### 5/5 — Greatest igame ever

Long live Venture Kid.

Please do a sequel. No game has been able to match the awesomeness of this mega hit.

Super file

### 5/5 — おもろい

*2020-09-26*

とっても面白いです

### 2/5 — Bello ma .....

*2020-09-06, version 1.1*

Gioco ben fatto , ottima grafica e colonna sonora . Unico difetto, i boss finali soprattutto un paio , veramente troppo difficili , io mi ritengo un ottimo giocatore , ma si capisce che i programmatori hanno voluto strafare, anche perché il gioco durante il livello ha una difficoltà medio facile , quindi si vede che hanno ritenuto opportuno, per allungare il brodo , fare questi boss al limite dell impossibile. Ti toglie ogni piacere del Game play , infatti gioco accantonato. Peccato .

### 5/5 — Make venture kid 2

*2020-06-11, version 1.1*

I love this game I would love it if you made venture kid 2

### 5/5 — Still playing:)

*2020-04-22, version 1.1*

3 years later, I still play through every now and then. Replayable like original Castlevania.

### 5/5 — 8-Bit Heaven!

*2020-04-09, version 1.1*

Challenging without being impossible, yet not so easy that you get bored. Great commands/usability, great music and sound effects. An instant classic!

### 5/5 — Awesome tittle

*2020-03-11, version 1.1*

All old schools gamer will love it

### 5/5 — A well done tip of the hat to the NES

*2020-01-09, version 1.1*

From start to finish Venture Kid is a well crafted reminder of the halcyon days of the NES. I think Venture Kid is one of the top tier 8bit retro games available on ios, unfortunate that we never got a sequel to this one.

### 5/5 — Dont make’m like they used to

*2019-12-06, version 1.1*

Back in the day when nintendo 8 bit was the only console we knew, game creators had to make the games appealing by digging deep as they couldnt rely on being saved by graphics. This game is a digger. Rich themes, escalating boss levels, alternating challenges and little repetition. We need a sequel.

### 4/5 — 良い

*2019-11-22*

操作しやすい

### 5/5 — いいね

*2019-07-18*

いいね

### 5/5 — Macht Spaß

*2019-07-14*

Nice

### 5/5 — Mükemmel

*2019-07-09, version 1.1*

Oyunun kontrolleri inanılmaz rahat, fakat oyun gerçekten zor.

### 5/5 — Voyage nostalgique !

*2019-06-15*

Jeu réussi mais tellement difficile de nos jours par manque de checkpoint...
Les commandes tactiles répondent parfaitement ce qui est rare. 
Les décors sont beaux et agréables à l’œil et la musique vaut le coup sans être pauvre et lassante.
Bref, il s’agit un bon petit jeu rappelant la SNES de Nintendo à l’époque de Megaman !

### 1/5 — Don’t Buy

*2025-02-10*

The app still don’t run on full screen mode on big screen iPhone’s. Even after 8-10 years of release and increasing the price developers just forget to do their job. Not expected…please don’t buy.

### 1/5 — The fortress 2 level is hard!

*2024-09-28, version 1.1*

Bro why do you have to make it a three boss level like bro just give us a checkpoint when we die we don’t want to start the dang level all over again so fix that please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

### 1/5 — 😡

*2022-09-26, version 1.1*

Bought it for four pounds plus. Really angry now!! It doesn't save and so each time you play you have to start from the very beginning!!! Unless I'm doing something wrong ; not happy 😡

### 1/5 — Best game

*2019-05-01, version 1.1*

The best game in the AppStore would be awesome if new levels were added.

### 1/5 — Asozial Schwer

*2016-04-04*

Die Steuerung ist wenn man sie raus hat nicht SO schwer aber ich bin 12 und habe das erste Level auf normal nicht geschafft. (Nach über 15 Versuchen)

### 1/5 — Bel gioco ma...

*2016-02-14, version 1.0*

Gico stuoendo ma al livello 7 c'è un bug che mi blocca e non posso andare oltre. Il personaggio diventa invisibile e non puo attaccare ne morire. Peccato sarebbe da 5 stelle.

### 5/5 — Nostalgic

*2025-09-27, version 1.1*

I had this game at one point but when I deleted it I couldn’t find it anywhere but I searched up Megaman collection which is another lost game I can’t find but I found this again. Let me get into the game now, well it’s very retro style and the gameplay is good and really deserves to be seen more. This game is great, go check it out.

### 5/5 — Great platformer

*2025-06-28, version 1.1*

This is a great one time purchase game. It’s fun with the weapons and reminds me of mega man.

### 5/5 — Great Game

*2025-05-22, version 1.1*

It’s like Megaman but he can actually jump. Soundtrack is great too. I actually found out about this game listening to the Norrin Radd soundtrack for this.

### 5/5 — epic

*2025-04-15, version 1.1*

best of the best. one of the greatest ios games of all time. just need an update.

### 5/5 — NES Excellence

*2024-02-16, version 1.1*

VENTURE KID is an excellent NES-era game. I replay it every year or so. Great controls, fun levels, neat bosses. I'm in my mid 40s. The last gaming systems I owned were the Nintendo 64 and PlayStation (original).

### 5/5 — Great to twist to an old classic

*2023-02-23, version 1.1*

Awesome retro game…..reminds me of an old classic Mega Man one of my favorite Nintendo games. Simple and great 8-bit graphics….. I will play this in my spare time. Great download

### 5/5 — Hard but fun

*2022-01-10, version 1.1*

Like megaMan. Goid controls.

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2022-01-01, version 1.1*

This game is incredible! Everything about it is an homage to a certain blue robot mascot. And to be honest, the layout, chip tunes, and bosses are even better then some of those classic games. I wish there were an entire series of these games. With a controller, this is old school gaming perfection.

### 5/5 — Wow

*2021-10-06, version 1.1*

I never review games. Amazing play controls. Challenging without being rage-inducing. Great customer support and timely responses. Long term playability and by that I mean it rewards persistence (you get more coins which means more power and weapons). So if you’re really good, you won’t need them all but if you’re not, you get paid enough coins to get the extra stuff you need to win soon enough.

### 5/5 — 久しぶりに遊びますよ

*2021-09-12*

何年も前に遊びはじめたのですが、

おなじみのFCアクション同じく、
とても難しい難易度で、自分にはクリアできなかった。
のですが…

今日初めたら、

最初からあったのかは分かりませんが
ノーマル・ハードの選択できる難易度があったので
ノーマルではじめてみました。

クリアできるかなぁ？
