that it got a western release finally though and some of the extra features do make it a bit …"

"A solid port of an important game in the series. It&s;s just a shame that it&s;s not that interesting mechanically. Still, it&s;s a fun time and the quality of life additions make it a lot more approachable to newcomers."
