    This game gives me a cool story, adventure, and good gameplay.
    I mentioned the times when I was 10 years old and I played in Sega. Guys(developers) thanks for beautiful spending time with the game. I am waiting for new games from u!

    It's a blast from the past. This game rides the nostalgia wave and does so quite well. Full of fun references to 80ies pop culture and old-school gaming this is an interesting game.
    One thing it brings back to us: difficulty. The mini games are challenging and as they say on the internet: git gud. I've enjoyed my roughly five hours of game play so far but was infuriated and about to toss    It's a blast from the past. This game rides the nostalgia wave and does so quite well.

    I hope I will remember to update this review once I am done (or have given up - just like I used to) but thus far it was worth its reasonable low price.    … Expand

    Playing this game I felt like when I was 12, playing in my Megadrive, dying in bosses, learning mechanics, exploring every corner of the maps because I have to see all, to check all, to get all rewards. Awesome game, awesome history. You must play it entire, great ending too ;-)

    Nostalgia pura, jogo simplesmente incrível, o tratamento que deram para o jogo em uma grande historia, para o pessoal anos 80, sim o jogo e obrigatório, um final que nao tem como evitar as lagrimas com a grande trilha sonora de timecop1983.

    The 80s asthetic in combination with the pixel art visual style makes this games very pleasing on the eye. At times I found the platforming and boss fights challenging and a bit frustrating, but still doable. Overall the story evoked unexpected emotions with me as it drew to it's conclusion. I would recommend this game to anybody with a love of well-rounded indie titles that can be wrappedThe 80s asthetic in combination with the pixel art visual style makes this games very pleasing on the eye.

    For those of you with strong attachments to the 80s, Crossing Souls is a sure cure for your nostalgia; for those without, Crossing Souls simply feels like a game that's trying too hard.

    Crossing Souls is a fine game that successfully does what it needs to do, but it does only that. There is much potential in the gameplay that sadly doesn't reach its full potential. This makes Crossing Souls just an average game.

    The story, while wonderfully trope-y, takes time to fully lean into its own absurdity. [March 2018, p.93]
