Game Ratings for Fighting Force Video Game.
WayTooManyGames: 5.5 / 10 by Leonardo Faria
The only people who will have some kind of enjoyment with Fighting Force Collection are those who grew up with those games and have a borderline die-hard nostalgic attachment towards them. I can’t criticise the folks at Implicit Conversions for their porting skills, as there’s nothing wrong with their remastering efforts. The problem lies at the fact these games have simply aged poorly. In fact, I don’t think they have ever been that good, even for their time.
ComingSoon.net: 7.5 / 10 by Tyler Treese
While neither game is necessarily a classic of the beat ’em up genre, there’s plenty of nostalgia and charm to be had revisiting them in the Fighting Force Collection.
Use a Potion: 7 / 10
Fighting Force Collection is a love letter to a specific slice of gaming history, and while the gameplay is undeniably dated and might struggle to win over a modern audience without those rose-tinted glasses, the nostalgia factor here is certainly strong. If you grew up smashing up these blocky environments, this collection is definitely a fun trip down memory lane.
