Panzer Paladin

"Panzer Paladin is a fair length, true to itself, action-platformer. Between its ever-growing difficulty, including a few spikes here and there, and the fact it knows what it wants to do and dives right into it, it’s hard to fault …"

"Panzer Paladin is one of the best retro-inspired games to be released recently so if you love 8-bit 2D action then you&s;ll definitely want to play it as it masterfully combines existing and novel concepts into one cohesive and enjoyable …"

"The ability to create weapons and the way you use them to fight in this retro platformer is fantastic. The aesthetic for Panzer Paladin is also awesome, but the first half of the game&s;s level design and slow platforming leaves …"

"With fresh combat mechanics, plenty of features, and a ton of replayability, Panzer Paladin is the latest great retro-action platformer that is worth your time."

"Oh my. What a waste of potential. Panzer Paladin could’ve been something special. While I’m a fan of the genre and visuals, the gameplay falls flat due to too many annoyances. The sluggish movement, clunky checkpoint system, useless upgrades, ineffective …"

"In the end, the whole package is thoroughly fun, but it lacks that certain something that such a title needs to become a retro classic. Nonetheless, the title is worth a recommendation for all those who want to devour a …"

"If taking a trip back in time with an old-fashioned platforming game sounds like a good time to you, Panzer Paladin won’t disappoint."

"Panzer Paladin brings with it a strong load of reference to games from the eternally classic NES. But also from Japanese animations so popular around the world. The unpretentious plot, the beautiful visual presentation, the exciting soundtrack, the varied game …"

"Panzer Paladin&s;s heavily old-school-flavored action is a blast from the past from beginning to end."

"I&s;m hoping Panzer Paladin gets ironed out post-release because despite the above paragraph, the game is a huge amount of fun when it works."

"If Panzer Paladin was an episode of Voltron, I would re-watch it every week. Since it’s not, I’ll just settle for keeping this additive retro-inspired title on a regular gaming cycle. Panzer Paladin has won me over with its soundtrack, …"

"When you want to feel like a powerful mech rider carving through massive demons, Panzer Paladin just can&s;t be beat."

"As it stands, Panzer Paladin is a good tribute that comes with rockin’ music and a lovely dose of 2D action. It needs a bit more work to rise above the many 2D clones, but it still warrants a playthrough …"

"In its current state, Panzer Paladin is more of a chore to play than it is a joy, and as someone who enjoys challenging games, that’s really a shame."

"Tribute Games tapped into a treasure trove of classic games, and that adoration shines bright in Panzer Paladin. In a year already full of great action-platformers, this one shouldn&s;t be skipped."

"Simply said, Panzer Paladin is just super cool."

"Overall, Panzer Paladin was actually better than I thought it might be. It wasn’t quite perfect, but it came really damned close. If they had done things like make Remixed a bit more different than Classic, or ironed out the …"

"While I have a great deal of nostalgia for the 8-bit era since I played a ton of games back in those days, going back can be a bit rough..."

"Panzer Paladin is a combination of games from the past that were the best of the best, with slight improvements tossed in for good measure. If you&s;re a fan of the action-platformer genre, there&s;s something here to enjoy, a casual …"

"A worthy homage to the early Mega Man games, but some aspects of retro design would be better left in the old days"

"Panzer Paladin is the kind of game I dreamed of as a kid. A flashy and colourful platformer with nearly a hundred weapons, over a dozen levels, cool anime art, and even the ability to draw my own weapons? It&s;s …"

"Panzer Paladin adopts a bit of every NES platformer you played as a kid, and the result is a little chaotic, but a lot of fun."

"Is Panzer Paladin worth the price of admission? Well, although it does make use of the Mega Man formula, it doesn’t really do much with it and even lacks the elements that made those games memorable. Still, at least it …"

"Panzer Paladin&s;s uncomplicated gameplay won&s;t be for everyone and there are some very minor niggles that hold it back from true greatness. Even so, it has heart, and that goes a long, long way. If you&s;re into retro throwback games …"

"Overall, though, Panzer Paladin is a charming, satisfying platformer that I enjoyed immensely. It even manages to do the impossible: make at least one aspect of Zelda II enjoyable."
