Okinawa Rush is a fun arcade experience that made us think back to all of our favorite action-packed games on the SNES. This title managed to entertain us from start to finish, and it never felt particularly unfair when we had to try certain stages over and over again.

Critic reviews
- 8.2The game contains a nice variety of content overall, but I think featuring only five main levels is a little slim; however, I did have fun during my time with the game. If you have a local co-op partner then this game should definitely be on your radar. If you prefer to play solo then this could appeal to you, if you like challenging retro-fueled experiences.
- Okinawa Rush attracted me the moment I played it and dragged me in with its visceral, fast paced powerful battles. You won’t find a developed story or a stellar soundtrack, but sound design in combat is top tier, with each hit feeling like it’s forceful enough to crush skulls. If a dark, gruesome brawler that empowers you to be a badass is what you’re itching for, then Okinawa Rush is just the right scratch for you.
- All in all, Okinawa Rush is a fun game. It relies on reminiscing of the past but does it well. The story and level design leave much to be desired. But, the nonstop fighting action paired with the upbeat music makes this the type of game where you can be locked in and hours have passed without you realizing it.
- Okinawa Rush blends rewarding action gameplay with rich and detailed graphics to worthy effect. The gorgeous pixel art breathes life into a vibrant world with plenty of hidden content that will have you rushing through again and again.
- Okinawa Rush is one nails-hard game. Once you have met the conditions in story mode, there is an Arcade option to try which introduces a timer. On both modes you are given a rank at the end of each stage based upon your performance, but doing it all against the clock lends it an even more compulsive, anxiety-riddled edge. It feels like playing two distinctly different games.
