Worth Playing
By Cody MedellinThere's potential in Clid the Snail. The postapocalyptic setting feels fresher thanks to the new perspective, and the characters are charming, even if they fit expected tropes from stories about a ragtag bunch being forced to come together. A fascinating setting cannot overcome gameplay that feels repetitive due to unexciting shooting mechanics and enemies that fail to become intelligent until you reach a boss fight. It can be fun if you temper your expectations significantly, but for most people, Clid the Snail won't do it for them.

ByA reasonable top down shooter from Weird Beluga. While the complete package doesn't seem to mesh together right, it still has enough substance to tickle some pleasure senses.

By Linden GarciaClid the Snail’s six-hour romp through the miniaturized wasteland ultimately feels like an endeavor lost in translation. A painful irony for a snail, assuredly.
PlayStation Galaxy
By Dennis FuertesOverall, the game feels like a bore that you would be wishing the game would come to an end already.
ZTGD
By Terrence JohnsonEven the story in Clid the Snail hit all the notes of comedy, tragedy and action on queue. But that combat… they absolutely NAILED the challenging part. It’s just a shame that it isn’t much fun and instead just feels like an exercise in futility at parts.
