A revamped of a classic rhythm platformer
BIT.TRIP RERUNNER is a premium action game that brings rhythm and platforming together in an electrifying fusion that revitalizes the classic rhythm platformer. With over 150 new levels and the introduction of the RUNNER-MAKER level editor, this game offers an extensive and engaging experience for rhythm game enthusiasts and newcomers alike.
The inclusion of the RUNNER-MAKER is a game-changer for BIT.TRIP RERUNNER as it allows players to indulge their creative side by designing their custom levels. This feature opens the door to endless beat-driven gameplay possibilities and encourages community sharing, fostering a sense of collaboration and inspiration among players.
Impressive soundtrack and nostalgic aesthetics
One of the standout features of BIT.TRIP RERUNNER is its impressive soundtrack as it features songs from all BIT.TRIP titles. You'll groove to chiptune beats from BEAT, CORE, VOID, FATE, FLUX, RUNNER, Runner2, and Runner3. With eight different tracks to enjoy, the game ensures that players have a diverse and immersive musical experience that complements the gameplay perfectly.
Visually, the game offers a nostalgic trip down memory lane with revamped 8-bit visuals that breathe new life into the retro aesthetic. It's a blast of nostalgia that will captivate both long-time fans and newcomers to the genre. However, the game isn't without its flaws. There are occasional frame rate and frame time dips, especially when navigating underground in the second act map design.
While this issue eventually resolves itself, it can be an immersion breaker. Additionally, the level creator has a steep learning curve, which might be challenging for some players. Another drawback is its performance when played with Bluetooth devices, which can cause audio delay. Lastly, the entire game demands a robust GPU, at least an NVIDIA GTX 670 or AMD R9 280, making it less accessible for players with older hardware.
Rhythmic platforming with nostalgic charm
BIT.TRIP RERUNNER is a revitalized classic that offers a captivating blend of rhythm and platforming gameplay. Its introduction of the level editor and extensive soundtrack enhance the experience, although it has its share of performance issues and a steep learning curve for level creation. If you can overlook these setbacks and have the hardware to support it, this game is a must-play for anyone seeking a rhythmic and nostalgic gaming adventure.
