Apr 18, 2017Blaster Master Zero is what a nostalgic game update should be. It isn't bogged down in the past, and it doesn't lose what makes the original game so memorable and fun. It's not quite a masterpiece, but it's a ton of fun to play. Whether you're getting a new upgrade or battling a brutal mutant, it's a well-paced and enjoyable experience. Fans of the franchise should be delighted, and those who have never played the original Blaster Master will find Zero a much better place to start.

Apr 6, 2017Structurally, Blaster Master Zero is a significant step forward for the franchise, but provided you are actively avoiding getting hit, the game is just too easy. Mildly more interesting when driving around in a tank than gunning down mutants on foot, it’s probably a great entry point to the series for more inexperienced gamers. It’s just a shame that this reintroduction doesn’t provide much of a challenge.

Apr 2, 2017Keeping itself faithful to the spirit of the original rather than to its casing, Blaster Master Zero brings the original classic to today's world while keeping the main tenets of its identity intact. This is a nostalgic experience that is not afraid to use some contemporary clothing and which fully satisfies its purpose of recreating a successful 2D experience, even if its difficulty level might suggest otherwise.
