What do you get when you mix the open world epic Grand Theft Auto 3 with the gameplay (and 8-bit graphics) of NES classics such as Contra, Bionic Commando, TMNT, Mario, and etc? The answer is River City Rampage. I'll let creators VBlank Ent explain this little video game jewel after the break below.
Game Summary
The entire open-world is in danger.
THE PLAYER is out for a friendly frolic of
CRIME CAPERS when suddenly ambushed by
EVIL GOOD GUYS. They will stop at nothing to end his
RAMPAGE OF DOOM threatening the citizens of Theftropolis City. Are
YOU bad enough to defeat the
EVIL GOOD GUYS?
RETRO CITY RAMPAGE lets you play as
THE PLAYER. Take the wheel with five-finger discounts on over 30 vehicles and wield over 20 weapons that will make you say "WHOA"! Run down innocent pedestrians to hear the magnificent monophonic modulated sounds. Order a pint of "SOUR MILK" from the barkeep to make yourself sick and avoid taking responsibility for your actions. At some point, defeat the
EVIL GOOD GUYS then relax and go do it, when you want an
ICED TEA.
Wait, what...?
A parody of the open-world action genre,
Retro City Rampage takes modern game mechanics and mashes them into an authentic 8-bit experience. Equal parts fast paced arcade action and an epic mission based story mode, it's all the driving and shooting you'd expect and a whole lot more! With missions that twist pages straight from classic game experiences, you get to re-live and rewrite history in a way only a modern anti-hero could!
When it comes to enemies, weapons are only the beginning! Put on your boots and jump on their heads! Toss 'em around to knock the rest down! Become truly unstoppable with awesome power-ups! Through its world, characters and missions,
Retro City Rampage lampoons the entire 8-bit era --from its games to the TV, movies and pop culture! ...and it's downloading to your game CONSOLE ...soonish.
Day one purchase for me. No question.
