According to the developers, the main goal behind Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Rita’s Rewind was to make the proper high-energy, bombastic arcade-style beat-em-up that the series never got. True to their word, playing MMPR: Rita’s Rewind feels like a throwback to’ 90s-style fast-paced brawler action that puts it alongside genre siblings like Streets of Rage and the best Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles clobberfests.

Made in the same style as the ‘90s nostalgia-tuned TMNT: Shredder’s Revenge—which is a good thing—Rita’s Rewind is a fun tribute to the original series that not only tosses in deep cuts, but so far looks to be a pretty solid beat-em-up in its own right. Each member of the OG crew feels unique and possesses their own moves, and it was really thrilling seeing all the action unfold. Along with planned missions focusing on giant robot and kaiju battles presented in SNES-style Mode 7 visuals, MMPR: Rita’s Rewind looks to not only show the greatest hits of the series but also offer a fun dive back to a classic era of gaming.
