If you’re looking for a quick fix you’re more likely to want to gravitate to the straight-up arcade mode that will quickly let you choose between the missions you’re unlocked and get right down to the business of trying to get the best score. That’s not to say there aren’t a ton of things that you can do to get yourself off track though as temptations are everywhere from simply deciding to plow into a bunch of pedestrians and then try to lose the cops or by finding one of the spots that will throw you into a more arcade-like mode with an objective usually set on destruction.

Your options for play will consist of the Story Mode, where you’ll go through a series of both required and optional missions to collect pieces of a time machine (among other things) to advance the story along. There are certainly some problems you’ll need to solve and obstacles that you’ll need to focus on but if I just need to run around blowing up everything in sight it isn’t terribly strenuous, I actually find it relaxing. The action is fun but for the most part not terribly intense, with some exceptions, but I find it great to help me blow off some steam and enjoy myself. With that in mind while some titles play better on a large screen perhaps it isn’t surprising that I prefer to play River City Rampage DX in handheld mode while passively doing something else. It feels it was intended to be played shorter sessions and that would make sense with the fact that it has spent a lot of time on mobile platforms. For some this could wear a bit thin as warning, but I’d imagine most long-time gamers will find it all entertaining in bursts. Absolutely nothing is sacred, and the destruction you often cause is so silly that there’s almost no room for subtlety. While comparisons concerning its style are often made to the original Grand Theft Auto games to me the insanity of it all reminds me much more of the Saints Row series in spirit. Trying to describe the plot is a bit of a challenge since it is all quite silly and peppered with characters and bits of story borrowed from just about everything under the sun.

Thankfully if you’re down for mayhem it still delivers that in spades. The one downside, with it now on the Switch and having aged a number of years, is that those same references that were very fresh at the time can now feel a bit stale.

Chock full of references, call-outs, cameos of sorts, and absolute insanity it expends a lot of effort to keep you engaged and having fun. If you’re a fan of classic gaming or popular culture (even better if both) and somehow haven’t played Retro City Rampage DX up to this point you’ve been missing out.
