Okay, here goes — let’s dive into this quirky little game, Toree Saturn. So, Diplodocus Games and Siactro are at it again with another speed-drenched 3D platformer. Toree Saturn, huh? Sounds like a celestial rollercoaster of fun… or chaos. Maybe both. Anyway — wait, what was I saying? Oh, right, the review!
So, Toree, this bird character dude — or maybe dudette, does it matter? — is back jumping around, and honestly, I wasn’t even surprised. After checking out Toree 3D, Toree 2, and Toree’s Panic Pack, I mean, of course, I’d see what’s cooking in this new release. Toree squares off against this enemy, Hawkee, with a killer soundtrack that screams late 90s and Y2K. Lyrics and all! No idea why, but the tunes seriously smack you with nostalgia.
Alright, imagine this: you’re zipping from point A to B, dashing, double-jumping, collecting stars — kinda feels like you’re making a salad, picking the best bits. Or maybe I just got distracted. Who knows. You’re steering Toree with the left stick, jumping with A and B — and holy smokes, the way you hit those big stars for a boost? It’s like jumping on clouds, if clouds were actually springboards. Maybe that’s just me, though.
Anyway, there’s a ground smash move too — press ZR, and bam! You drop like a rock — kinda thrilling, in a ‘why am I enjoying this so much?’ sort of way. Speed boost, speed boost, all about that speed.
Some bits of Toree Saturn really give a nod to that old SEGA Saturn vibe — I swear, you can almost hear the clunky controllers. And yeah, Toree Saturn is ready for the Switch, retailing at a nice $4.99. Cheaper than a fancy coffee, but more energizing? Hmm, debatable.
Anyway, where was I? The soundtrack, the gameplay, the whole retro vibe — it’s all there. The game has these quirky fun bits, and it just feels like you’re part of this wacky, speed-run world.
So, that’s Toree Saturn for you! It’s like a fun ride down memory lane but with more feathers and speeds. I had a blast checking it out. Oh, and I should totally mention: this review? Based on a Nintendo Switch copy from Diplodocus Games. Cheers to them!
Yup, that’s all I’ve got. Go check it out or don’t — do you!
