Fenix Rage

If you’re up for the challenge, Fenix Rage has more than enough content to keep you busy for a long, long time. The game is also a speedrunners’ dream, and I anticipate seeing some incredible things done with this game by the speedrunning community in the coming months.

Obviously Fenix Rage loses some points for coming after, but if the worst thing you can say about a game is “Damn near as good as Meat Boy” then that’s very high praise.

Fenix Rage is a pretty good game, but can also be a frustrating experience. If you don’t mind the fact that it could almost pass for a sequel to Super Meat Boy and that the difficulty curve is all over the place and can easily make you frustrated, it is an enjoyable experience.

With a rock solid gameplay, ultra reliable controls and refreshing mechanics for a platform game, Fenix Rage passes the Super Meat Boy test and brings tons of new challenges for gamers willing to push themselves to the limit.

Fenix Rage manages to scratch the itch for the super-challenging Super Meat Boy-like but it doesn’t scratch it for quite long enough.

With a very affordable price, Fenix Rage offers countless hours of gameplay. It's a little gem for all the friends of difficult platformers.

I'd still crown Super Meat Boy king of this genre, but thanks to inspired mechanics, variety-packed pacing, and satisfyingly steep challenges, Fenix Rage can proudly stand next to its protein-packed inspiration.

For hardcore gamers in need of a huge challenge, Fenix Rage is definitely a must-have. It is incredibly well-executed in terms of gameplay and level design. This lovely platformer feels like some sheet music that would punish you each time you're not exactly in the right timing. Which can repulse a lot of players eventually but will motivate some others to be busy for quite some time.

Fenix Rage is nothing short of great. It’s a worthy entry into an unfortunately short line of hardcore and enjoyable platformers, with great aesthetics and music backed by solid mechanics.

There are more challenges to unlock in Fenix Rage than I should bother mentioning, including one that butts heads with my infinite-jumping utopia, so it’s worth noting that on top of an already enjoyable and cookie-filled game, you’ll find yourself revisiting earlier levels again just to maximize your investment.

No pain, no gain. Fenix Rage is harsh, strong and will punch you in the face, with no remorse and no regrets. If you accept its challenge, you'll find something interesting. But beware: anger and rage with the joypad are around the corner.

Fenix Rage knows that you're here for a challenge, and that's exactly what it serves. Through the highs and the lows, you don't really have any time to think about what's going on or to be bothered by the simplistic and overly saturated visuals and repetitive generic music.

It may not be in a position to dethrone Super Meat Boy, but Fenix Rage still provides an interesting jumping and dashing mechanic while featuring a vast variety of levels and challenges that will train your reflexes for many days.

Despite being a shorter and less varied experience than Super Meat Boy, this game perfectly fills the void felt by anyone looking for a new platformer where they will snap their controllers in frustration.

It lacks the heart and the polish of its peers, but Fenix Rage is a competent platformer nonetheless.

Fenix Rage isn’t for everybody. Some fans of Super Meat Boy, Flappy Bird and other challenging platformers may want to test their mettle in a new arena, but conquering its trials results in a hollow sense of victory.

Although it is not a game to remember, it is a challenging experience, one of those titles meant to test your skills and make you have a good time.

I have nothing against mega-difficult games, there are just better ones to spend your time with than Fenix Rage.
