A time of chaotic, indistinct impressions!
No, I, of course, understand that it’s pointless to write this topic now: somewhere out there, Dishonored and XCOM have just come out, already tearing into rags and “God’s ten!!»all journalists indiscriminately, someone has not yet moved on from Borderlands 2, and people who are not deprived of a console are driving lady-in-red a lady-in-tight-pants following in the footsteps of a guy-with-bangs-and-the-surname-of-a-famous-president-of-the-USA. But, you know, I can’t remain silent. I bought Retro City Rampage here. And he… he’s beautiful!
No, seriously. I’ve played RCR for a little over an hour so far, but this hour is enough for me to pick it up right now and declare my love for this game. Retro City Rampage, hear, I LOVE YOU.
Why? Well, to understand me, you must be over fifteen you must have grown up in the nineties with an eight-bit NES clone (dandy, simba, watcher). MegaDrive will also work, but NES is preferable. Or not. Okay, if you remember what the screensavers looked like back then, what the music sounded like and what the games were like, then after launching Retro City Rampage and playing it for an hour, you too will start screaming "Retro City Rampage, do you hear, I LOVE YOU. ».
Our name is PLAYER – Player. Well, yes, that’s what they call: “Come here, Player!", "Help me, Player!", "Well done, Player!»
Because everything here, literally everything, everything down https://nubetcasino.co.uk/mobile-app/ to the last sound presses on nostalgia and reminds us of those very games. But, we must give the game its due, in terms of nostalgia for the consoles of the eighties and nineties, the game is quite flexible.
So it doesn’t matter whether you played a Dandy, something Spectrum-like, or something you could fit in your pocket – Retro City Rampage covers everyone.
In general, nominally, here we have a clone of two-dimensional GTA. Here, too, you can wander around the city, beat up everyone and shake out the loot from them, run away from the police in the first car you come across, or get into a taxi and start a private cab service. But that’s not what the game takes away from. The game has some crazy amount of references to everything you can imagine. In the first mission, let’s say, we help a certain man with a jester’s cap on his head rob a bank, and then we leave on a bus, which drove into the bank building in the most direct way – by ramming the wall. After that, we escape through the sewers, jumping into the green pipe, along the way we deal with four certain green creatures that crawled out of this sewer, and received the “Killabunga” achievement for this!"(there are already three references – and these are the ones that obviously catch your eye!)
And such small and large Easter eggs are just a dime a dozen.
Remember the second level from the first Contra?
He’s here.
Remember the game Jackal about cars and war??
She will appear here.
Remember the first Metal Gear??
He is also remembered.
I won’t talk about the fact that there are shelters, interesting gameplay and wonderful, wonderful music, I’ll save this for the moment when/if I sit down to write a normal full-fledged review.
So far, for the first hour of the game, my rating is a pixelated “Amazing” and a call to readers to take it and buy it.
