Cotton Fantasy: Superlative Night Dreams is a super fun and adorable shoot ‘em up with tons of crazy action, a variety of unique characters and beautiful-looking 2D stages to challenge, and is sure to keep you busy attempting to get on the leaderboard!
Overall Cotton Fantasy may be a short game with average playthroughs lasting about 30-40 minutes. But with 7 characters to play as and added difficulty it definitely adds a lot of replayability and if this a taste of what the Cotton franchise will continue as then fans of this series have every right to be excited to see what comes next.

"Cotton Fantasy is a perfect celebration of the franchise. With a range of characters, unlockable stages, beautiful visuals, excellent music, and an addictive gameplay loop, this is a must buy for Cotton fans. It’s a shame that the high price point will put off anyone else, but I’d urge any fans of the genre to grab it for a cute-em-up masterpiece."

Cotton Fantasy is a celebration of 30 years of the Cotton franchise that shows very well all the evolution and affection that the series has had over the years. Classic, challenging and affordable. Perfect for those who like to compete for high scores, challenge themselves or even just play casually.
As a follow-up to Cotton Reboot and the first entirely new entry in a long time, Cotton Fantasy does everything it needs to. Play as Cotton, and you’ll get a new game that builds off Reboot’s revamped systems without reinventing the wheel—which, honestly, would have been enough. But Success and Studio Saizansen weren’t content with “enough”, and with a roster of such wildly different characters and their unique mechanics, Fantasy pushes the Cotton foundation in all sorts of new directions.
Cotton Fantasy nicely follows up on the reboot while also sticking too close to the formula, feeling like an extension of what the reboot was visually and in terms of gameplay. It does feature more variety with behind-the-back action, but it feels like a waste to have that relegated to bonus areas instead of integrating it into at least one action stage given that the prior entry in the series was behind-the-back fully and this feels like a tease. Other than that shortcoming, Cotton Fantasy is a tremendous experience and a ton of fun for anyone who enjoyed the series before or just got introduced to it via the reboot. It’s an excellent side-scrolling shooter and one with a lot of visual and audio variety.
Cotton Fantasy: Superlative Night Dreams is a bit pricey for the time it takes to get to the end. However, it’s a shoot-em-up. It’s not about getting through a story, it’s about shooting baddies and getting a high score. Fans of shmups (and of the recently revitalized Cotton in particular) will have some fun with this one.
Cotton Fantasy has all the makings of a great title. However, the execution of its mechanics does little to set it apart from better games of its kind.
Great addition to the Cotton series. Plenty of levels and characters (each with their own mechanics), and a good story and music. The 3d models and graphics generally don't look amazing when you first see them, but they look better in motion. The backgrounds look great and there is a lot of movement. The game runs really well, with no lag issues, and fleshed out online leaderboards.

Cotton Fantasy is certainly fun to play, with nice graphics, smooth gameplay and good sound. A complete playthrough is pretty short though (8 stages), and after you have finished the game with all of the characters there isn't much reason to keep playing. Given you are only likely to play this game for 4 or 5 hours, this game seems really overpriced, which is why I have given it a (generous) 7/10.
