90/100

Roar Rampage Classic is a glorious return to the pure, unadulterated fun of arcade destruction. Controlling a giant ape with an iron fist feels exactly as satisfying as it sounds. The physics-based engine is the star of the show here—watching a skyscraper crumble under the weight of a perfectly timed swing never gets old. It captures that 'just one more level' feeling perfectly as you move from Paris to Tokyo, facing increasingly creative military defenses.

What sets this apart from other destruction games is the sense of momentum. You can't just mash buttons; you have to time your swings and use the environment to your advantage. Tearing through a train to use as a weapon against a helicopter is a highlight. The retro-inspired visuals are crisp and the boss battles against giant mechs provide a great change of pace. It's a classic mobile title that hasn't lost any of its charm.

Dinsun Review

Dinsun. Finally, something with some actual energy. I remember Roar Rampage from years ago, and the 'Classic' version is a faithful port. It’s simple: you’re a giant dinosaur fist, and you smash things. There’s something fundamentally honest about that. No complex menus, no 'Zen' nonsense—just pure destruction.

It’s a bit repetitive, and the novelty wears off after an hour or so, but those sixty minutes are a lot more fun than anything else on this list. The pixel art is charming and the sound effects have a nice weight to them. It’s a relic of a time when mobile games were allowed to just be loud and stupid. I appreciate it for what it is, even if it hasn't aged perfectly. It’s good for a quick blast of stress relief.
