The Rugrats are one of the most beloved iconic characters of the 90s with a classic game design. Rugrats Adventure in Gameland is out today and whether you grew up watching the antics of Tommy, Chucky and the kids or you’re just a fan of classic games, this game promises to hit you right in the heart.

Like the original series, Rugrats Adventure in Gameland is inspired by the power of imagination. The plot revolves around kids transforming their surroundings into fantastical video game levels after seeing an ad for a new Reptar game. In typical Rugrats fashion, the ordinary becomes magical. The attic is a haunted house, the kitchen refrigerator is a high-tech lab full of electricity and sparks, and the sandpit is a dangerous desert filled with traps and pitfalls. This fantasy setting truly captures the spirit of the show for its fans. It’s like a trip down memory lane after seeing familiar environments but reimagined through the eyes of Rugrats.

When it comes to gameplay, if you’ve played classic platforming titles from the NES and SNES era, you’ll feel right at home here. The game features four playable characters, Tommy Pickles, Chucky Finster, and twins Phil and Lil. Each character has their own unique abilities, adding a tactical element to how you approach different parts of the game.

Tommy, the fearless leader, feels like the most traditional platforming hero, with Mario-like all-round abilities. Lil can hover a bit, much like Princess Peach, allowing for better jump control. Chucky, the scaredy-cat, has a longer jump range, like Luigi, which is great for jumping to distant platforms. Phil has a higher jump, which can be useful for getting over some obstacles. This variety adds spice and exploration.

Speaking of exploration, each level has two main objectives: collect scattered Reptar coins and find the screwdriver that unlocks the door leading to the boss battle. The stages are well-designed, balancing exploration and platforming challenges. You often have to switch between Rugrats characters to take advantage of their abilities.

The color palette, environments, and character animations are all faithful to the Rugrats universe. What’s really impressive is the game’s ability to switch between modern HD graphics and 8-bit mode at the push of a button. You can turn the game into an NES-style platformer, complete with sprite flashing effects and classic chiptune music. This 8-bit mode is more than just a game, and it does it very well.

The music is also outstanding, with both modernized tunes and chiptune versions of the same tracks. You can even mix and match the sound and graphics, playing 8-bit music with HD graphics or vice versa, if you prefer.

The game’s boss battles offer a significant change. Here, you’ll need to use the environment and character abilities to take down some familiar faces from the series. While the battles won’t blow you away, they’re satisfying enough and add variety to the platforming gameplay.

If you’re a fan of the original cartoon, Rugrats: Adventures in Gameland is a great game to try. The game does a great job of capturing the heart and humor of the series while delivering a platforming experience that’s both streamlined and fun.
