Retro City Rampage: DX is bursting with homages to classic games, movies and TV shows, and a majority of them are enough to make you laugh out loud.
Roaming the city with unlockable characters is a blast, and being able to access the challenges found throughout the game from the main menu is a convenient feature. One mission might find you fighting go-go dancers with a Ghostbusters team parody while another finds you arming bombs in a dam, a la Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Along with the story, two other modes are offered to keep you coming back. The set up is goofy and the story doesn’t quite hold up throughout the entire game, but it’s too campy to fault it for not being enjoyable. If you haven’t played through any of the other versions before, the rundown is simple: created as an 8-bit version of Grand Theft Auto, Provinciano’s game lets players wreak havoc in Theftropolis as they try to fix the time machine that brought them to the future. It also helps that it only costs $9.99, coming in cheaper than other versions while still offering the best possible experience. While Retro City Rampage: DXretains the updates that have been released thus far, it also adds an amazing amount of depth to the already enticing game with a completely reworked version that serves as the definitive iteration for fans to enjoy.
Brian Provinciano, the sole developer of the game, has been supporting his project since release, giving fans tons of updates and freshly implemented ideas to toy with. It’s definitely not a bad thing, though, because any excuse to play through this hilariously retro title is one I’m willing to take. Reviewing Retro City Rampage in 2014 seems a bit odd since the original release date was almost two years ago.
