Ultratron is a perfectly fine twin stick shooter and it is certainly worth playing. Sadly, it is too flashy for its own good and this creates problems that are uniquely its own.
Those who want a top down bullet-hell shooter with some gorgeous retro graphics, perfect controls, lots of options and upgrades, fun tracks, and impressive difficulty will find that all here in spades.
It will put even shooter veterans to the test, and it has personality. It's a shame for the lack of alternative modes.
Minor issues aside, this is a great pick-up-and-play title for fans of shooters and even fast-paced action games in general.
Ultraton is a fun and addictive arcade-style shooter which in many ways follows an old-school pattern of gameplay. It could surely benefit from a more extended lifespan and more variety on the attack patterns of the bosses but it still stands as one of the most fun shooters available on the Wii U's digital market.
Although a lack of levels and some presentational hiccups prevent this from becoming an outright classic, Ultratron's positive points outweigh its negatives, and warrants a look from anyone looking for an arcade shooter that manages to merge the best of old and new.
Funny and immediately into the action, Ultratron is simple multidirectional shooter coming directly from the '80 arcade era. We just can't understand why forcing the player to always start again from the first level.
