RUNNER is still a rhythm game: the chiptune music is still just as strong, and you jump, duck, and kick to the beat in order to progress. 4 / 5 FATE makes five Same old CommanderVideo and chic chiptune music, brand new gameplay mechanics.

BIT.TRIP RUNNER holds up pretty well for an indie game from 2010. True, its sequels have spoiled us with checkpoints and leaderboards. But this more modest entry comes at the more modest price of $4.99, making it a worthwhile purchase for fans asking for a challenge. I hope the best entry, BIT.TRIP Presents… Runner2: Future Legend of Rhythm Alien, finds its way to the Nintendo Switch soon. Review: BIT.TRIP RUNNER (Nintendo Switch) Good BIT.TRIP RUNNER holds up pretty well for an indie game from 2010.

The BIT.TRIP series took off with Runner on WiiWare, so much so that the two successive Nintendo consoles have each had a Runner sequel. And honestly, what Runner has done now is made me look forward to the Switch port of Runner 2 coming next year, because I prefer its art style and it has checkpoints. Even if they are optional. Runner’s still my favorite of the original BIT.TRIP series but if you pick up Runner you get a big discount on the other ones so it may be better to explore those instead.
