Very overpriced SNES game for $35. I didn't think controls were as "clunky" as other reviewers said, but basic attacks are pretty limited for a 2024 game. Refunding and will probably re-buy when it's under $10.00.

This one's a recommendation with a couple of caveats:
1) You'll want to have a nostalgic attachment to Mighty Morphin Power Rangers.
2) You'll have to be okay with frankly overpaying a bit (or waiting for a sale), which I was due to point 1.

I'm not usually one to complain about the price points of indie style games: not when it's a digital purchase of a €20-25 retro platformer, and not when I splurge for a physical copy of something like Sea of Stars, UNSIGHTED or Tunic. But as much as I enjoyed the couch co-op that left us playing this game until 1 AM, it's hard not to compare it to Shredder's Revenge... which just had better content density, a longer-feeling campaign, more interesting combat, and a lower price point.

I'm here for Rita's Rewind, though. It came at a good time, and it does a good job building on its predecessors on the SNES and Mega Drive. The regular, side-scrolling stages or mostly solid and often feel like overt references to early Power Rangers episodes, and the Megazord battles were actually a really interesting multiplayer experience as we cheered each other on (and occasionally gloated) as the Zord controls shifted from one player to another.

The Dinozord race tracks were a bit more trouble, though, as they were extremely visually busy, and the motorcycle stages were several times worse due to it also being so difficult to distinguish the Rangers from each other. The laser attacks really should be color coded to make it easier to keep track of where you are, and the colors of crosshairs could stand to also be more pronounced.

What I'd like to see in future updates:
- The Rangers fighting in their civilian outfits for a bit, similar to the first SNES MMPR game.
- Being able to actually use the Rangers' weapons, so they can have more distinct fighting styles.
- Just... more levels. More of those iconic, big-moment monsters.
- The longest of shots: I'd like to be able to override the music in the game and plug in some classic Ron Wasserman stuff.

It's fun but flawed, and gotta give props for the quality of the Go Go Power Rangers cover.

Great fun. I play with my two sons and wife. :)
