So, there’s this game, Ra Ra Boom, right? It’s hitting Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One, and yeah, also PC this summer. Honestly, there’s something about beat ’em ups making a comeback right now. Like, seriously, I think the last time I was this hyped was when Castle Crashers? Remember that? Not sure why it’s all happening now, but hey, I’m not complaining.

Anyway, Ra Ra Boom is definitely one you might wanna check out if you’re into these games. It’s got this wild setup: picture this — ninja space cheerleaders taking on rogue AI. Yeah, exactly.

Oh, and the characters? There’s four of ’em: Aris, Ren, Vee, and Saida. Each has their quirks. You’ve got the leader, blade, shield, and a cyborg. It’s like a Saturday morning cartoon, but in game form. Plus, there’s Zoi, this AI gone bonkers. They’ve gotta stop it — because who else, right?

Now, the twist here? It’s this mash-up of beat ‘em up meets shoot ’em up. I mean, usually, you think it’s all about fists and kicks, but nah, these gals are loaded. Literal pom-poms are nowhere to be seen in the heat of the moment. It’s kinda refreshing if you’re bored of the same old melee routine.

And about the gameplay, like, you can stay close and personal or go full-on ranged attack. They’ve got this unlimited ammo thing going on, which feels sorta empowering if I’m honest. You mix it up, find your groove. It’s like dancing, but with more… uh, explosions? Probably not the right analogy.

Oh, and remember those awkward moments in games where you’re like, “Did I hit them or did they hit me?” Ra Ra Boom tries to clear that up. They color-coded the lanes or something. It’s supposed to help, and I guess it does. Mostly.

The story’s got a voice too. I mean, literally. Fully voiced, which adds a bit of life, right? You listen to these characters quip back and forth and somehow, they become more real.

Now, let’s get down to business. When’s it out? This summer. Exact date? Nope, still a mystery. But you can wishlist it, so you’re looped in when they finally decide to spill the beans.

So yeah, grab your control and maybe brace for some chaotic fun with those ninja cheerleaders. ‘Cause, you know, why not?
