Turrican Flashback

"Make no mistake, Turrican Flashback is a nice retro throwback. But I wish Factor 5 and publisher ININ Games did more to make it the proper celebration of the series it could have been. Aside from four pixel-perfect ports, there …"

"It&s;s a pity that the Turrican Flahsback collection doesn&s;t include any extra at all and Super Turrican 2, arguably one of the better games of the bunch. The price point is also too high, but the games included are great."

"Turrican Flashback is a great way to enjoy four fantastic retro games. The extra features and various display options and rewind are most welcome and each game runs great on the Nintendo Switch. Some titles are sadly absent in this …"

"With four games as a showcase of the exploratory level design of early 1990s European-style run-and-gun titles, Turrican Flashback&s;s ex-Factor 5 games had an undeniable x-factor, and the first two Amiga Turrican releases are noteworthy as some of the best …"

"I loved coming back to one of the best platformer shooters from my youth, the soundtrack is still banging along with solid yet to beaten gameplay."

"The Turrican franchise features some of the toughest and most punishing run and gun platforming gameplay you will ever come across. Especially the first game. As the series moved out to the consoles, gameplay became more balanced as Factor 5 …"

"In terms of the games themselves, the Turrican Flashback collection is a great way to replay the classic series, with or without the rewind and saving mechanics. However, in terms of a collection that is celebrating the 30th anniversary, it …"

"A compilation of some good and some average games, but given the historic nature of them all, it&s;d have been nice to see a bit more effort put into this package."

"A great collection of legitimate classics that are still fantastic fun to play. If you enjoy run and gun games and have never played the Turrican games this is the best way to experience them today."

"Turrican Flashback revives the 8-16 bit era but lacks new features to make it a collectible gem. The included games are still fun and fresh, but a more comprehensive update would be appreciated."

"For $29.99, you get a fun collection with Turrican Flashback, but it&s;s one you may want to wishlist if you&s;re not an enthusiast. It takes a more straightforward approach when it comes to Nintendo Switch compilations, one that&s;s hard to …"

"As a port, the Turrican Flashback collection cannot be faulted – these are perfect conversions of some all-time greats. Although the collection is missing some of the others in the series, £7.50 per game isn&s;t bad value and given the …"
