Reception

Code Shifters isn’t a bad game. It’s not a great game either, its just kind of there.

Code Shifter is a solid enough action platformer for fans of Arc System Works' properties but doesn't deliver much in the way of original content.

Code Shifter is a neat idea that simply does not do itself any favors. The game play is fine, just uninspired. I wish it was more fleshed out with more variety in combat and design.

With an enjoyable story, the novelty of changing between a large cast of characters, and a fun extra game mode, Code Shifter makes up for its shortcomings with many ideas successfully carried out. Bright, colorful, and energetic, Code Shifter is worth a buy for studio fans.

It’s a mediocre action-platformer that masks its problems with characters from established series. It was cool to see all of these characters together in one place, but when the underlying gameplay is as barebones and boring as it is here, it’s hardly worth the time.
