Jun 10, 2014Without 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.
-
May 27, 2014Lemmings Touch stays true to its roots and is a great fit for the PlayStation Vita, lending it enough charm and appeal to strike a chord with long-time fans and newcomers alike.
-
May 30, 2014A 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.
-
Jun 3, 2014It sticks to the original concept of the series, and offers an addictive experience. If you haven't played Lemmings recently and you enjoyed it once, it won't disappoint.
-
Jul 31, 2014Even 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.
-
Jul 8, 2014Highly recommended for anyone who’s into puzzlers and has never played Lemmings, or is feeling nostalgic. If you’re a Lemmings veteran, though, it might feel too much like the same old, same old.
-
Jun 28, 2014The classic gameplay fits perfectly in tactile commands but it doesn’t feel like there’s any innovation. Besides, it's perfectly possible to play with the traditional buttons.
-
Jun 3, 2014A refreshing and modern take on a classic franchise, Lemmings Touch stands as a decent puzzler in its own right. Sometimes frustrating controls however, threaten to spoil what is otherwise an easy recommendation to Lemmings stalwarts and newbies alike.
-
May 27, 2014Adding touch controls is a great way to reintroduce one of gaming’s forgotten classics to a new generation, and the added portability is a real bonus. But for fans, the familiarity may be a stumbling block, and it would have been nice to see some new abilities to play with, if only to make this more than just a re-tread.
-
Jun 3, 2014Yes, the touch controls aren’t a superior substitute for a mouse and can occasionally find themselves frustrating, and the menu being overlaid as a thought bubble causes way more problems than a simple toolbar, but I promise, you can work your way through it.

Playstation Official Magazine AustraliaJul 16, 2014Offers a great visual upgrade, but the UI and various other tappy mechanics break down in later difficulties. [August 2014, p78]
-
Jun 27, 2014There's still fun to be had with the good and ole Lemmings, but the control system could really do with an upgrade.
-
Jun 12, 2014The levels are hard and they offer a good challenge for those who are willing to stick it out through the long loading times.
-
Jun 8, 2014Lemmings Touch feels like a throwback to a bygone era which the industry forgot. The core mechanics still feel fun enough, but the game is so bare bones and plain that it feels like a missed opportunity.
-
May 27, 2014Lemmings 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.
-
May 27, 2014This latest edition’s clumsy controls will obstruct your enjoyment at times, and while the top-notch puzzles and vibrant visuals will certainly tunnel through some of these issues, the input problems will still chip away at your patience like a pickaxe as you progress.
-
Jul 22, 2014With a lackluster touch control scheme and a poor implementation of the rating and objective systems, Lemmings Touch feels like a missed opportunity on the developers side considering the emblematic nature of the franchise.
-
XGNJul 6, 2014Lemmings Touch brings that good old formula to the PlayStation Vita, but does not do that exactly right. The touch controls don't go hand in hand with the gameplay, and the graphics look really outdated. Unless you are a big fan of the series, you can better let this game slip through your fingers.
-
Jul 3, 2014The gameplay is recognizable and therefore still enjoyable, though the touch features leave a lot to be desired. And was it really necessary to make the tutorial so damn hard?
-
Aug 20, 2014Lemmings 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.
