60 of 108 · most liked firstI've read all sort of bulls**t in the reviews about this game. This is NOT a PS1 port. It is the very same PC version of 1996, but with a 3DFX/Glide Wrapper to emulate the 3D cards of that time. I have the original version of this game in CD, and if you don't use a glide wrapper, you have to run in software mode, where you can't change the resolution, neither use filters like anti-aliasing. People with a little bit of effort, can find the game folder and change the graphics configs using the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I meant to share this earlier, but yeah, what they did to Nikki between Pandemonium 1 and 2 in retooling her character was something that even at the time (this is from EGM's 1998 Buyers Guide) got called out as gross. It's why I still play and share bits from the first Pandemonium game a lot more

One of the more interesting bits of game localization that resulted in what is almost a palette swap of one of my favourite PS1 games and 2.5 platformers. 1/2

unlabelledView post →A classic platformer from the PS1. My only main gripe about this game is that there are some serious leaps of faith that annoy me greatly. Other than that, the level design and the music is very lovable, or maybe it's just my nostalgia talking.

unlabelledView post →I see a lot of reviews are stating incorrect information. Contrary to what some people indicate, the game does run perfectly fun on Windows 11. I tried it on both a desktop and a laptop. Both worked fine. Contrary to what some people indicate, this is not a port or an emulation of the PS1 version: this is instead the native PC version, that uses a Glide wrapper so that we can use the 3DFX version. Contrary to what some people indicate, you can choose your resolution (I am playing at 2560x1440)…

Since I played it when I were a little kid it was very nostalgic for me though I never finished it because it was to hard. It was still hard, unforgiving, but still somehow fair and a very fun, i cant believe it was made so long ago. For those of you who are expecting a graphical bump or something extra, no. Btw for those who finish the game, wasn't the credits the most awesome credits there is? I had some problems when I tried to…

unlabelledView post →I like to bring up random games from the past. Todays focus is Pandemonium 2 on Playstation which released in 1997! What a game. First one was a fun side scrolling, 3d platformer, and this second one increased the crazy and edginess.
unlabelledView post →Yes, this was an awesome game back in the day, but this release is a joke. - Only 640x480 resolution. Not even bad upscaling - nothing. - Frequent issues with the game's speed and unrecognized button pushes. - No button remapping whatsoever. - No options or pause menu. ESC only switches to some kind of GUI in your native resolution. And I only played for around two minutes. Maybe there's more to get annoyed by.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Nostalgia, sometimes you should just keep this stuff as a nice memory. This was a great game on the PS1 that I loved. It was one of three games I got with the PS1, and one of my favourites, blowing my mind away with it's 3d goodness (coming from a Sega Megadrive). This game, by modern standards, is just plain frustrating. The first couple of levels are fun, but later levels (lv 14 expecially) are so fricken hard with only 2/3 hearts per level and very long checkpoints. Also the game speed…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm looking everywhere and the only real connection I can find between this game and unholy war is this game used assets from Unholy War and Pandemonium because Toys for Bob was running out of time to make it because Bandai kept sending them new design sheets everyday that needed translating.

unlabelledView post →i'm legitimately disappointed in the steam release of Pandemonium. A quick test run with a PS1 emulator from back in the day has shown that the emulator has better quality than the steam port. In every respect. While I don't endorse piracy, having purchased the game only to find a running the PlayStation disc version through a PS1 emulator is of a better quality is quite honestly shocking and disappointing. Would I recommend the game? Yes Would I recommend this product? Hell no.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i used to love this game back in my youth... but the thing/truth is this is just an emulated (and poorly) psx iso... not worth your money even for nostalgia's sake . better play is on an actual emulator or better yet on the original machine... totally not worth as a buy...

The game itself is obviously awesome as a nostalgia trip, if you're thinking of buying it you probably know all about it having played it when you were younger! I sort of wish this review could be about the game itself, but instead I've got to urge people to STAY AWAY from this one purely because the port is so bad. I ignored the warnings in everyone else's reviews and I shouldn't have. This is a lazy port to steam of what was already a lazy port in…

In short, the game will cause your PC to crash if you press the ESC key. Oh, but it gets worse! You need to press the ESC key to access the game's settings if you want to, oh, I don't know, adjust the volume so the music isn't blaring over the rest of the game. Or if you want to remap the controls. But, wait, there's more! If you…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is a true nostalgia trip for those that played it in the 90s. Yes it is a port but this is the original port found in the 90s that has an emulator capable of running it on modern machines. As for the 'trouble' with key bindings, it's simply a change in the options menu. I'm no computer geek but if my idiocy can figure it out I'm sure other people can to and rebind their keys accordingly as SURPRISE! you can do that. The issues I had with sound were due to my actual sound being too…

unlabelledView post →Loved the PS1 version, and played the PC version as well back in the good old days. Goofy and interesting story and level design and great colorful artwork and music. Unfortunately, it is a straight port from good times past, and adds nothing new to the game - i.e. better graphics or improved UI and save capabilities, which include choice of keybindings that are not the best and cannot be reconfigured, and no way to change resolution natively, and passwords in lieu of stage progression.…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It...doesn't really work properly. Okay it does "technically" work but there are far too many caveats for me to recommend buying it, which include: 1. Launching it through Steam seems to break most controller functionality. The only way I've been able to make a controller work properly is by launching "Pand3.exe" through the game folder directly (hence the low playtime). When it's launched normally through Steam the overlay bugs out and the loading screens sort of break along with the…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Don't buy it. As others have pointed out it's a good game but crashes your pc. I tried to end the game and somehow it literally would not let me out of a black screen. I couldn't even use my task manager on it. Anyway either stick to the old console versions or emulate it. Otherwise not worth buying on here i am afraid.

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Do not get me wrong; Pandemonium is a classic from the days of yore. However, this port is NOT the version you should play. It is a poor man's attempt at emulating the original, and is glitchy to the point of stages second-half music tracks not playing.
