"You might enjoy Trollhunters: Defenders of Arcadia if you&s;re a fan of the show but even if you are, there&s;s no denying just how unchallenging and unrefined of an experience it is. Here&s;s hoping that a much better Trollhunters game …"

"Trollhunters: Defenders of Arcadia is generally an unforgettable experience, devoid of any precision; A title that, if it were not for the few positive points, we would have considered its experience harmful! This game can be fun and entertaining for …"

"Trollhunters: Defenders of Arcadia, like many other games that are adopted from movies and tv series, is a weak title made to take financial advantage of the Trollhunter name. Not recommended even to the fans of the series."

"Trollhunters: Defender of Arcadia is a dull but mostly serviceable throwback to an era of gaming where licensed 2D platformers were rife. Decent writing and acting do help it stand out, but not by much."

"Trollhunters: Defenders of Arcadia is a fun, but flawed action-platformer that may deliver a lot of thrills for fans of the series, but lacks enough substance to be a must-buy for those coming in cold."

"But Trollhunters lacks the polish and finesse of Shantae. Like the majority of TV or movie tie-in games, it ultimately feels a bit soulless and hollow."

"Despite the involvement of WayForward in its development, Trollhunters: Defenders of Arcadia is, at the very best, just an average platformer. It doesn’t offer anything new in terms of gameplay and definitely doesn’t impress when it comes to its visuals."

"A series as imaginative and as entertaining as Trollhunters deserved a better tie-in video game. Defenders of Arcadia has a few enjoyable moments and it certainly looks the part but uninspired combat, tired level design and a story which feels …"
