    Nostalgia based humor is without a doubt hit-or-miss, but overall a fun romp for a decent price.

    Does the job of filling that gap for the top down classic GTA urge. Story is fun, side quests are fun but the game can feel a little repetitive and tedious at times.

    A super awesome send-up of '80s video games and nerdery all in a fun 2D Grand Theft Auto- esque wrapper. [Issue #30 – November/December 2017, p. 23]

    On the Switch, in handheld mode, it plays marvelously, though I admit the chaotic action is a bit rough to follow on the smaller screens.

    This is the third time we've reviewed this game, on each occasion a more feature-packed and improved iteration. Despite its 2010 roots - and pop culture references to match that time - it stands up extremely well, as pixels this stylish and action this chaotic don't lose their edge. Retro City Rampage DX is still an anarchic, almost overloaded game that bombards the senses while, at the same time, maintaining impressive polish in its gameplay. Whether you're playing it for the crazy story, excessive retro-styled violence or a mix of both, it still has the goods.
