GamingTrendTaylor MenkeSep 201790/100Time Recoil isn't going to redefine the cyberpunk genre, win awards for its writing or make players philosophize on the ethics of time travel. It's a satisfying blitz that wants to chill you out and challenge you, and that's enough.

Hardcore GamerJeremy PeeplesOct 20174/5Time Recoil is an outstanding top-down strategy game that gives off the appearance of a top-down shooter.

Push SquareSimon FitzgeraldFeb 20188/10Time Recoil is a solid twin-stick shooter and is definitely the best of 10tons' previous titles in the genre. Its simplicity in both gameplay and controls mean it's easy to pick up and play at your own leisure, making it a perfect fit for the PS Vita. If you're a fan of Hotline Miami, Neon Chrome, Jydge, or any other twin-stick shooter for that matter, then Time Recoil is well worth your time.

GameGrinRéjean LagasséDec 20173.5/10If you want play the time trials and can stomach, or at least ignore, the half-hearted attempt at a story then you might derive some enjoyment from Time Recoil. Still, things like the randomized ammo drops, muddy visuals, and poorly designed puzzles are needlessly frustrating, and your time and money would be better spent elsewhere.

PC AficionadoTom OlsonOct 20173.8/10If you like the genre, sure, Time Recoil will quench that thirst for more fast paced top down shooting, but at it’s core, Time Recoil is an average game that could have been so much more.
