"Volta-X has its enjoyable moments and provides a decent strategy experience with a fair level of difficulty. Since I like to take my Nintendo Switch with me when I head out, I do wish the offline mode had more content but nothing’s stopping me from playing this when I am home. Even though the story may not have been the wow factor, I can feel a lot of love was poured into the game, and this is evident in the smooth controls, colorful designs, and of course, the webcomic. Though battles can feel repetitive after a while, its intuitive controls make it easy to put down and pick back up the next day, and Volta-X is enjoyable enough for you to want to do so."

Single-player mode offers a solo challenge while co-op lets two players team up for shared survival. The game stands out for its fast-paced action and cooperative multiplayer which was rare for the era. Despite its age High Voltage remains a favorite among retro gaming circles for its straightforward fun and competitive replayability. Released just before the 1980s arcade boom peaked it holds up as a lean example of the side-scrolling shooter genre.
