For many young kids, a megastar like Ryan needs no introduction. One of the highest paid YouTube stars of all-time, he is a pretty big deal. This isn’t even his first foray into the world of Xbox; 2019’s Race with Ryan saw him and his imaginary friends take on the world of kart racing. This time around, he is focussed on platforming. Team up in Ryan’s Rescue Squad available now on Xbox, PlayStation, PC and Nintendo Switch.
Channelling a 2D platformer, Ryan’s Rescue Squad sees Ryan teaming up with a variety of Ryan’s World cast including Combo Panda, Alpha Lexa, Gus and more. Other members of Ryan’s World have been kidnapped by the evil Dark Titan and it is left to Ryan and his teammates to get them back safe and sound.
Ryan will explore worlds based around toys, pirates, space and prehistoric times on his adventure. He will need to collect Sun Coins and Surprise Eggs to unlock new items to assist him. If those Surprise Eggs sound familiar, they are the same as the real-world ones that your kids pester you for.
Ryan’s Rescue Squad also features a couple of two-players modes: Spaceship Fight and The Floor is Lava. The main game too can also be played together locally; grab a grown-up to help you through those tricky bits.
Ryan’s Rescue Squad is out now on the Xbox Store priced at £34.99. Stay tuned for our review coming soon where we will let you know whether or not it is worth it at that price.
