Digital Eclipse Unveils New Power Rangers Game with a Sonic Mania Vibe

Retro specialists and Volgar the Viking devs, Digital Eclipse, have just announced a nostalgic trip back to the '90s with their latest project: Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Rita's Rewind. This 90s-style 2D brawler for up to five players packs a punch with "time twisting" mechanics and mode-7-esque arcade shooter elements, all while putting its own twist on the TV show's epic mecha transformation sequences.

The announcement trailer is brimming with the same energy and excitement that Sonic Mania brought to the table. Digital Eclipse's blog post captures the essence perfectly: "Celebrate three decades of Power Rangers in a new experience that blends brawling, blasting, fighting, and driving action. Experience the origins of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers again - for the first time!" This game promises to peel away the years and immerse players in a wave of nostalgia.

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Rita's Rewind features an original storyline that both respects and remixes the beloved franchise. Players will face off against Robo-Rita, a robotic reincarnation of the iconic villain, who has teamed up with her younger self to rewind, rewrite, and remix the past. This narrative twist is the perfect setup for the game's eclectic mix of classic genres and memorable moments from the series.

Set to release on Steam in late 2024, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Rita's Rewind is sure to be a must-play for fans old and new. Time to call your friends and shout, "It's Morphin' Time!" This game is bound to reignite the excitement and camaraderie that defined many childhoods.
