REVIEW QUOTES:
"Rochard kind of looks like a Metroidvania or Bionic Commando-style game at first, but it’s really neither. Instead, its focus is primarily on puzzle solving, and in that it succeeds, with clever challenges that get progressively more difficult."
- Ars Technica (Verdict: BUY)
"Rochard is a breath of fresh air for the PlayStation Network and the gaming industry as a whole. It is an original ideal filled with great puzzles and an entertaining sense of humor."
- Gaming Nexus (A-)
"Enjoy Rochard as it was intended, and let it bend your mind a bit. You won’t be sorry you did."
- IGN (8.5/10)

Good game but there is some problem with graphics. It looks like the previous screen doesn't clear so every frame gets drawn all over. Started happening from the 2nd chapter. I'm unable to play this game but would love to give it more stars.
Runs flawlessly on Nvidia shield tab with controller. I recommend this to anyone who wants to play an actual game on their tablet. 5 stars for sure. I don't understand the bad review.
Always crashes. Uninstalled
Can't even start a game. Shield Tablet with Controller
Very fun GAMEPAD REQUIRED
Nice side scrolling action
This game is absolutely fantastic! I bought it yesterday and been playing it for hours since then. The characters are all so sympathetic and funny, i love how every enemy voices their thoughts, it's just so hilarious! I can't thank the developer enough for porting this absolutely fantastic game to Android! I already know what i'm gonna do, as soon as i played through it. Play through again!
Graphics are great as well as the cut scenes and music and voice overs. Runs amazingly smooth on the shield tablet. The levels are not so hard you'll rage quit but not so easy that you get bored. Well worth the money.
The game has a annoying shader issue in form of a cross mark in the middle of the screen when playing on nvidia shield android TV in 1920x1080 and gradually disappears when lowering the resolution to 640x360 in the game video settings witch make the game look horrible on TV. Uninstall and reinstalled but did not help, seems to be a problem when playing on nvidia shield android TV. Please patch and fix this.
I really love this game and it was easily worth the money
. One of the shields best games
I love everything about this game!
Fantastic game. Well worth the money.
On the first stage, when it says hold R2 and aim with right stick, it doesn't. I don't know if it is just on the shield but I spent $7 on a game that doesn't even work. Can the developers PLEASE fix this problem or at least give me a refund. Thank you for your consideration.
Hi there! So I just bought myself Richard because I saw a lot of great reviews, when the first level comes up I do every thing right ( jump the stairs, climb the ladder, talk to that women) until I come to that cube ( I'm playing on the shield by the way) witch I cannot pickup! It says R2 to pickup, I've pressed every single button 20 times it just won't pickup the cube! Please help me I cannot go forward in the game! If you fix my problem I'll change my vote to 5!
Awesome game and just pure fun. Console type game on mobile. This Dev has a customer for life if they make games like this one. Plays great on shield portable.
HD version of the games we all played and loved in the arcades. Contra, Metal Slug and even Elevator Action all come to mind. Playing this on the Android TV ADT-1 and it looks and plays beautifully. Loving this game.
You people left an achievement about a bonus level, and I researched it online. How do I get Hard Times dlc on Android? Nothing I found told me how to get the dlc on Android, only on Steam.
I had an issue but the Dev response and helped me solve it
Fun, but leaves you feeling stuck often. You'll solve the issue in your head as you're dozing off, so you either get out of bed then and there, or go to sleep wondering even in your dreams.
If you have the hardware to play it, you really shouldn't pass up this game. Own a Shield? It's almost criminal not to purchase this game.
Re-installed issue was fixed.
.... need more time with it, but it's well executed & plays fluidly.
One of the best games I've ever played. If your hardware can handle it, you should try it out.
This is by far the best game on the Shield and one of the best on Android. The gameplay had me wanting to play this game everyday and the graphics made it a pleasure to look at. I was almost sad when I beat the game. Hopefully you guys have sequel in the works, because I definitely want more of what you're making.
This is one of my favorite games for any platform. Seriously. Production values are top notch. The voice acting and writing is excellent. The graphics are great. The controls are stellar. Stop reading and buy this.
One of the best on Nvidia Shield.
Runs great on Shield. Games like this is what its all about.
I wish I can give this a 4.5. This game is polished. I love the voice acting and dialogue! I like the soundtrack that they have; hopefully if they make a part 2, they put more music throughout the game. Another thing, they should create a hard mode in an update or in the next game.This is a pretty sweet platforming action title. Looking forward to more Recoil games.
