Freedom Finger is a completely unexpected retro shooter banger. Its unique hand-drawn style, amazing soundtrack, highly offensive humour and various unique and clever gameplay mechanics all come together to deliver a beautifully anarchic ride through a madcap campaign that backs up its brash stylings with solid and challenging gameplay.

Freedom Finger is a horizontal shooter that incorporates a humorous storyline and a hard charging soundtrack. This triple threat coalesces into a game that will keep horizontal shooter fans invested for some time.

I love that Freedom Finger sticks it, quite literally, to any expectations or tropes of the shmup genre. It's tough, puerile and loud, while being thoughtful, creative and satirical. The music is fantastic, the challenge rewarding, and its only real hindrance is the ability of your fingers and thumbs.

An amazing soundtrack and clear art direction surround solid gameplay loops, resulting in Freedom Finger being worth the money…and that’s without paying too much attention to the mastery of Aesop Rock’s tracks.

Taking its off-the-wall sense of humour into account or not, there's no denying that Freedom Finger is a great shmup in every sense.

Freedom Finger is an amusing side-scrolling shooter with a challenge available for those who want it, and gameplay accessibility for those who’d rather not get frustrated with some of the later levels’ difficulty.

As it stands this is a game that I picked up once and put down without any intention of coming back. Still, I loved the time I spent with it.

Freedom Finger is a side scrolling shot´em up game with an artistic section drawn entirely by hand. Humor and surreal accompany us through forty levels as we sail through space with our hand-shaped ship.

Freedom Finger has some fantastic gameplay but its social and political satire is somewhat underwhelming.
