I had a blast with Retro Revengers and wish more platformers featured a wide variety of characters with matching clever stage designs.

I just wish there was more game here in general, but what you do get here is rock-solid platforming action. Hopefully the Retro Revengers make another comeback so we can see more of what crazy things they could do a throwback to!

A brief but fairly enjoyable platformer that doesn't mind poking fun at the current state of gaming.

The best way to sum this up: Retro Revengers was clearly not QA’ed for the fun factor. It’s a generic irritating platformer with questionable level design and iffy controls. While it’s a nice touch to have a variety of unique skills, it also means they don’t control all the same; some feel floaty, others feel like they have cement filled boots. There are many more better platformers available on Xbox Marketplace; so unless you’ve played them all or want to experience this out of curiosity, don’t bother.
