    The demo was so great I made it a point to dl it day one, and even looked to get a physical copy (which I found and was way too expensive). The game was good, but a bit buggy, and far too short. I really want to recommend it but I'd say definitely wait for a sale. If they fixed the bugs and gave us a few more levels I would say this game is a hidden gem that needs to be played.

    What’s a shame to me with Okinawa Rush is that beyond some flaws that are frustratingly hard to ignore there can be pretty intense moments of side-scrolling brawler fun where it does work pretty well. It starts with a small thing but the mapping of the menu button to advance is B instead of A, but then an all-too-steady drip of other irritants continue to emerge as well ranging fromWhat’s a shame to me with Okinawa Rush is that beyond some flaws that are frustratingly hard to ignore there can be pretty intense moments of side-scrolling brawler fun where it does work pretty well. It starts with a small thing but the mapping of the menu button to advance is B instead of A, but then an all-too-steady drip of other irritants continue to emerge as well ranging from aggravating level design to difficulty identifying objects in the foreground versus the background (with lethal results) and an abundance of cheap death traps peppered about that break up the fun with aggravation. While perhaps a bit on the spammy side at times when you’re brawling with enemies the fun does emerge though, and though you may be inclined towards button mashing there are some moves you can use that will make your life much simpler and look quite cool. The result puts my feelings a bit in limbo, enjoying the good times, but having a hard time simply ignoring the bad ones. Give it a look and see where you may fall on the spectrum if you’re a fan of classic brawlers.

    Take the aesthetics of Double Dragon and Streets of Rage, add some combos from a Tekken or a Street Fighter game, and then you have a good idea of what awaits you in Okinawa Rush. The splendid pixel art, the detailed animations, the variety of the gameplay are in favor of the game of the Miller brothers, whose love for the ancients beat'em up is felt on many points.

    Okinawa Rush is a treat for beat-em-up fans and anyone looking for a challenge. Making all the endings and finding all the secrets guarantees many hours of play, even on an easy difficulty. Although it has its problems (the menu and the feng-shui system), it's one of the best games I've played this year.
