- Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet is good fun, with striking visuals and a great setting. A few issues keep it from being totally brilliant though. If you're a fan of "metriod-vania" or in the mood for a light puzzle game, Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet is worth picking up
Justin Clouse · Aug 11, 2011 Reviewed on X360Read full review - Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet draws you into its unfamiliar terrain with a great sense of atmosphere and fosters experimentation with varied tools and fascinating situations. It's a fairly brief excursion, but it's worth the journey
Game Trailers · Aug 03, 2011 Reviewed on X360 - Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet may not offer the depth or distraction of the standouts in this specific subgenre, but it still effectively scratches the same itch as those games, and it does it with style. While it's hard to resist wishing that there were more of this game to experience, it's just as easy to enthusiastically appreciate what's already here
Brad Shoemaker · Aug 03, 2011 Reviewed on X360Read full review - If there was just a bit more content in the game, and if the focus was more on solving puzzles, I have no doubt that this would be a huge hit. However, as it is, Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet is a great game, even if it is slightly flawed. And in a summer that has been sparse with games, this may very well make this title worth your time and money
Amanda L. Kondolojy · Aug 03, 2011 Reviewed on X360Read full review - For the most part, it’s a genre that certainly isn’t getting the attention it deserves, especially from those companies that established it in the first place (Konami and Nintendo). And if Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet proves anything, it’s that the genre still plays well today
Billy Shibley · Aug 01, 2011 Reviewed on X360 - Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet, from the look of it, might make you think it's trying to skate by on charm. Even if that were the case, its minimalist beauty that piles upon itself endlessly would allow it to skate pretty far. Yet the game is solid in its mechanics to the point where it would be worth playing even if it were butt-ugly
Matthew Keast · Aug 01, 2011 Reviewed on X360Read full review - But that's only a minor issue among Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet's otherwise glowing qualities. Having completed my little alien's adventure, I have tunneled through rock, encountered masses of strange and wonderful creatures, delved the deeps of an underground sea and literally turned the world upside down. Having done this, I want more.
Richard Mitchell · Aug 01, 2011 Reviewed on X360 - Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet is a brief but striking title, one that doesn't outstay its welcome, perfectly pitched at the digital market. This unique environment pulses and ripples and burrows in a cascade of thick lines and solid blocks of rich colour, and creeping through its isolated and hostile corridors makes for an unexpected summer delight
Martin Gaston · Aug 01, 2011 Reviewed on X360Read full review - In the absence of another great game in the vein of Super Metroid or Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, ITSP deftly scratches the itch that many gamers have for this breed of 2D exploration and combat. It’s worth playing for any fan of the genre, but it isn’t the brightest star in the sky
Joe Juba · Aug 01, 2011 Reviewed on X360 - Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet leaves you wanting more. With such a well-conceived and beautiful world to explore, it's a shame we can't spend more time in it. But a great short game is more welcome than a mediocre long one, and I do highly recommend you investigate Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet. Despite its brevity, it left a lasting impression on me
