Great game, tons of fun... if you can make it run on anything built after 2010! Hahahah

Jan. 2025

combat is fun, combos are cool, writing is good, jokes are funny

Dec. 2024

Solid metroidvania! The combat honestly felt really good. I think this game has less of an emphasis on exploration, and more on the gameplay, but the gameplay felt really good. And the exploration and world map serve their purpose really well. This probably doesn't hold a candle to some of the top metroidvanias, and I don't see it becoming anyone's favorite, but I think metroidvania fans should still give it a go.

Aug. 2024

Fun metroidvania that was a joy to 100% Some negative reviews seem unfair. Yeh Super Turbo Championship has more stuff but buying either one will give you a copy of the other.

May 2024

This game serves up colorful platforming fun with a Mexican flair. However, please note, Gold Edition's successor, Super Turbo Championship Edition, outshines it with more content and refined mechanics. You should get that game version, not this one. Anyways, if you already have this Gold Edition, then that's also okay - it still offers an enjoyable experience for fans of the genre. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3052658282 https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3056044227
