Gradius Origins
Critic Reviews for Gradius Origins
The next collection of retro Konami games is here, and their names are Gradius and Salamander.
Konami keeps its promise to revive love for its most classic franchises with Gradius Origins. A love letter to the beginnings of the series, it takes the titles from the first 11 years and adds a kind of "what if" scenario that for many will be the biggest draw of the compilation. Six classic titles, all the arcade versions, and a juicy bonus, the previously unreleased Salamander III, are joined by a host of customization options and a perfect recreation. The result? A compilation that manages to hook us back into a saga that hasn't lost an ounce of its epicness.

When you add up all of the versions included in one single package, as well as quality of life enhancements, sound test mode, and a bunch of extras, there’s no other way to describe Gradius Origins other than a truly magnificent celebration of Konami’s flaship shooter franchise.
GRADIUS ORIGINS is an essential pack of the shoot'em up history with high quality games and rich quality of life tools. Despite a few issues that should have been avoided, it's the kind of collection that's essential to keep such a valuable videogame history legacy alive.
