Gamer Reactions:
"Hard to be accurate with the controls, I’ll just stick with knives."

This game is quite similar to BTOOM’s mobile game adaptation, however, the controls are not as friendly, causing many restrictions for the player which makes the game experience not as enjoyable overall.

"Racing against other people is quite fun, I’m getting addicted!"

Japanese Gamer Reactions:
"The game is quite interesting, but not very long lasting."
"Gave me a nostalgic feeling, then I got bored of it, Bye~"
"I quite like it, especially the Co-op mode, pretty fun."
A reboot of a 30-year old franchise, the game retains certain elements from the original title. The gameplay itself is still relative, even after 30 years since its initial launch, which is impressive enough. With a co-op system, the game can be quite fun.
▍Valhalla Front – Punishment Days
Japanese Gamer Reactions:
"Only the character design and the setting is worth looking at."
"Similar to Plants vs. Zombies, quite pointless."
"Looks like an original concept, but the style kinda has a muv-luv reference."
From the game’s setting to the character designs, this game can be considered quite refined, however the problem lies with the gameplay itself. The game features a gameplay similar to Plants vs. Zombies, which can get boring quite easily. The long loading times and crashes doesn’t help the game’s first impressions at all. Hopefully the game will have fixes soon.
