- Retro City Rampage DX is an old-school racing and shooting arcade game that draws heavy inspiration from the famous Grand Theft Auto series. It features lots of pixelated violence, energetic 8-bit soundtracks, hectic action, and tons of references to movies and video games of the past.
Alex Sem · Aug 05, 2022 Reviewed on iOSRead full review - Gameplay wise, you’ll be hard-pressed to run out of things to do in RCR. Not only is there a free roam mode right off the bat, but the New Game+ is crazy and off the wall too. We’re talking dozens of hours of gaming here, and if you’ve never played RCR before, probably even more. I don’t hesitate when I say that Retro City Rampage is a must play for any retro-gaming fan, open world fan, or Nintendo gamer.
William Murphy · Sep 13, 2017 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - 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.
Thomas Whitehead · Sep 06, 2017 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - Retro City Rampage DX is a hugely entertaining journey into a retro world full of parody. With solid gameplay and great visuals, this is one game not to miss.
Jemma Casson · Aug 25, 2017 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - While Retro City Rampage DX’s story was somewhat short, its time on my Switch will not be. I still have plenty of side missions and collectables to grab, or I might just run down some pedestrians while riding the train. I love this game. And I think it loves me, too.
Adam Abou-Nasr · Aug 08, 2017 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - But this is a game that will really click with some people, and its more compact nature compared to the expansive Grand Theft Auto games might be more your speed for open-world carnage. I still have some misgivings, but it's overall a solid package.
Carter Dotson · Apr 11, 2016 Reviewed on iOSRead full review - Retro City Rampage DX delivers a truly deluxe and engaging iOS experience that is a must have.
Trevor Sheridan · Mar 30, 2016 Reviewed on iOS - If you’ve never played Retro City Rampage (DX or otherwise), this is as good a place as any to start. Heck, if you already have it on a computer or console it’s not a bad get either, since you’ll be able to enjoy all the goofy anarchy on the go.
Rob Rich · Mar 14, 2016 Reviewed on iOSRead full review - The amazing thing about the world of RCRDX is that all of the references made are overt and recognizable, yet blends into the background so easily. Witty throwback Zero Wing reference and almost-Little Mac's trailer on a billboard? Running people over with generic replicas of the Turtle Van or a Vespa scooter, then abusing the Mariachi just to take his guitar for some pitch-perfect head wounds? If you’re an old-schooler who needs a retro fix, there are very few games that can fit the bill better than Retro City Rampage DX.
Kevin Schaller · Dec 05, 2014 Reviewed on PS3, VitaRead full review - The definitive version of Retro City Rampage, Retro City Rampage DX takes everything that made the original game fun and improves upon the areas that made it not so fun. With a lot to do and so many pop culture references to spot, this is a game that deserves to be taken (yet doesn't take itself) seriously!
