What players say
This game has a really interesting style i don't really see in modern games. The Trippy 2 1/2 D Graphics are really good. This Game is Hard But that's good it makes you get better and better if you just keep playing it. really satisfying when you get to a new level and the game just goes on and on and on. Has a liminal feel
1 more review, not recommended
Let me preface this by saying Pandemonium is a childhood game that I love to this day. The negative review is for this abysmal port that honestly shouldn't even be marketable in its current state. Pandemonium is a fantastic game, especially for those coming back to it, but certainly not the Steam version.
Steam reviews, mixed to its ratio and rotated daily. Opinions are theirs.
