He’ll also hid in a box later on, but come on, who wouldn’t want to take lessons from a pro? Not only is the character in the game, but he will train you to shoot, fight and jump on top of enemies heads. A character who clearly takes inspiration from Metal Gear Solid’s Solid Snake. Talk about madness.)īut the absolute best bit has to be the appearance of one Major Lee Solid. But even if you can’t earn a single medal as you failed to get the required amount within the time limit, you can of course earn yourself a ribbon! (For the sake of saying it again, you are rewarded for killing, even if you fail to hit the goal. In fact there is a whole medal system at play where players can participate in things like Slaughter Sprees and if they can kill enough people, or cause enough mayhem in a certain way, with a certain weapon, they can get a Bronze, Silver, or even a Gold medals. (Yes Retro City Rampage DX is a game that rewards destruction). Grand Theft Auto may never come to Nintendo Switch, but with the likes of Retro City Rampage DX, a Grand Theft Auto release is not necessarily! Retro City Rampage DX offers a lot of the same things any GTA game can, you can mow down as many people as you want and be rewarded for it, you can raise your threat meter and force the police and army to come after you if you’re a big enough threat and be rewarded for it. I’ll be honest, the story isn’t all that, but it’s not supposed to be, this game is a walking, talking, action packed parody, so it’s meant to be funny with a touch of bizarre, but where the game really stands out, is in all the things it has to offer. Long story short, nothing goes as planned and the Player ends up in a time travelling phone booth that takes him to the distant future (the year 20XX to be precise!) It is then in said future, where the player is greeted by Doc Choc (based on Doctor Emmett Brown from the Back to the Future,) whom he must work with to get the required time machine parts to rebuild a broken time travel machine. The protagonist is the Player and the Player soon gets mixed up in trouble when in the year of 1985, he signs up to be a thug and three years later, whilst working as a henchman to a big bad criminal by the name of the Jester, who just so happens to the leader of a major crime syndicate. We’re talking styles, loot bags, “good times,” invisible walls and power-ups, but let’s talk about the story for the moment. As an open world game there is plenty to see and do, as the city is sizable, there are missions of all kinds and lots of fun challenges to do in addition to a main story and a whole lot of stuff to collect. RETRO CITY RAMPAGE DX ALL ACHIEVEMENTS PLUSPlus there’s the whole hang-out sessions with street workers, laws to break and an army to flee from, but we don’t need to go further down that road, so let’s bring it back to Retro City Rampage DX, a game that was inspired by Rockstar Games’ Grand Theft Auto series. (Yes the excessive use of the word “retro” in this sentence is deliberate.)įor me, the whole Rampage aspect is what I enjoy most about the game, sure it is absolutely riddled with references to noticeable franchises and series’ that is very enjoyable to see in action, but who doesn’t want to bust a cap into everything and everyone you see in video game land? There is a reason why the Grand Theft Auto games are so popular with gamers the world over, it speaks to humanity’s primal desires to cause chaos with no ensuing consequences. Prior to experiencing the game on Switch this week, I have never played Retro City Rampage DX, or its original incarnation on any playable platform and I am kicking myself for that because this game is class! Developed and published by Vblank Entertainment, Retro City Rampage DX is a game an open world game that is perfectly summed up by its own title as it is retro adventure, taking place in a retro city named Theftropolis, where you can go on a retro rampage. I hope you’re ready for an extreme dose of mayhem, chaos and destruction as the Nintendo Switch now has its latest open world game and that game is none other than Retro City Rampage DX.
