    Without hotkeys and precision clicks the formula isn't perfect, but Lemmings Touch is about as good as a handheld entry of the series could ever be.

    A decent reproposition of what still is a milestone in its genre. It's got a couple of new ideas that will not blow your mind but do make it fresher. The touch interface is well implemented but not perfect.

    Even with some small problems, Lemmings Touch is another fun and addictive chapter of the series, with some interesting functions for Vita’s touch screen. If you’re a Lemmings fan, don’t miss it.

    Lemmings get a nice touch of modernity, but these tactile evolutions don't necessarily improve the experience, since some controls inaccuracies interfere both with the proven and the new gameplay mechanics.

    Offers a great visual upgrade, but the UI and various other tappy mechanics break down in later difficulties. [August 2014, p78]

    The levels are hard and they offer a good challenge for those who are willing to stick it out through the long loading times.

    Lemmings Touch simply is one big mistake. Managing dozens of Lemmings simultaneously requires extremely precise controls, but the touch sensitive controls of Lemmings Touch don’t come even near to what could be regarded decent. These poor controls are so crucial for the gamer’s experience… the rest of the pros and cons don’t even matter anymore.

    It's wonderful that the lemmings are back! Now with a great twist of mischievous lemmings and cannons and trampolines. Really great attempt toIt's wonderful that the lemmings are back! Now with a great twist of mischievous lemmings and cannons and trampolines. Really great attempt to refresh the series and the graphics are pretty good, a far cry from the original indeed! There's a new option to change your lemmings' wardrobe too!
    All of these would be great and wonderful if this game did not have touch controls.
    You forget all the good the developers have done the first time you miss tap and have to restart the level which you almost perfected. You can move the item bubble around! While this sounds like a good idea it leads to far more missed taps than anything. Precise control is a necessity in lemmings and touch controls ruin it.
    All this could be easily avoided by allowing you to pause at the correct time and enable an item on a particular lemming. I tried to do this to no avail.
    If someone out there is reading this, please get the word to the developers of this niche game on this niche console to fix this sacrilege of a control system.    … Expand
