I want start by talking about a couple things I did not like about this game. My biggest issue is that you can't play two player mode until you unlock it by beating story mode solo. Now, imagine buying this game because it's two players, having a buddy come over, getting all excited to play together, and then finding out you can't. Also, easy mode is unlocked by collecting 3000 coins. I beat the game on normal and collected nowhere near that amount of coins. These are some very confusing design choices. I kinda want to give the game a bad rating because of it, but I played it all the way through, and by the end I just liked the game so much that I can forgive these big flaws.Okay, so I really enjoyed the challenge of this game. It is very tough. At first I thought it was too much. My initial impressions of the game were not great. I was overwhelmed by the difficulty, the controls felt tedious. I nearly shut it off, but instead I kept going. I realized there is a lot of strategic depth going on here in this game. The game gives you the tools, you have to use them wisely. Once I got it, the game became so much fun.The pixel art is absolutely incredible when you have a brief moment to stop and look at it. Very highly detailed and well animated. I even noticed some leaves that reacted my movement. Some really nice detail and polish went into the graphics.This is a short game. My first time playing, I beat it in under three hours. I'd imagine it would be less time on subsequent playthroughs. However, there is a bonus character to unlock, somehow I'm not sure. So there is reason to come back againjust great to see these kind of games , come back.. I love this Game.. A must have to you arcade and olds school players..Awesome game is challenging and fun great story and action pack keeps u on your toesReally fun game. It's difficult, but there are generous check points that you can continue from making the game manageable for us less skilled (and time restrained) players. 2 player should have been available from the start, but I don't have any friends so I didn't really miss that feature.+ Love the sprites, the animations, the vibrant colors and graphics. Everything is spot on and so much better than the original.+ Gameplay is what I expected for a 2D like this, no real complaints.+ Music and sound-effects are crisp, clear, and add to the fun-factor of gameplay.+/- Censorship seems to be a sore for many, but I personally don't care, I didn't buy the game to be able to see cleavage, but I get it, why censor it? I guess it's not a big deal when it comes to Rocky and Pocky.Excelente retro y coperativo localYeah, you don't get coop right out of the box. Something I bought the game for only to be hit in the face with this stark reality. I don't know why Natsume thought this was a good idea.Some petulantly believe the artistic altering of one or two instances of partial nudity in a children's game warrants a one-star rating, the absolute lowest rating possible. First and foremost, this is a fun, cartoony game with googly eyes and talking animals. Some aggrieved individuals are tormented by the exclusion of partial nudity in a game with a young little girl, an orange tanuki, and cutesy goblins. A collector's release of this game included a doll, for goodness sake. Additionally, Pocky & Rocky Reshrined is rated Everyone 10+. This is meant to be an accessible title for young kids, yet for some reason upper chest exposure is tantamount to gameplay and its diminishment ruins the entire game for a handful of grown men. Lastly, there is no censor in this release. A censor is a discrete quadrangle or dilute obscuration. Instead, the content in question, a garment, is stylistically altered. You wouldn't know it unless you compared two images laterally. Its appearance is limited to only a few instances. To claim that this is heavy censorship is absolutely ludicrous and total hyperbole. It would have been a weird decision if the publisher had included the content, which indubitably would have resulted in a different rating. Why the theatrical outcry for aggrandised nudity in a game for little kids is particularly disconcerting.Arrived on time and was in perfect condition.
