- When I completed a gruelling section I didn’t feel overjoyed, but relieved that I’d never have to do it again. For a game so excruciatingly difficult at times, incentive to win isn’t enough: I want to enjoy my time in the gameworld. It needs to fascinate. Color Guardians fails on both these counts.
Shaun Prescott · Jun 01, 2015 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Whilst very simple in its nature, the game offers a great deal of fun, and thanks to its pleasant and colourful visual design, it’s appealing to all ages (although younger children might struggle with the difficulty). If you’re looking for a charming little game with a surprising amount of challenge, you can’t go far wrong with Colour Guardians.
Kim · May 21, 2015 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - All too often, though, the stages are designed in such a way that you're tricked into failing, and any technical issues stand out more than they might elsewhere because precise timing and concentration are so vital to success. You can always rebound after failure, but sometimes it's difficult to muster the energy to do so when part of you knows there's bound to be another trick of some sort waiting just a few screens away. It's all very pretty, sure. It's just not worth it.
Jason Venter · May 13, 2015 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - Color Guardians blends a variety of fast-paced genres together nicely. It controls perfectly and every set of stages changes things up enough to use the core runner/platformer/rhythm game template and keep it interesting. Boss battles add some fun wrinkles as well. The game looks nice, but doesn’t push the PS4 to its limits. Color Guardians makes use of the DualShock 4’s speaker, although neither the sound effects or soundtrack are all that memorable.
Jeremy Peeples · May 12, 2015 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - Building up to that is a fairly dull experience, not without challenge but certainly without excitement. If it had ended just before the final boss, it would be a forgettable runner that underdelivers on a good idea. After that terrible fight, I actively disliked it. Play this if you like a challenge and have patience to get to the good stuff, but don't even bother finishing it.
Darren Nakamura · May 12, 2015 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - Color Guardians introduces an interesting color-changing feature to the side-scrolling runner genre, but keeps it so basic that the potential is wasted. It's an interesting game that only manages to hold my attention for short game sessions.
Jeb Haught · May 12, 2015 Reviewed on PCRead full review - I don’t often play a game and immediately go through it again after finishing it, but I did that with Color Guardians. Thanks to its fun and bright graphics, truly difficult levels, and different scoring systems, I found myself playing each level again and again in an effort to get all three stars or get a high score for the leaderboards.
Mark Labbe · May 12, 2015 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - It almost feels like it was secretly released already. It took notes, amped up what the test group really liked, and then degraded the things they didn't. While the soundtrack is great, it's also very much what would be expected. Twitchy and very demanding (in some very unfair ways, more often than not), and dull and repetitive graphics remove any good work the soundtrack does. This leaves behind a game that, for all intents and purposes, falls short of all of its goals.
Thom Compton · Jun 27, 2015 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Ultimately Color Guardians is a bright, cutesy, challenging runner with some good ideas that falls through when it comes to keeping it interesting. Restarting from checkpoints over and over only getting a little bit closer to the end each time quickly grows repetitive, draining any drive there might have been to continue playing.
Gareth Chadwick · May 20, 2015 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - It's a well made title with lots to discover, then – but the only real downer is that the difficulty can be inconsistent; one wrong button in places will send you right back to the start. ...Color Guardians is a charming little title that will be appreciated by endless runner fans. The inconsistent difficulty is a problem, and its lack of variety means that it's best played in short bursts – but if you want something simple to brighten up your day, then this will do the job adequately.
