Ra Ra Boom Delivers Punch-Worthy Baddies

Sure thing, here goes:

So, Ra Ra Boom has landed on Xbox Series X|S, and honestly, it’s a whirlwind. You gotta see it to believe it. The folks at Gylee Games poured heart and possibly a bit of their sanity into this. It’s finally out there, ready for you to dive into—if you dare.

Now, Ra Ra is this groovy side-scroller where you’re just smashing everything in sight. Speaking of which, I gotta dish about some enemies you’ll encounter while you’re, you know, doing your beat-em-up thing. There are three in particular that are just wild, and somehow they’re my personal faves. Maybe it’s because I’m weirdly into enemy design—don’t ask why, because I don’t know.

Okay, first up, The Brute. Picture it: A nod to our fave roller coaster, at least the way I see it. We figured roller coaster tracks as lanes would make the arena pop off. And then—poof—a monster transforms into a coaster cart. It’s like theme park mayhem but in a game. And yes, having this beast lumbering around makes for a boss fight that keeps you guessing. It’s chaos, but it works.

Then there’s Martin. Ah, Martin. Imagine creating an enemy, throwing it out, and then fishing it back towards the end of production. Yeah, that happened. We went for a flying enemy but realized it was a nightmare to fight because, trust me, spatial awareness in beat ‘em ups is like trying to find a cat in a rave. We gave it holographic legs as a ground marker, and tada! Martin! This goofy robot toddles around like it’s figuring out life, and you can’t help but chuckle.

Bruce, though. Bruce was our hot mess of a boss. I think this fight gave everyone mild motion sickness at first, like being on a tilt-a-whirl after a burger. Fine-tuning that was a full-time job, and even then the fight felt like an endless dodge-a-thon. Until Eugene stepped in—our jittery robot sidekick, just running alongside you. Anyway, once we slowed things down, threw in cool attack phases, Bruce turned into a legendary boss fight. No joke.

And so, what are you waiting for? Go play Ra Ra Boom and pick your punching bag—I mean enemy! Which one’s your vibe? I’m curious.

Diving into Ra Ra Boom is more than just action—it’s like being hurled into a sci-fi blender. Picture future Earth, rogue AI and all that jazz. You and up to four pals? Yeah, you’re badass ninja cheerleaders. (No, for real.) And whether you love old-school side-scrollers or shooting your way through chaos, there’s a flavor for everyone.

The game’s got lanes to make combat feel like, well, a dance-off with epic combos. If math finals were like this, I’d have aced algebra—sorta. And our fab four cheerleaders? They’re not just pom-poms and smiles; they’ve got skill trees. Because saving the world needs strategy, not just sass.

Anyway, can’t wait to hear which enemy cracked you up or, let’s be real—got you obsessed.
