Switch - Review: Ultracore (PS4 PSN) Waterm33

Developed by DICE, published by ININ, and public relations by PR Hound, Ultracore is a resurrected SEGA Genesis / SEGA Megadrive run and gun MetroidVania that has finally been released over 20 years after its cancellation. Does it live up to other gems of the genre from the 90's? We think so, but you'll have to continue reading our review to find out why!

Switch - Review: Ultracore (PS4 PSN) Waterm34

If you're interested in a run and gun platformer with exploration elements you need look no further than Ultracore a cancelled SEGA Genesis title under the original name Hardcore that was previewed in certain gaming magazines before being cancelled. The gameplay is reminiscent of Contra and features similar hardcore platforming with endless waves of enemies who try to utterly destroy you while you traverse the game's many challenging stages.

There is exploration and hidden goodies as well, but good luck finding everything since you are given a timer to beat each stage and if it runs out BOOM! The game is roughly 2-3 hours in length, but has a good amount of replayability which is always a good thing. The difficulty is stiff, but fair so no Contra (NES) hair-ripping difficulty with this title! As for the controls, they are quite straightforward and easy to learn while complex enough to give you alot of freedom of movement and shooting!

Switch - Review: Ultracore (PS4 PSN) Waterm35

The audio-visual presentation in the game is an absolute blast from the past with true Genesis/Megadrive graphics that look actually quite nice considering that the game is limited by the hardware it was originally meant to release on. The soundtrack is top-notch and is easily one of the best aspects of the game as it sounds on-par with some of the greats of the Genesis era!

Switch - Review: Ultracore (PS4 PSN) Waterm36

Bottom-Line: With superb gameplay, excellent controls, and a nearly flawless audio-visual presentation, Ultracore for the PS4 is a great game that's a blast to play and we highly recommend it to all fans of MetroidVania's and the Contra series. We give Ultracore a great level of recommendation!

Massive SEGA fanboy @BurstDashV8 is "pumped" for this release, and not just because arcade style "run 'n gun" games are amongst his favourites. As for me, I dislike guns, and personal history indicates (no, blatantly declares) that I am not a runner by almost any definition. I DO enjoy SEGA games, however... Wink

Your review, @Towafan7? Molto bene! Switch - Review: Ultracore (PS4 PSN) 631737971

@Kain Uh... are you asking us if you're the equivalent of the Big Bad in The Subspace Emissary? Because that... um... extracosmic entity(?) was kind of a [REDACTED].

You? You're on-par with Dragoon Highwind, and are thus amazing. Tabuu ain't got nothin' on you. Switch - Review: Ultracore (PS4 PSN) 631737971

@Kain It was just a quirky, long-winded (Or should that be high-winded?) way of saying, "Taboo or not, you do you. You're amazing. Switch - Review: Ultracore (PS4 PSN) 631737971"

I've been trying to master the art of the pep talk. I guess I still have a ways to go before even gaining my metaphorical blue belt, heheh... Who knows?
