Rescue Love Revenge Demo

Westerns may not be as popular as they once were, but the genre can still be exploited with enough dedication and a few new ideas to change things around a little bit. Video games are much easier to deal with, on the other hand, because they don’t necessarily require a huge budget. Moreover, new concepts are easier to integrate as well.

Rescue Love Revenge is a jump & run platformer with spaghetti western influences and fast-paced gameplay mechanics in which you play the role of a cowboy on a mission to rescue girls from dangerous situations. The goal is to keep jumping and avoiding obstacles, which is particularly difficult in this case because the character never stops running and you have no control over his speed.

In essence, most of your time is spent jumping over gaps and carefully dealing with enemies, because there are all sorts of foes that stand in your way as well. It doesn’t take much to jump over them or perform an attack, but timing is crucial, because even the tiniest miscalculation can end up with you having to retry the level and losing your momentum.

Probably the best thing about Rescue Love Revenge is the fact that it keeps you engaged at all times, given the fact that there’s not a moment’s rest over the course of each stage. You are always jumping, dodging or attacking, which is great if you like to put your reflexes to the test. Thankfully, the controls are responsive and accurate enough to keep up with your reaction times as well.

Lastly, the graphics are designed to look retro, but they can be pretty great under the right conditions. Even if the blocky landscapes are kind of barren, the scenery can be great every now and again, depending on what part of the map you are exploring. The music is nicely integrated with the action, which makes for a decent overall atmosphere.

When it’s all said and done, Rescue Love Revenge may not be the most complex game out there, but the gameplay is actually very addictive and enjoyable. Moreover, the developers are planning on releasing multiple episodes in the near future.
