  • The art direction, character design, and voice acting are outstanding, contributing to a vibrant and engaging aesthetic.
  • The combat system offers a surprising depth with both melee and ranged attacks, making it enjoyable for players who take the time to learn the mechanics.
  • The game is easy to pick up and play, making it accessible for casual gamers, while also providing replay incentives through challenges and achievements.
  • Despite having four playable characters, they all feel very similar with limited movesets, leading to repetitive gameplay.
  • The narrative is weak and the characters lack depth, making it difficult for players to become invested in the story.
  • Level design can be uninspired, with some stages relying heavily on reused content and repetitive enemy waves.
  • gameplay
    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay has been criticized for its repetitive combat and limited move sets across characters, leading to a lack of variety and inspiration in level design. While some mechanics, like the scrap shop, show potential, they ultimately feel inconsequential, and issues such as awkward physics and poor animation detract from the experience. Despite these shortcomings, the game does feature engaging special attacks and impressive visuals, though it struggles to innovate within its genre.

    • “The gameplay is engaging too--really like the special attacks.”
    • “The game mechanics might not be as tight as some of the competitors, but the visuals and music are outstanding.”
    • “The moment-to-moment combat isn't horrible, but it gets old fast with a very limited pool of useful moves shared between all of the playable characters and little to no variation in gameplay gimmicks or level design.”
    • “The breakdown for me was in both the gameplay itself, which had a number of unpleasant physics quirks (such as the 'hover' jumps that ruin attack timing), and the lack of animation in the game's cinematics, which otherwise seem to be begging for some dynamic motion.”
    • “Some of the later levels are a little less inspired gameplay-wise, boiling down to dozens of enemy waves that can get pretty repetitive.”
  • music
    9 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is generally praised for its quality and ability to enhance the overall experience, with standout tracks and a nostalgic vibe. While some reviewers noted that the soundtrack can blend together, the voice acting and genre references contribute to a fun atmosphere. Overall, the music is considered a strong point, complementing the game's visuals and engaging gameplay.

    • “Great voice acting and music, as well as genre references galore.”
    • “The soundtrack slaps, the writing has a fun Saturday-morning-cartoon vibe, and the whole thing feels fresh while also giving off a bit of retro nostalgia.”
    • “The art and music are spectacular and the game flows incredibly well.”
    • “The soundtrack is decent on its own, but every track blends in with the next apart from the main title theme.”
  • graphics
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game are widely praised for their vibrant art style and smooth character animations, contributing to an energetic and engaging visual experience. Reviewers commend the well-curated scenes and overall aesthetic, noting that the visuals stand out despite some minor gameplay mechanics issues. Overall, the graphics are considered a strong point of the game, enhancing its appeal.

    • “The game mechanics might not be as tight as some of the competitors, but the visuals and music are outstanding.”
    • “The graphics and voice acting are quite nice overall, and the music is good too.”
    • “Kudos to whoever did all the scene art graphics; I absolutely loved them and the voice actors!”
    • “For a game with such a defined aesthetic and energetic personality in its visuals, I'm not sure why they chose to go with basic and bland EDM tracks for their stages.”
    • “The art style pops, the characters are badass, and the combat feels smooth and satisfying.”
  • story
    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story in "ra ra boom" is described as engaging and enjoyable, featuring interesting characters and a unique narrative that captivates players. While beat-em-ups typically lack strong storytelling, this game stands out with its cute and compelling plot, making it a significant draw for players. However, some co-op exclusive upgrades may limit the experience for those playing solo.

    • “Normally, beat-em-ups in this style aren't known for their gripping storytelling, but interesting characters, a unique story, and a cool world were all promised ahead of release as major selling points and reasons to play.”
    • “The story is really great, and will get you hooked.”
    • “This is a really fun game with an easy to understand combat lane system and a very engaging story!”
    • “There are also upgrades that are co-op exclusive, so if you're playing through the story mode in single player, then you're out of luck there.”
  • emotional
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The emotional impact of the game is undermined by a character death that occurs early on, as players feel little attachment to the character, who is perceived as uninteresting and only briefly introduced. This diminishes the intended weight of the narrative moment.

    • “The narrative hinges on the emotional weight of a character's death that occurs very early in the game. This character, whom the player only gets to know for about 10-15 minutes before their demise, leaves a lasting impact on the story.”
    • “The game masterfully evokes a range of emotions, making players feel deeply connected to the characters and their journeys.”
    • “Moments of heartbreak and joy are woven throughout the gameplay, creating an emotional tapestry that resonates long after the game is over.”
  • character development
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    While "Ra ra boom" excels in art direction, character design, and voice acting, it is criticized for lacking depth in character development, leaving players wanting more from the narrative and character arcs.

    • “Ra ra boom really shines in art direction, character design, voice acting, and overall flair, but it really falls flat in other areas.”
  • humor
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    While the characters initially appear clever and humorous in the trailer, players find their dialogue quickly becomes repetitive and uninspired, leading to a disappointing experience that lacks genuine wit.
