ThisGenGaming says "Reagan Gorbachev takes place in an alternate 1986 during the Cold War; both United States President Ronald Reagan and Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev have been kidnapped by extremists. They must work together, put aside their differences and save the world from a nuclear armageddon. The plot may be far-fetched and cheesy, but this game isn’t a lesson in political science. Developed by Team2Bit, Reagan Gorbachev is a cooperative game where both characters must escape every level alive. Standing in their path are guards, locked doors, traps, turrets and more waiting in the wings. Players can control each character separately or team up for 2-player couch co-op. Reagan Gorbachev is best played with another person, but more on that later."
John at GameSpew: "While Reagan Gorbachev presents some novel ideas, and builds upon a strong, Hotline Miami-inspired foundation, it nonetheless left me feeling cold."
Drew Leachman writes: There are those games that release that break the mold. They stand out from the pack in many different ways, and offer up a unique experience for the player. Games like that will be remembered for their innovations. Then there’s Reagan Gorbachev, a game that revels in its own insanity and embraces it, which it will be remembered for the fact that I’m playing as Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev as they go around a military base killing soldiers with samurai swords and poison dart arrows…and shotguns and rocket launchers.
Joao writes "The plot of Reagan Gorbachev is fairly simplistic and possibly the most far-fetched and cheese filled that you’re ever likely to see – one that puts you into the alternate year of 1986 where the US President Ronald Reagan and the last Soviet leader, Mikhail Gorbachev have both been kidnapped by some militant extremists. Now they must team up and work side by side in order to save themselves, and the world, from a nuclear armageddon."
