Gaming Nexus: 7.4 / 10 by Cyril Lachel

Originally a homebrew Genesis role-playing game, Pier Solar and the Great Architects has made the leap from 16-bit to the modern age. While the presentation is spot on, the gameplay is marred by combat that seems to favor the enemies. Couple this with obtuse puzzles and an aimless story and you have an adventure game that is good, but doesn't stack up to the best games in the genre.

NintendoWorldReport: 5.5 / 10 by Curtis Bonds

Overall, Pier Solar is just an average JRPG at best. Perhaps some of its novelty was lost due to it being a able title rather than an actual, physical Sega Genesis cartridge. It's really hard to recommend unless you're absolutely starved for an RPG on the Wii U.

Push Square: 6 / 10 by Kell Andersen

Stating that 'you'll enjoy this game if you're a fan of the genre' is arguably the most meaningless and overused video game review cliché of all time. But in the case of Pier Solar HD, it's startlingly accurate. This is a retro RPG down to its very core, and if you aren't prepared to accept its charmingly archaic quirks, you probably won't relish your time with it. However, if you are willing to embrace its idiosyncrasies – some amiable, some aggravating - you'll find a veritable wealth of content to explore.
