Ra Ra BOOM

Earth is already losing the fight when four extraterrestrial high schoolers decide to take matters into their own hands. Ra Ra BOOM delivers a bright, energetic side-scrolling brawler where rogue machines tear through a fractured planet and attitude matters as much as firepower. Its cartoon-styled apocalypse trades grim desperation for neon color, quick jokes, and the satisfying chaos of sending robots flying across the screen. The setup is deliberately arcade-like: pick a heroine, clear the trouble in front of you, and keep the momentum rolling.

Players choose between Aris, Saida, Ren, and Vee, then battle through nine levels packed with mechanical enemies. Combat centers on accessible brawling, letting you jump in quickly with melee attacks and each character’s distinct abilities while managing crowds and keeping pressure on tougher foes. Defeated robots drop Scrap, which becomes the backbone of progression: spend it on stat improvements or unlock new skills that make later encounters more explosive. Solo play works well for a relaxed run, but the real appeal is four-player local co-op, with Remote Play Together support helping distant friends join the action.

What separates Ra Ra BOOM from a purely button-mashing throwback is its light customization layer, giving players meaningful ways to shape their chosen hero without burying the fun under complicated systems. The colorful stages and youthfully rebellious cast give it more personality than the average retro-inspired beat ’em up, while its short-form level structure makes it easy to play in a single sitting or return to with a group. Expect the immediate, crowd-clearing pleasure of classics such as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge rather than a deep combat lab or sprawling campaign. It suits newcomers who want a friendly co-op brawler, while arcade veterans should appreciate a fast, polished excuse to chase higher-powered robot-smashing runs.
