Next Girl-Led Beat 'Em Up Title RA RA BOOM Announced

Get ready to pummel robots and reclaim earth from AI as ninja cheerleaders from outer space in this new cooperative game from Gylee Games. Essentially, Ra Ra Boom is an eye-catching, distinctive fast-paced four-player beat ‘em up driven by a meaningful and emotional coming-of-age narrative about a group of ninja cheerleaders from space in a fight to save the rest of humanity on Earth.

In their reveal trailer, we get to meet the team and watch them launch into action. Each member of the diverse cast of playable characters - Aris, Saida, Ren, and Vee - sports their own weapons and abilities, giving players four different, unique takes on combat. Play fast and loose as Aris with her scythe or bring the pain as Vee, who wields a shield and machine gun. Any way you play, you and your teammates will be dismantling the robotic opposition.  

While there is still much to learn about the game, including details on the narrative-driving story, it seems this title augments traditional beat 'em up gameplay with its unique integrated lane system. Integrating horizontal lanes naturally into the hand-drawn environments, you’ll be able to tell which enemy you’re targeting with a flurry of furious blows. With the ability to quickly switch between lanes, you can strategically target multiple opponents, racking up massive combos any true beat-’em-up fan can enjoy.

Ra Ra Boom doesn’t have a release date yet, but it is currently planned to launch on PC via Steam. What are your initial thoughts on this new game announcement?
