    Pastagames has made a great job rejuvenating an old classic game. Pang Adventures looks good, plays well and will definitely appeal to arcade lovers, especially with its coop mode.

    In keeping with the spirit of the nearly three decade old original, Pang Adventures entertains with its easy to grasp, difficult to master shooter sensibilities. While the broad repetition of mechanics and lack of online play and truly new content will surely grate, Pang Adventure remains decent fodder for a quick session whenever you have the odd few minutes to spare for its classic arcade beats.

    If you enjoy a challenge and some classic old-school arcade action, you can’t go wrong with Pang Adventures. Just watch out for the bouts of imminent Rage Quit.

    It's certainly worth a look if you have an old-school itch that needs scratching, and fans of the original game will be pleased with just how faithful Pastagames has been to that decades-old formula.

    Not only does Pang Adventures refresh the decades-old formula. It also incorporates a huge array of new items and ball types, attracting veterans and newcomers alike. The level design enhances the new gameplay ideas, but the graphics and sound leave much to be desired, in a world with visually impressive 2D games.

    Pang Adventures feels good at the beginning, but once the nostalgia is gone, the game falls short on content.

    Similar to the classic arcade, but worse due the changes and modifications included, that doesn't hit the balloon correctly.

    Pang Adventures is an expensive title on PS4. It's preferable to buy it on mobile devices. The classic gameplay returns. You will miss more content. The final bosses or the new weapons can be good ideas, but the overall result is poor. You can see that it's not too budgeted.

    This game is fun, yes, for a while in single mode. It can be enjoyed for longer in co-op, but I still would not say it would have your attention for a long time. I feel like after maybe 10 times playing it with someone, it becomes forgettable and you would delete it to make space in your library. For a retro gamer, it is nice to put this game on and think back to playing it at the arcade, but otherwise, this game is essentially here for a good time, not a long time.

    When played with a friend, some of its issues become easier to overlook, but the fact still remains that those hoping for a triumphant return will be left disappointed by this rather one-dimensional arcade rehash.

    I have bought this game because I am a retro-gaming enthusiast but to be honest I was a bit skeptical about it.
    Pang was a good game in arcade, but it had a lot of limitations, so I was afraid to just find the same old game only with new graphics.
    But in the end it is a brand new game in the series and it brings much needed game elements to the series! I won't make the list here of all the new features (bosses, flame thrower, ninja stars...) check on the internet guys. What I can say it is that the graphics are great , the music reminds me of Hotline Miami, and the challenge is real.

    I thought I would play this game for just 2 or 3 hours, but in the end I play with my girlfriend and my friends because it is immediately understandable and fun!

    Finally there is a global leader-board and I now I will spend a lot of time trying to put my name among the highscores.

    A nice surprise this game    … Full Review »

    Revival piuttosto anonimo e inutile.
    Ripropone meccaniche di gioco che 25 anni prima erano divertentissime, senza praticamente innovare.    Revival piuttosto anonimo e inutile.
