Tango Fiesta is a top-down co-operative two stick shooter for 1 to 4 players. It is set in a world where the events from every single 80's action film ever made actually happened to one unlucky ex-special-forces hero called John Strong, you and up to three friends get to blast, shoot, knife, and rescue your way through endless procedurally generated levels in the ultimate story of a one man army prevailing against every evil the world has ever known!

SoftpediaAndrei DobraSep 20158/10Tango Fiesta is a blast to play, both solo as well as with friends. The tongue-in-cheek tone, plus the slick mechanics make for an enjoyable time, while the procedurally-generated level layouts ensure that coming back to it is never dull. It does take a while to get used to its twin-stick shooting, as well as its enemies that get quite aggressive as you progress through the movies.

PS3Blog.netJun 201780/100Tango Fiesta is a fun action-packed release on PS4 that is very fun in single player, and even more fun with some buddies in local co-op. The game gets crazy hectic and challeging with a full group, but that's a big part of its charm, right? If you're up for the challenge, then you should get this tribute to the 1980's action movies today!

COGconnectedJames PaleyMay 201775/100There's just enough plot here to act as a vehicle for the many cheesy one-liners which are the meat of this game's script.

FingerGunsSean DaviesMay 20172/10When the game is working as it should, the slick gunplay, simple premise, abrasive sense of humour and clean art style make it an enjoyable playlist co-op game for when you're having some friends over for pizza and gaming. It's a shame that the journey from PC to PS4 has been so rough and that Tango Fiesta is so filled bugs and glitches that I find this version hard to recommend to anyone. Do yourself a favour and go for a Tango Siesta instead (or get the game on PC).

TheXboxHubNeil WattonJun 20171.5/5 starsIf you really must engross yourself in some 1980’s film culture, then drag out that old VHS recorder and watch Terminator for the millionth time. Just don’t bother spending time, money or effort on Tango Fiesta.
