Terminator 2D: No Fate Launches to Positive Early Reviews on PC, PlayStation, Xbox and Switch

Early reviews praise retro authenticity, raising concerns over short runtime, strict continues and repetition.

Overview

  • Bitmap Bureau’s 2D side‑scrolling tribute to Terminator 2 is out now on Steam, Epic Games Store, PlayStation, Xbox Series and Nintendo Switch.
  • Critics highlight faithful 16‑bit visuals, tight arcade gunplay and set pieces that closely mirror the film, supported by a soundtrack with recrafted Brad Fiedel motifs.
  • The first playthrough is described as brief, with some repetitive sections, though alternate routes and modes such as Arcade, Infinite, Boss Rush and Mother of the Future add replay value.
  • Difficulty follows an old‑school model in which only Easy offers unlimited continues, while Normal and above can force full restarts if continues are exhausted.
  • One review reports a $30 digital price, with a $60 physical edition that includes extras, and Xbox outlets note prior shipping delays before today’s platform launch.
