About

Super Rude Bear Resurrection is an ultra-tight, masocore platformer that anyone can beat! Every time you die, your previous corpses stack up and you can jump on them, push them around and use them as platforms or meatshields. Each death makes the game slightly easier, but it's possible to beat the whole game without dying at all!

Super Rude Bear Resurrection is a triumph in game design. It manages to make a highly difficult game of skill become playable to a wider audience without having to ease up on the challenge any. Making a player’s death, and thus what would normally be their mistakes, into a mechanic is pure genius, and results in one of the coolest games I’ve played.

In spite of its flaws in the closing hours, I knew that the brilliant game I’d started out with was still in there. This is something for everyone to try, whether you’ve beaten every Mega Man or didn’t complete the first level of Super Mario Land. Alex Rose Games has made a brilliant title here, and I sincerely hope it gets the success and attention it so rightly deserves for being an accessible and unique platformer with so much to offer.

Super Rude Bear Resurrection is one of the few games in which failure is part of the fun, and part of your success as the player. You’re meant to die, you’re meant to fail, as each failure can bring you closer to victory. It’s a game that requires skill and patience, but it’s also so ridiculous it doesn’t make you feel bad with repeated failure. It’s the most fun I’ve had sucking at a game since I first picked up a controller.

On the strength of its pacing and basic mechanics alone, Super Rude Bear Resurrection would make for an extremely engaging platformer. The addition of its corpse mechanic elevates it to something greater, allowing it to simultaneously serve as an extreme challenge for the most diehard platforming fans as well as a game that can be enjoyed by the novice crowd. Super Rude Bear Resurrection demands a lot from you, but the satisfaction of success is immense in the end.

So while it might seem easy to write Super Rude Bear Resurrection off as a 2D platformer that solely wants to make players die a shitload of time, that's hardly fair. Instead, it's much better to look at it as a game that encourages creativity and persistence. There's always a way forward or a secret exit down a hidden path. All you have to do is take a deep breath, keep trying, and maybe die more times than you care to admit.

All in all, I think I enjoyed Rude Bear for about 20 to 30 minutes. It was all downhill from there. The gameplay quickly became tedious. If you enjoy indie console games then the chances are you already own far better games than this one. There were some admirable elements such as the graphics and attention to detail in the options, but you’d be better off saving your money on this occasion.
