Mighty Morphin Power Rangers:麗塔的倒帶評論(PC)

Since tales about quantum realms and alternate realities are all the rage these days, let me start this review by revealing my own hidden history.很久以前,我是 Mighty Morphin Power Rangers 的超級粉絲。我看了演出,收集了玩具,當我看到第一部真人電影時,我幾乎失去了理智。 Then, the whole teenage years hit hard, and for a while, I forgot about my multicolored heroes, though they remained hidden deep in my subconscious.

Cue me demoing Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Rita’s Rewind at PAX West when my suppressed fandom came rushing back to me. Not only is this a game that’s faithful to the classic series, but it’s a tribute to the arcade games of the ’90s that Power Rangers inexplicably never got.直到今天,就是這樣。 Rita’s Rewind is a hell of a good time, and even with some small oversights, it’s still an adventure any fan of arcade games and the Power Rangers series is sure to enjoy.

這個故事是關於機器人麗塔的,她是麗塔變好的時候發生的事情,她的巫術力量被封裝在一個狡猾的機器人中。她厭倦了與堅持不懈的英雄作鬥爭,所以她做了一個惡棍能做的最合理的事情。她回到過去擊敗了恐龍戰隊,當時他們還年輕,未經考驗,對未來一無所知。更糟糕的是,她在改變主意之前就與麗塔合作,相信這對搭檔對我們的英雄來說是難以對付的。

As for how they play, you can string combos of melee attacks together (there are no heavy attacks), and there’s a real flexibility to the combat I enjoyed.你可以很輕鬆地與敵人打交道,將他們上勾拳打到空中,把他們踢開,像布娃娃一樣猛沖和扔來扔去。 That isn’t to say they’re all pushovers;就連油灰也可以是一把,其種類之多令人震驚。

還有亂七八糟的飛行天河戰士和形形色色的惡毒boss。您將很快學會如何依靠遊戲的多功能躲避動作。 As you’re making your way through levels, it also pays to keep a weather eye for healing items, temporary speed power-ups, Ranger coins to charge your screen-clearing special attack, and some well-hidden secrets.

我真的很喜歡游戲的流程,它分為幾個章節,每個章節都包含多個不同的級別。 There are standard, side-scrolling beat ’em up levels, ones where you ride around on a motorbike or Zord, and big rock ’em sock ’em battles inside the Megazord. The vehicular levels play a lot like vertically scrolling Shmups, though you do have to keep in mind that sometimes the game requires you to navigate narrow paths and jump over gaps.

你還必須移動光標,炸飛機器人敵人和駕駛汽車的油灰流氓。 As for the Megazord battles, those are less about mindless button mashing and more about learning and evading attack patterns, using your own attacks to charge up your meter to unleash a devastating final attack.正如我在與 Eye Guy 的一場特別激烈的比賽中了解到的那樣,你實際上無法通過暴力破解它們。

There’s even some nifty but simple in-game arcade machines you can play in the HUB area of the Angel Grove Youth Center (when you aren’t trading quips with Bulk and Skull).如果你對自己的能力有信心,還有一些難度,包括普通、困難和頭痛。 And once you beat the game once, you’ll unlock Kimberly’s favorite heartthrob, Tommy the Green Ranger!
