- All in all, the gameplay on offer is pretty good. I do have to say that you will suffer many unfair deaths, but then again, you did in the original. There is also very little variation in the standard gameplay, but what is there has been implemented very well – and most importantly it’s fun to play. At a price point of just £4.49 from the Nintendo eShop it offers good value for money and is certainly worth downloading, especially if you were a fan of the original game.
Kieren Hawken · Jul 15, 2015 Reviewed on 3DSRead full review - Thunder Blade is well done arcade port with lots of options that help to modernize the experience. Like most other old arcade games, personal interest is really what drives the game’s value. For players who either remember the arcade original or simply enjoy the style, it’s definitely worth checking out.
Dave Payerle · Jun 08, 2015 Reviewed on 3DSRead full review - If you’ve been ignoring Thunder Blade for the past quarter-century, it’s time to take notice. 3D Thunder Blade is not just a great arcade port- it’s one of the best pick-up-and-play action games on the 3DS.
Ryan Grove · Jun 02, 2015 Reviewed on 3DSRead full review - Those nostalgic for an old-school shmup with a few twists that have $5.99 just collecting dust could do worse than 3D Thunder Blade. It’s fun, it’s mindless, and if you really hate it, it’s over in about ten minutes. In fact, that’s the game’s biggest problem; there just isn’t a whole lot here. M2 has added in an extra mode, but that’s about it. Unless you’re a score-hunter, it could be difficult to get the most bang for your buck.
Bradly Storm · May 23, 2015 Reviewed on 3DSRead full review - Although slower-paced than the likes of After Burner, and less flashy at first glance, 3D Thunder Blade offers a more varied selection of environments and more visual details making the setting of the game more visually appealing, if not by the sensations it provides.
Rudy Lavaux · Jun 18, 2015 Reviewed on 3DSRead full review - Coming to a suitable conclusion on 3D Thunder Blade is a difficult proposition; on one hand it's clearly the best of the 3D Classics on a technical level, but on the other hand the source material wasn't a particularly top-notch game to begin with. Beautiful graphics can't elevate average gameplay and the overall replay value is limited. There will be fans of the arcade original who will really love this conversion and if that person is you, it's everything you could ever want from a handheld Thunder Blade.
Jonathan Town · May 18, 2015 Reviewed on 3DSRead full review - Ahora, si lo que queréis es un juego pensado para el jugador actual, con sus usos y costumbres, y que además aproveche la Nintendo 3DS como si hubiera sido pensado para ello desde el inicio de su creación, mejor que vayáis a otra cosa. Recomendadísimo, si sois el usuario objetivo de este juego.
Ramón Nafria · May 25, 2015 Reviewed on 3DSRead full review - Los Segueros tienen una nueva cita ineludible con la mejor conversión de esta recreativa de 1987. No alcanza el nivel de otras adaptaciones, como 3D Outrun, y resulta muy corto, pero si añoras el estilo de la Sega de los 80, lo gozarás.
