Critic Reviews
Penarium Review
A fiendishly difficult 2d arcade-style platformer that will have you simultaneously shouting at the telly with rage and delight.
80%Penarium Review
Penarium is one of the best arcade-style games we've played this console generation. The campaign doesn't last all that long, and more multiplayer options would've been appreciated, but all in all, there's a healthy amount of content for the price. If fast-paced gameplay and high-score chasing are your thing, we suggest planning a trip to this sadistic carnival. Just don't be surprised if you end up imprisoned, losing hours upon hours of your life to the addictive chaos.
