It's actually a good remake of the nostalgia game of my childhood. However, there are many bugged achievements and the online play system is not ideal, so I can't give a positive review. Since the game price is high, I hope developers can fix the issues afterwards.

Amazing game. I played a lot of this game as a kid and this remaster remains faithful. Improved gameplay, improved graphics, difficulty settings and language settings, secrets and achievements as well as tons of characters all with their own special abilities and all the other characters can choose which element they wanna use! I'm giving it a thumbs up but I do have some issues with the game. No matter how fast i …

I like it. It's a great and faithful remaster of an old classic. Me and my mate, Dave, would go down to the shop and play it after school. It is THE arcade game i look for if I ever see an arcade. I feel that Taito ruined the Bubble Bobble remaster, but Snow Bros. is thankfully faithful to form and function. The game is the same as it was, just better. Play the modern version with 'CRT on' to get an idea of what it …

Great revival of an arcade cult classic. Not to be missed if you enjoy the original Snow Bros or single-screen platformers generally.

I loved how these people kept and improved the snow bros' original game content, which I loved to play as a child. It's also a great journey to discover more stages and boss fights.

85% of the 13 Steam reviewers we collected recommend SNOW BROS. 2 SPECIAL. The complaint that keeps coming up: bugged achievements and online play issues. Deal-breaker or nitpick?

positive · AI labelView post →As a remake of an arcade game that always felt too short for its own good imo, Snow Bros. 2 Special REALLY surprised me. More levels that blend in well with the old ones, every boss has multiple phases, and the whole thing feels very expressive compared to the OG.
