Thumper Critic Reviews and Review Scores

Thumper’s brutal, breakneck speed and precision-based musical action kept me entranced for all nine of its bizarre, nightmarish stages, which contained enough nuanced high score-chasing tricks to demand several replays already. To really master Thumper’s many layers of rhythm-based mechanisms would take much more time than the 10 or so hours it takes to complete the first time – and that’s a challenge that I eagerly accept.

A total assault on your ears, eyes and reflexes. Thumper will beat you up, but you’ll enjoy it.

Great art and a distinct approach to rhythm action makes this a brilliantly horrible twitch experience.
