- Kotaku enjoys Lichtspeer and strudel. - 1 October 2016
I liked Lichtspeer before I even started playing it. The menu screen, if you’ll believe it, is what sold me. Here’s what it looks like: Where the exit button would normally be, Lichtspeer has a button that reads, “Go home and eat strudel.” And when you press it, a god-like voice triumphantly belts out, “STRUDEL.” READ MORE HERE

- Old School Cool - a review by DualShockers - 28 September 2016
SCORE: 8.5/10 "Lichthund’s Lichtspeer is the game I didn’t know I needed. Oozing with 80’s flair, the game is one of the most simply constructed yet absolutely addictive titles I’ve played in recent memory. The high score-chasing action and retro style is exactly the palette cleanser for a season packed with AAA behemoths." READ MORE HERE
- LICHTSPEER - a review by PC Invasion - 28 September 2016
SCORE: 8/10 "Lichtspeer is the stupidest bloody game I’ve played in a long time, and I mean that as a compliment. It’s the classic tale of ancient Germanic future, where the gods get bored and give a random warrior a spear made out of Licht so that they can fight off hordes of hipster ice giants and penguins and zombies. You know, just like you learned in school in your ancient future class. It’s deceptively simple. Barring some special abilities, your entire job is to hold down the left mouse button to charge up a spear (er, Lichtspeer) throw, aim its trajectory with the mouse, and release to hurl. If an enemy reaches you, you’re dead. If you succeed in doing this through five separate screens on the level, you get to go to the next level. That’s… that’s basically the entire game."

- Take A Trip Into The Ancient Germanic Future With Lichtspeer - a review by Indiegames.com - 28 September 2016
"Lichtspeer is an "action arcade lightspear-throwing simulator." However, reducing the game to its rather simple mechanics doesn't quite do it justice. You are stationary while all kinds of enemies rush towards you. You aim your spear, throw, and hopefully catch them right in the face before they get to you. If they do, you have to try again from the beginning of the stage. The game tries to shake up the formula now and again - with enemies that shoot back, devastating attacks that have to be stopped before they can be executed, and the occasional boss fight - but at the end of the day it is a rather simplistic affair. However, this doesn't mean that it's boring - far from it, actually. For one thing, the difficulty feels just right. Yes, you will die repeatedly, and you'll probably hurl the occasional insult towards the screen, but that's what kept me highly motivated to play on. I can…
- LICHTSPEER - a review by Gameramble.com - 28 September 2016
"At first Lichtspeer looks like a game that is too simple to keep players engaged for very long, but it is easy to pick up and play yet fiercely addictive. Just completing the regular difficulty is quite a feat and then there is still a New Game + mode as well as the appropriately titled “Rage Quit” mode. Don’t let the simple visuals and wacky story fool you, Lichtspeer is one of those games that will have you hooked after your first try and leave you hurling spears (and abuse) at foes long into the night." SCORE: 8.7/10 READ MORE HERE
- Lichtspeer Makes Pleasing a German God Difficult, Yet Funny - a review by Twinfinite - 28 September 2016
"The simple control scheme and flashy look of Lichtspeer create an insane yet enjoyable combination. With such a basic approach to gameplay, the game pushes the challenge by adding in more difficult enemies and, of course, simply increasing their number. A thumping electronic soundtrack and pervasive humor keep things moving as you go, and there are plentiful levels to take on, including a good number of fights against huge, potent bosses." SCORE: 3.5/5 READ MORE HERE
