Picture this: three delivery girls named Natsumi, Ayane, and Haruna ready to whip some serious butt while also getting your package delivered hot and fresh. Welcome to the universe of *Rapid Angel*. It's a beat 'em up where the fate of timely deliveries rests on some surprisingly vibrant characters. Prepare for gameplay that will make you question why exactly you ever wanted your pizza in under 30 minutes.
*Rapid Angel* is a side-scrolling brawler, which means you'll be sending waves of bad guys flying across the screen. Luckily, our trio of intrepid delivery people isn't just packing lunch; they all have their own unique moves that'll put street fighting legends to shame-or at least make you chuckle. There's a two-player mode, which ideally allows one player to mop the floor with minions while the other remembers to breathe and support. Failure to do so might leave you yelling, "Where's my pizza, Natsumi?!" Forget challenging the kingpin; the real boss is your friend trying to co-op while occasionally yelling out pizza toppings.
The graphics of *Rapid Angel* are like a neon fever dream. Everything is bold, colorful, and almost cheerful-except the mass smacking of gang members, which might dampen the festive vibe a bit. Characters bounce and dance around like they sketch their moves in a jolly anime. If a candy store morphed into a fighting game backdrop, it'd probably look a bit like this. Let's just say the 90s wanted their aesthetic back-and they got it, right alongside the dubious plot line that follows these delivery girls.
To sum it up, *Rapid Angel* is, well, there. It's definitely not going to make you cry like a plot twist in a serious RPG, nor will it earn you an award for strategy planning. This game is reminiscent of simpler times when all we wanted was frivolous gaming fun, sprinkled with enjoyment that's sometimes as unpredictable as a bouncy castle during an earthquake. Playing it, you might find yourself laughing harder than you'd expect, leading to an appreciation for its unintentional humor. Maybe all games don't need a complex storyline. Maybe they just need a trio of delivery girls interrupting your life with beats and packages. Overall, *Rapid Angel* earns a comfortable 5 out of 10. It's mediocre enough to keep you entertained while you wonder where your life went wrong.
