    Vasara Collection is a great bundle and very easy to recommend for fans of ship games. Each of the classics has its own characters and settings, making either of the two installments highly replayable. The graphics are excellent and the music accompanies the whole.

    The screen fills up very easily with gunshots and it's a lot of fun to dodge and counter-attack enemies.

    The screen fills up very easily with gunshots and it's a lot of fun to dodge and counter-attack enemies. Unfortunately the control scheme is very demanding in an already difficult game to start with.

    The Timeless mode seems like a separate game, inspired by the original games and completely focused on multiplayer, as it requires several players to control the entire screen and the challenge comes from achieving better scores to put them on the online board. For those who aren't fans of the genre, this might not be the ultimate game, but it's worth a try at a low price.    … Expand

    VASARA Collection is an amazing SHMUP and it went far beyond my expectations. I already consider it an essential game on Switch for those who like the genre, those who like games-to-pass-the-time and for those who want something to play on the go. A game previously unknown to me, but found a place in my heart thanks to the great work of QUByte.

    Baffling leaderboard support, lack of remapping, and wonky "Timeless" mode aside, the Vasara Collection is sure to find a home with any fan of arcade classics. The Vasara series, though short-lived, offers a unique blend of STG action and close-quarters mayhem. They certainly aren't a walk in the park. It'll take weeks of constant practice to clear them without continuing. The scoring systems are compelling, and there's a plenty of enjoyment in slashing everything in sight. Give this collection a shot sometime.

    All things considered, there is nothing that really negativity impacts these three games to a great degree. They have hours of solid gameplay, challenge, and fun made even better by VASARA 3’s four-player co-op. Having one great shooter is cool, having three in one bundle is epic. I tip my hat to the developers and publishers for some great arcade ports For genre fans, these make very good additions to the Switch’s library.
