    Maybe a little bit of polish on the controls or some fine tuning with the difficulty curve, but Super Rad Raygun is definitely worth a playthrough. As a love letter to the Game Boy era and classic games, in general, you’d be hard pressed to find another game made with such passion and style.

    Despite it bringing classic issues along with it that can lead to a rather inconsistent difficulty, I quite enjoyed my time with Super Rad Raygun, although it could have been a bit more fine-tuned and polished.

    Super Rad Raygun is not what you would call addicting, simple silly fun inspired by a simple silly time in video game history. Any classic gamer would love this title and would even be a great way to introduce new gamers to what it used to be like for us old people. I would easily play again between AAA releases.

    Super Rad Raygun has many things and is a great reminder of the old days, for those old enough to have had a Nintendo Gameboy during the 90’s. Slick retro style. Easy mechanics. Great references, if you're capable of picking them up, and a nice soundtrack. Expect mix ups with downloads, which would probably be fixed in a future update.

The story of this game is that a former scientist turned robot named RAD RAYGUN! (yes, I know it's lame) Has been reactivated to stop the Soviets in the year 198x. While the story isn't the best in the world, the game makes up for it. The game is fun, the controls are great, the level design is solid, and the soundtrack for the game is killer. Though let me advise you, if you want the soundtrack, you need to pay five more bucks for the soundtrack, unless you got it during its launch week. Overall, the game is a solid throwback that desires a purchase if you into these kinds of games, and if you hate platformers, then why are you looking into getting this game?… Full Review »
