  6.0

  As the subtitle suggests, SturmFront is a farewell to the Vita and offers a nice throwback that emphasizes what made the console a success for its fans, being an enjoyable indie game that feels at home on the handheld. It’s a bit short, is stuttery at times, and lacks ambition, preferring instead to copy what's come before, but as retro-styled scrolling twin-stick shooters go there are far worse ones out there. It was fun to blast away a few hours playing this title.

  8.0

  It’s loud, gory, brash and unapologetically retro, with action that is nothing but non-stop. The bullet-cancelling properties of the flamethrower do help a lot, but the difficulty, especially on the higher levels, is stupidly intense, however this does mean that the challenge is real. It runs well, and apart from minor gripes with the visibility of certain enemies, SturmFront is a very good game. If you want a challenge, you’ve come to the right place.

  6.8

  Was bleibt, ist ein blutrünstiger, von treibenden Metalriffs untermalter Kurztrip in ein bizarres Pixel-Mannheim, das vor allem jenen Spielern gefallen dürfte, die schon in den 1980ern Spaß mit Telespielen hatten. Ein paar mechanische Kniffe (Waffenwechsel, Ausweichrolle, Granaten) oder wenigstens ein Zweispieler-Modus hätte diesem Indietitel aber gut getan.
