![]() ![]() While Retro City Rampage DX’s story was somewhat short, its time on my Switch will not be. It’s rife with murder and car stealing, but features very little blood, drugs, or sex it’s surprisingly PG for a game about murdering everyone. If youre a purist, the game includes a 'ROM City Rampage' mode. The sped-up “Turbo Mode” unlocked after the credits takes the game to nearly unplayable levels of ridiculousness.Īlso, the game features dozens of retro screen filters and an absolutely wonderful soundtrack. Retro City Rampage is presented in an 8-bit style, with a few modern niceties like parallax scrolling and an expanded color palette. The 3D effect was awful and ‘80s and perfect. When a screen before the final boss told me to put on my 3D glasses, dammit, I red-Sharpied some cellophane and tied a Blu-ray case to my head. Every time I thought “this is ridiculous,” it responded with an “I know, right?” and put a waypoint on Batman’s house or something. While hard to convey here, the entire game is drenched in a level of care hard to find in a big-team game. Being able to drive down the sidewalk for a minute before slipping away to your mission keeps the momentum, while reserving the really big weapons for certain story points and high-level law enforcements keeps them feeling special. Dying takes away every weapon but jumping and punching, so gathering weapons from fallen officers is almost a prerequisite for each mission. Kill enough cops or turn down the right alley of Theftropolis and you’ll find a coin that greatly reduces law enforcement’s interest in you. For me, unbridled destruction is the entire point of the genre but is usually ended all too quickly by a swarm of SWAT team members. Retro City Rampage DX does scratch that sandbox itch I was looking for with one major upgrade: cop-cloaking power-ups. OPEN-WORLD carjacking goes back to the 80s in this 8-BIT nostalgic throwback. ![]() Even the game doesn’t care about its story, made evident by the increasing absurdity of the scenarios. É uma paródia de jogo, que lembra a série Grand Theft Auto. The script teases out a chuckle and a “WTF?” before quickly getting out of the way each and every time. Retro City Rampage é um jogo eletrônico de ação e aventura para os consoles WiiWare, Xbox 360, PlayStation e Steam. At one point, a Ghostbusters-themed custodial team is frightened of dancers in a rundown club so Player has to “clean up” the club by murdering everyone. Basically, the aptly named “Player” gets sent through time and has to steal parts to build a time machine. Story beats clip by at an extreme pace, making sure you never care about what’s going on. ![]()
