Rocket Riot is simple arcade fun candy coated with brilliant pixel art. The destructible environments allow for some highly enjoyable chaos in both single- and multiplayer modes. Dual-stick shooters have risen in popularity in recent years, and this one has enough personality and charm to set it apart from the pack. -
Amazing fun online, seriously laugh-out-loud funny, and a definite drunken favourite. Great to see a local multiplayer mode too for people who have, y'know, real friends (Game developers seem to forget we have those). Single player is slightly lacking, though they try to throw in as much variety as possible so you can't blame them for that. Mechanics are simple yet solid, graphical style is futuristicly-retro in a good way and it's just a great pick up and play blast. If it ever drops to 400 points, then consider it… -
Channelling the spirit of the old-school shooter with a very modern feel, Rocket Riot confronts you with that age-old goal, familiar to gamers everywhere: blow stuff up.
Equipped with a rocket launcher and a jetpack in lieu of legs, you float around huge pixelated maps in order to accomplish whatever objective that particular level has in store for you... by blowing stuff up. Whether it being a set number of enemies to defeat, a certain object that needs to be destroyed, or a rugby ball that need be carried through… -
Not a big fan of it. Played it for 10 minutes and then I got really really bored. -
This game is so Fucking AWESOME! So Addictive. Play it if you enjoy Funny Action!
