March 2025
Retro to a fault at times, and doesn't really shake up the genre. Thankfully, it's streamlined enough to the point where the normal mode is not as hard or as punishing as some of the negative reviews make it seem. Thoughtful gameplay is definitely rewarded, and the weapon variety is nice. The hard mode is essentially the second half of the game, so the length is longer than it looks, too. But I didn't feel like spending much time with that one, especially after the difficulty spike near the end of the normal mode. (Don't worry; it wasn't anywhere near as crazy as the perfect ending in Cave Story.) I think Kero Blaster is a worth a shot for fans of NES-style platformers and run-n-gunners. In that case, the worst thing that could happen is that you refund it after about half of the normal mode. If you unconditionally hate NES-era design, though, put the game out of your mind forever.

Very underrated, if you like Cave Story and or run 'n' gun video games this one is just for you! The difficulty is just right too!

didn't expect much, was a pleasant surprise. it's cute and fun with just the right amount of difficulty, couldn't be bothered to beat zangyou mode, but the game holds up very well regardless.

I adore this game. The story, the gameplay, the music, it's all quirky and brilliant. Exactly what I'd expect and look for in a Studio Pixel game. If you like Cave Story, buy this game. If you didn't like Cave Story, I'm not exactly sure how that's possible, and buy this game regardless.

Kero Blaster is the most charming retro shooter I've ever played. Extremely fun and challenging without being cruel. The frog is so cute <3
