Kim at GameSpew writes "I remember playing The Great Giana Sisters on the Amiga as a wee nipper. It may have been a blatant rip off of Super Mario, but frankly, it was awesome: typical side-scrolling platform action, excellent graphics (for the early 1990’s, at least) and kick-ass girl heroes. I couldn’t have asked for more, really.
When Black Forest Games decided to revive the now elderly Giana Sisters in 2013 with Twisted Dreams, I was excited. Whilst it was a long cry from the retro classic, it wasn’t a bad little platformer. It had a nice art style and was fairly fun to play for an hour or two. Giana Sisters: Dream Runners however, is a whole different story."
The premise behind Giana Sisters: Dream Runners is simple; get far enough head of your opponents to push them off the screen. With up to four players (or AI opponents), you will run, dash, jump, collect power ups, and smash your way across nine levels of pure multi-player mayhem.
Does Giana Sisters: Dream Runners offer the same challenging and fast-paced action that made Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams so fun?
Giana Sisters: Dream Runners is a fast-paced, head-to-head platformer for up to four players developed by Black Forest Games. The game pits up to four players (or AI opponents) against each other in a looping stage, in local and online competition, speed-running for the finish in an effort to push each other off the screen with the help of boosters and power-ups.
