Evaluation
Flashback launched on October 1, 2013 as a reimagining of the 1992 classic, developed by the original team and published by Ubisoft. The store description presents the game as a complete, self-contained product with no mention of DLC, expansions, or ongoing content. There have been zero developer news posts or communications of any kind post-launch. Notably, the store page itself confirms that as of November 2017, the game's online multiplayer and co-op features were permanently shut down — a strong indicator that the developer has fully concluded support for this title. The game launched as a finished product and has received no post-launch content updates at any point in its history.

About this game
20 years after the original game’s launch, Conrad is enlisted back to active service for the triumphant return of one of the most acclaimed franchises in gaming history.
It’s not a reboot. It’s Flashback re-imagined. The original Core-Team revamped their own creation, leveraging the best of today’s technology while remaining true to the classic side-scroller that set the standards of the genre in the 90’s.
One of the best adventure-action games ever created re-imagined by its creators. It’s the same team. It’s the same passion. Only this time, they have had much more firepower at their disposal to recreate the legendary classic!
Gorgeous graphics, amazing animations. It’s the Flashback you’ve always dreamed of. True to the original spirit but made a million times better by using modern engines such as Unreal and Havok. The makeover is completely stunning.
It’s all about Gameplay. The team modernized gameplay mechanics, making the game more reactive, offering new features, like gadgets and an experience progression system. But the developers kept the original formula in mind: a fine balance between rolling and shooting, exploring remote space stations and obliterating hostile alien planets.
Bringing back new memories. The story was revamped to speak to 21st century gamers. Most of the cast of the original game is still here – Conrad, the Morphs – but you can expect new characters and a few twists you’re definitely not going to forget… this time.
Please note that as of November 2017, the online features for this game are no longer supported. The Multiplayer mode / Co-op mode will no longer be accessible.
