What players say

Players are split on Cosmic Tempest. Many say it is a fun, nostalgic 2D platformer that channels Contra and old arcade shooters, with bright visuals and tight controls. But several reviewers warn it is very short, around 30 minutes, and call the $40 price a scam, arguing it is worth no more than a few dollars.
