TSA writes: The Power Rangers are back in a new beat 'em up adventure, but can Ritas Rewind match the best of the genre's recent revival?
VGChartz's Evan Norris: "Not every genre came to play in 2024, but action certainly did. It delivered several high-quality games covering a variety of play styles: action-platforming, beat-'em-up, hack-and-slash, etc. For those looking for a spiritual successor to Goemon, Good-Feel delivered the goods with the brawling platformer Bakeru. For millennials searching for that nostalgia fix, Digital Eclipse brought Power Rangers back into the spotlight with the co-op belt-scroller Rita's Rewind. For those craving more Souls-like, deflection-based gameplay, Red Candle Games produced an action-platformer even Sekiro diehards could respect. And for those asking what fills the void after Nier: Automata, Shift Up offered a possible answer in Stellar Blade."
"TMNT: Shredder’s Revenge kicked off a wave of nostalgic beat ‘em ups that shows no signs of slowing down. While none of these challengers have managed to match Shredder’s Revenge in quality, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Rita’s Rewind, from Digital Eclipse and Atari, comes the closest so far. With a stellar presentation, an impressive mix of gameplay styles, 6-player local co-op, and online co-op, Rita’s Rewind promises a morphenomenal time for Power Rangers and beat ‘em up fans," says Co-Optimus.
I'll pick this up when it gets a physical release. There's already been one big update. By then I'm sure there will be another one.
Go go get it.
hmm.... me thinks this reviewer is not a fan of pixel art style old school brawlers as they did the review for the Gi Joe one not too long ago as well as the Karate Kid game and also reviewed them low. I did not go digging but I bet they also did not like the Turtles one either.
for me personally... I dig these retro inspired games. They are just plain old fashioned FUN.
