If you’re looking for a game that’s bursting with charm, energy, and just the right amount of challenge, Ryan’s Rescue Squad on Xbox is a delightful pick. Based on the wildly popular Ryan’s World universe, this platforming adventure from Outright Games invites players of all ages to step into the shoes of Ryan or one of his friends — Combo Panda, Alpha Lexa, or Gus the Gummy Gator — and set out on a mission to save the day.
A Quest Full of Slime, Surprises, and Space Battles
The story kicks off with a classic call to action: Ryan’s friends have been kidnapped by the dastardly trio of Dark Titan, Robo Combo, and Packrat. It’s up to you to rescue them, and the journey is anything but ordinary. You’ll leap across vibrant worlds — from the toy-filled wonderland of Toys, to swashbuckling Pirates, cosmic Space, and dino-packed Prehistoric lands.
Each world is brimming with personality, and the variety keeps the adventure fresh. One moment you’re dodging slime, the next you’re piloting a spaceship in a boss battle that feels straight out of a Saturday morning cartoon.
Collect, Customize, and Conquer
Along the way, you’ll gather Sun Coins and Ryan’s Surprise Eggs, which unlock fun shop items to customize your hero. Want to sport an alien hat, gamer headset, or other quirky gear? Go for it — the customization adds a playful layer of personality to your character.
Friends Who’ve Got Your Back
You’re never alone in Ryan’s World. Beloved characters lend their unique abilities to help you out:
- Gill’s Barrels for smashing through trouble
- Moe’s Spaceship for high-flying action
- Peck’s Slime to slow down enemies
- And yes, you can even ride the giant turtle Shelldon for an extra dose of fun
These moments aren’t just gimmicks — they add variety to the gameplay and make each level feel like a mini adventure of its own.
Play Solo or Team Up
Whether you’re tackling the quest solo or teaming up in local two-player mode, the game is accessible and enjoyable for both kids and grown-ups. The inclusion of mini-games, such as Spaceship Flight and The Floor is Lava, offers quick bursts of fun between main missions, making it perfect for short play sessions or family game nights.
Final Verdict
Ryan’s Rescue Squad succeeds because it blends approachable platforming with colorful creativity. It’s easy enough for younger players to enjoy, but it still offers enough variety to keep older players engaged. The worlds are bright, the characters are endearing, and the gameplay is sprinkled with surprises that make you smile.
