Nintendo LifeGonçalo LopesMay 20188/10Hyper Sentinel is 'neo-retro' executed to perfection. Once you accept that the visual and audio directions are both design choices made to pay tribute to the original Commodore 64 game and sit down to take on your first Super-Dreadnought, you'll be hooked. Every time you get a 'Game Over', the only thing on your mind will be on how to prevent whatever got the best of you in preparation of your next sortie (while, at the same, time browsing the leaderboards to see how your friends are faring in each level).

Windows CentralBrendan LowryMay 20184/5 starsThough things can often get a little too crazy, Hyper Sentinel's mostly satisfying gameplay and excellent presentation make it a fantastic choice for retro gaming fans.

NintendoWorldReportMitchell PartonMay 20188/10There is a clear sense of passion here delivered through pure fun. The developers were successful in creating a new take on concepts originally conceived decades ago. This new shoot-‘em-up not only celebrates its predecessor but delivers a colorful, energetic experience that isn't easy to put down.

FourFaceButtonsDavid AedoNov 20193/10This is on the level of a decent Newgrounds flash game, but it's being sold for fifteen dollars. It's a student project being passed off as a throwback indie title that's not worth your money.

Metro GameCentralMay 20186/10An amiable but underwhelming homage to the forgotten majesty of Uridium, that adds some welcome new ideas but removes too many of the old ones.
