WTMG's Leo Faria: "In short, some of the games included in here might suffer from some graphical and gameplay issues brought over from the 90’s, but this collection really impressed me nonetheless. Turrican Flashback is one of the more robust retro collections released in recent memory, as not only did the games manage to (mostly) stand the test of time, but the developers also made sure to add quality of life and side features to improve each title’s replayability. You don’t even need to know what the hell Turrican is in order to enjoy this collection. Are you a fan of pew pew and platforming? Go for it."
ININ Games and Factor 5 bundle together four classic run 'n gun shooters. But does Turrican Flashback offer enough flashbang for your flashbuck?
It's absolutely a major improvement over the original, that's for sure! Mega Turrican will always be my favorite though.
COG writes: It's been 30 years since the Turrican series was released and now Turrican Flashback, a collection of four games, brings that sense of nostalgia to the forefront. If you were wondering how the game would feel in a modern world, there's certainly been some welcomed improvements. Is it still tough? Definitely.
VGChartz's Evan Norris: "If you're a fan of Turrican looking to relive your glory days, or a retro gamer looking for something to scratch that action-explorer-platformer itch, Turrican Flashback has you covered. It's not a complete collection — it's missing bonus features and a mainline installment in Super Turrican 2 — but it's a solid investment nonetheless, due to the inclusion of four classic games, several modern quality-of-life features, and some fun display options."
