    147 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay of "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Rita's Rewind" has received mixed reviews, with many players appreciating its nostalgic appeal and variety in mechanics, including beat 'em up, shooting, and driving sequences. However, criticisms highlight issues such as sluggish controls, repetitive combat, and a lack of depth compared to other modern beat 'em ups like "Shredder's Revenge" and "Streets of Rage 4." While some enjoy the simple and accessible gameplay, others find it lacking in polish and innovation, making it a less compelling choice for those seeking a robust gaming experience.

    • “The gameplay is fast and the visuals are fantastic, and while I’m not a Power Rangers fan, I can really appreciate the care, detail, and fan service packed into every level.”
    • “The gameplay is easy to pick up, with combos and power-ups keeping combat engaging, while the addition of arcade-style shooting and driving sequences adds exciting diversity to the action.”
    • “Its combination of satisfying brawler gameplay, nostalgic visuals, and a time-twisting storyline makes for an engaging and action-packed experience.”
    • “The gameplay loop became repetitive with the same structure (no spoilers).”
    • “Unfortunately, the core gameplay is not up to snuff.”
    • “Once the nostalgia dies down, and there's plenty of nostalgic love put into it, the gameplay is really lacking.”
  • music
    99 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game has received mixed reviews, with many praising its nostalgic 90s vibe and energetic tracks that enhance the gameplay experience.

Overall, the music is generally seen as a highlight, contributing positively to the game's presentation despite some technical limitations in sound settings.

    • “The soundtrack is fantastic, it fits very well in the era it's evoking, and it kind of reminds me of Mega Man X.”
    • “The soundtrack hits all the right notes, blending iconic Power Rangers themes with energetic new tracks that amplify the intensity of the action.”
    • “The music is awesome, the sprite-work is a treat for the eyes, and it wears its 90's camp proudly on its sleeve.”
    • “The music could have been better.”
    • “This game lacks the basic stuff like sound options; yes, you can't turn down the SFX or general sound, only the music, and I wanted to turn the music up, not down because you can barely hear it.”
    • “Unfortunately, the music is about all I'll remember about this game.”
  • graphics
    78 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game have received widespread praise for their vibrant, retro-inspired pixel art that effectively captures the essence of the original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers series. Many reviewers highlighted the attention to detail, the nostalgic aesthetic, and the incorporation of modern visual effects, such as CRT filters, which enhance the overall presentation. However, some critiques noted that while the visuals are impressive, they may not compensate for gameplay shortcomings, leaving a mixed impression on the overall experience.

    • “The hand-drawn pixel art is a love letter to ‘90s gaming, perfectly capturing the aesthetic of the original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers series.”
    • “The retro-inspired visuals strike the perfect balance between authenticity and modern polish.”
    • “The art style is awesome; it's bright, colorful, and looks just like the show but in pixel form.”
    • “Just another junk Power Rangers game that had tons of potential, but didn't deliver on anything other than the art style.”
    • “In the end, there was so much they could have done. Even the look of the Rangers looks better for the Super NES than this one. The sprites in this game are rushed while the Super NES ones were cool looking. All in all, I was hoping for a game that was going to show mad love to the Power Rangers, but instead got a rushed job. It's a shame for a game like this to be rushed; this should have been the best Power Rangers beat-em-up, but sadly no.”
    • “Visuals are okay, but everything else seems like it was developed with the bare minimum.”
  • story
    70 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    • “Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Rita’s Rewind takes fans on a time-warping adventure, combining classic brawler gameplay with a storyline that rewrites the beloved series’ origins.”
    • “Basically played the story mode once and never touched it again. I did not 100% the game, but who wants to run the same stage over and over again just to find a hidden secret or get the no-death achievement?”
    • “The story is pointless.”
    • “The game's story is so compressed that Robo Rita's presence in the past makes the villains less competent than Rita was in the TV show the first time around.”
  • replayability
    17 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, the game's replayability is largely criticized, with many players noting that all rangers play similarly, leading to a lack of incentive to replay after completing the main story. While some mention the potential for achievements and multiplayer modes to enhance replay value, the general consensus is that the game offers minimal replayability, especially given its price point. A few players express hope for future updates or DLC to improve this aspect, but currently, it remains a significant drawback.

    • “All of my listed playtime has been exclusively troubleshooting.”
    • “However, at this time with the only time I've put in, its save feature is non-existent and/or buggy, and my brother and I lost almost 2 hours worth of progress and had to start over after network errors crashed our game.”
  • grinding
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
