Roar Rampage returns in its classic form for iOS, and for the first time on Android, bringing the joy of city destruction to a wider audience. There's a timeless appeal to watching a city crumble, perhaps as a nod to Soren Kierkegaard's concept of the temptation of the abyss, or simply because, as Michael Bay might say, we love seeing things get blown up. In Roar Rampage, it's just you, your scaly brawn, and a giant boxing glove, turning the world into your punching bag in this welcome return of a classic.
Embodying the power fantasy of a super-dangerous kaiju, Roar Rampage lets you stomp around and obliterate everything in your path. You'll face military opposition trying to halt your rampage at every turn. The key to survival lies in precise timing, allowing you to knock projectiles and enemies out of the sky or demolish buildings before they harm you. With your massive size, dodging isn't an option, so mastering your attacks is crucial.
Roar Rampage prides itself on its engaging soundtrack and a diverse collection of unlockable skins, many of which draw inspiration from iconic kaiju like Mechagodzilla. However, the game's biggest allure lies in its simplicity, reminiscent of the smash hits from the Flash game era. This simplicity makes it universally appealing and easy to jump into.
Developed by the team behind Shovel Pirate and Slime Labs, Roar Rampage promises enjoyment even for those skeptical about the thrill of destruction. Keep an eye out for its release on April 3rd.
