How it feels

A fast-paced retro-inspired sidescroller where rocket-powered movement and precision platforming keep you constantly engaged.

What players say

Players are split on this 2010 revival. Fans of the original Rocket Knight Adventures say it lacks the creativity and energy of the Genesis game, with floaty controls, ugly art, and bland level design. A few find it a fun, short platformer that scratches the classic itch, but most agree it is not worth full price.
