  Rusty Spout Rescue Adventure is an attractive looking game that’s taken a timeless formula and added quality-of-life options. I feared this would be a game I’d suggest passing on, but it’s now turned into a recommendation for fans of this game style. While not every choice is to its advantage, $6.99 gets you a fun story mode, multiplayer, an endless mode, and more.

  Given that the original Puzzle Bobble is readily available on PS4 and Switch, we can’t see any reason why you should spend your hard-earned money on Rusty Spout Rescue Adventure. The story suffers from poor characterization and bad pacing and is unrelated to the gameplay. The in-game text is riddled with errors and poor explanations and the gameplay is bland. We’re not sure whether or not the game would’ve been worth it if it had received a decent amount of polish, but as it stands, we’d make old Rusty Spout walk the plank.

  There’s really not much to say beyond this though. If you like this style of game then Rusty Spout will fill that need well. The audio got old pretty quickly, but can be turned off; otherwise, it’s a solid little arcade title that brings a classic game along with a quirky tale to modern players.

  A charming bubble popping puzzle games that replicates most of what worked back in the 90’s, Rusty Spout Rescue Adventure is a fun if limited game. There’s nothing wrong with emulating the classics but when a game does this without bringing anything new to the table, it’s hard to see it as anything but inessential.

  So, a word or two of recommendation, and if you’re after a Puzzle Bobbler, Rusty Spout Rescue Adventure on the Xbox One will give you the bubble-hit you need at a budget price, but only if you’re after a simple, colourful two-player local experience. In almost every other way it misses the mark, with a grindy and punishing campaign, a lack of online multiplayer and only two-player couch-play.
