Critic Reviews
Duuro Magazine
By Krist DuroFans of '80s arcade brawlers will find enjoyment in its nostalgic charms between frustrating encounters
NintendoWorldReport
By Zachary MillerPrison City is a fun game that nails the look and feel of 80's action platformers. For fans of that era, this is a no-brainer. Now, for the sequel, I'm hoping for an Echo the Dolphin parody featuring that cybernetic cetacean.
GameBlast
By Alecsander OliveiraPrison City fulfills its premise competently, featuring stunning visuals and a unique weapon as its main feature. The less linear structure of the levels, the references to pop culture and the engaging boss battles provide fun moments, despite their resistance; however, compared to several other productions that are inspired by retro works, the game lacks its own identity that sets it apart.
Niche Gamer
By Fingal BelmontPrison City is a very solid retro throwback action platformer. It lacks originality and the main character is boring because he barely says anything more complex than one-word sentences. The challenge is hearty and gamers will find the references endearing… if they can survive long enough to see them.

By A.J. MaciejewskiIf Prison City released for NES, I imagine that it would be on many gamers' top 10 lists for the console's library; it's retro done right.
