Critic Reviews
GameGrin
By Nathan SaretzkyA classic style any one could pick up and play. Easy and fun as long as you have a controller.
Worth Playing
By Brian DumlaoEven if you aren't a big fan of the instantly respawning enemies, the gameplay in Super Rad Raygun hits enough of the classic beats to make it a dead ringer for some of the titles from decades ago. The battery-swapping mechanic gives the game a little depth. The Game Boy-inspired graphical style is cute, and the rest of the presentation is absolutely solid. Super Rad Raygun is a title that's worth checking out, especially if you're a big fan of retro-style games.
Marooners' Rock
By Alex McCumbersSuper Rad Raygun is for the retro gamer seeking challenge, as its filled with nostalgic designs, sounds, and references.
Destructoid
By Peter GlagowskiMaybe a little bit of polish on the controls or some fine tuning with the difficulty curve, but Super Rad Raygun is definitely worth a playthrough. As a love letter to the Game Boy era and classic games, in general, you’d be hard pressed to find another game made with such passion and style.
