Digital Eclipse has just rolled out an exciting new update for their game, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Rita’s Rewind. The 1.0.4 update brings some key enhancements that gamers are sure to appreciate. Notably, it tweaks movement and attack speeds, making for a more fluid gaming experience. Plus, it introduces several other changes aimed at refining gameplay mechanics and boosting performance across the board.
Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Rita’s Rewind, an action-packed beat ’em up inspired by retro games, hit the shelves on December 10, with versions available for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC. The game looks back to the origins of the Power Rangers, echoing the early seasons of the beloved TV show. With side-scrolling action, thrilling vehicle segments, and intense first-person Megazord battles, this game offers a nostalgic trip with its eye-catching sprite art and heart-pumping soundtrack.
Taking this new update into account, a particular focus has been placed on player movement. Rangers are now more agile on their feet, ensuring transitioning between walking, dashing, and combat is smoother. Improvements have also been made to grabbing mechanics and attack speeds. With no cooldown on the Dodge move, players can maneuver more freely during battles—though it’s worth noting that invulnerability is now limited to only the initial frames. However, in Easy mode, players maintain full invulnerability. Additional enhancements include the ability to chain Rising Strikes more effectively and drop foes mid-grab using the Dodge move.
Enemies also see a host of changes. Time Disruptors are easier to take down, especially so in Easy mode. If you’re working on finishing Rita’s Rewind objectives, you’ll be glad to know that food pickups are more evenly distributed. Hard mode has been balanced to match enemy health found in Normal mode, but beware, as their damage output is significantly higher.
In terms of Zord and Megazord gameplay, the update ensures that players face less risk of losing a life from falling into pits. Machine gun fire from various enemy structures now inflicts less damage, and the selection of additional ledges makes navigating pits easier. Plus, boss battles now dynamically adjust their difficulty based on the number of players, and Megazord health power-ups are available, helping to level the playing field.
For those diving into the online mode, players can start from any stage if they’ve unlocked Rita’s Rewind Green Ranger. However, remember that matchmaking functions smoothly only if all participants have installed the latest update.
Besides these gameplay adjustments, the update delivers improved stability and performance across the game, making the overall experience more cohesive. As Digital Eclipse continues to polish this fan-favorite title, old-school beat ’em up aficionados have every reason to jump back in and enjoy these new enhancements.
