Alright, here we go. Toree Saturn’s this game from Diplodocus Games and Siactro. It’s like they woke up one day and decided, “Hey, let’s make a 3D platformer where speed’s the name of the game.” And you know what? I’m totally here for it. After diving into Toree 3D, Toree 2, and whatever Toree’s Panic Pack threw at me, I was itching to see what Toree Saturn had cooked up.
The Story Mode? Ah, it’s a classic good guy vs. bad guy kinda deal. Toree faces off against Hawkee. There’s this late ’90s, early Y2K vibe going on, which, I swear, feels like a mixtape from way back. And the soundtrack? Chef’s kiss! Trust me, you’ll be humming those tunes without even realizing it. Wasn’t expecting to get so nostalgic—seriously, every track felt like a journey back to that era.
Visually, Toree Saturn throws it back hardcore with SEGA Saturn vibes… maybe they were aiming for a retro feel or just got lost in nostalgia. Either way, the homage is strong. Jump into it, and it’s all about reaching the end asap. Or, if you’re like me, you’re probably getting sidetracked by shiny stars and collectibles. Oh, the sweet joy of completionism. Toree, your little bird-like hero, is all you need, moving around with the left stick, jumping, double-jumping with A and B. Oh, and the homing dash thing is like your secret weapon, so handy for grabbing those larger stars.
Ground smash? Yeah, there’s that too, courtesy of the ZR button. It’s kinda wild. You descend faster, while getting a speed boost. Like, who thought of that? Absolute genius! But hey, I was so absorbed that sometimes I’d plummet faster than anticipated. Oops.
Now, this one’s on Switch for just $4.99. Honestly, a steal for what you’re getting. If you dig speed-based platformers with a splash of retro charm, and let’s face it, who doesn’t? Toree Saturn is totally worth your time.
Oh, and a quick shoutout—this review was brought to you thanks to a Nintendo Switch copy from Diplodocus Games. Just throwing that in there. Alright, that’s my mind dump. Totally random at times, but hey, that’s me.
