The remastered version of a 1995 action platformer. Gargoyles Remastered has us playing as Goliath, a gargoyle on a quest to destroy a corrupted amulet, the Eye of Odin. The game features refreshed visuals, audio and new functionality.
Gargoyles Remastered is a remastered version of a 1995 action platformer, based on the animated series of the same name. It was co-developed by Empty Clip Studios and Disney.
The protagonist of Gargoyles Remastered is Goliath, a gargoyle. He must defeat the villainous Demona and take the Eye of Odin from her - a corrupted magical amulet that could doom the world in wrong hands.
Gargoyles Remastered is a side-scroller. The player must move to the right, traversing various locations, including the ancient Wyvern Castle, modern Manhattan skyscrapers and the New York subway. We'll jump on platforms, avoid obstacles, traps and face down enemies.
Goliath's primary weapons are his fists and claws; his wings, meanwhile let him attack from the air. Wings and claws come in handy while exploring too; the former let him glide and jump further, while the latter - climb walls and ceilings.
Though mechanically the game remains unchanged, the remastered version also includes a rewind feature, letting players undo their actions at any time.
Gargoyles Remastered features thoroughly refreshed visuals. The developers have created much more detailed sprites, locations and new animations. There are also new sound effects and a new version of the original soundtrack.
The player can switch between the original and remastered graphics at any time, as well as between three versions of the soundtrack.

COGconnected: 50 / 100 by Stephan Adamus
Limited Run is only selling physical copies of Gargoyles Remastered until October 22, so if you have any nostalgic love for this game, you have 3 days from the publication of this review to pick it up! And I really hope that you do. As much I can’t recommend Gargoyles Remastered to most players, I really appreciate Disney Games and Limited Run for creating quality remasters of retro games that aren’t in high demand. I have so much love and support for this project. I’d love to see this kind of treatment for more 16-bit Disney games like The Magical Quest trilogy, Mickey Mania, or Goof Troop.

Gargoyles Remastered feels very much stuck in its roots, a curse that sadly can't be broken by a new layer of animation, never mind the moonlight.
Destructoid: 5 / 10 by Zoey Handley
Truly, this is one for the fans. It’s a remaster for people who have fond memories of renting it for the Genesis back in the day. Fans of the cartoon might also find some value in it, as much as it tends to be an unfaithful adaptation. For everyone else, there are a lot of other games you can play before you need to reach the depths of Gargoyles. It’s not terrible, it just isn’t good. But at least it hasn’t been left sleeping for one thousand years.
