Unleash Your Inner Beast in Rio Rex

Introduction

Live out your monster movie fantasies in Rio Rex, where you play as a hulking hungry lizard unleashed upon an unsuspecting city. Wreak havoc knocking down buildings, gobbling humans, and battling army resistance as you turn downtown into your own personal Jurassic playground.

How to Play

As Rio Rex, you're free to stomp through urban areas smashing anything in your path for points. Use the mouse or touch controls to move while chomping down on fleeing humans and vehicles to fill your belly.

But beware - the puny military will fight back with tanks and helicopters. Take them out before they can whittle your health down. Cause maximum destruction to unlock new playable titans and cities.

Destructible environments make the city your monster-sized jungle gym. Climb skyscrapers, topple bridges, obliterate famous landmarks - nothing can contain your kaiju rampage! Just be sure to scan for health power-ups amidst the rubble.

Key Features

• Sandbox-style city destruction where your choices shape the chaos.


• Varied titan monsters like a flying Pterodactyl or towering Robot.


• Humorous ragdoll physics when destroying tiny human civilization.


• Local couch competitive multiplayer for dino wrestling friends.


• Unlockable abilities adding strategy like healing roars or wing gusts.

Playfully Exaggerated Visuals

While Rio Rex uses 3D graphics, characters and animations feature exaggerated proportions reminiscent of cartoons and anime. Vibrant, tropical colors further set the playful tone.

Dramatic orchestral music suits the monster movie atmosphere. Chomps, crashes, panicked screams, and weapon explosions sell the cinematic action. The presentation embraces a fun B-movie tone rather than pure realism.

Development History and Reception

Created by indie studio Purple Zebra, Rio Rex first arrived on mobile in 2016 riding a wave of retro monster game nostalgia before expanding to other platforms. Its appealing sense of humor earned acclaim.

Critics praised the satisfaction of reactively causing cascading destruction across expansive cities. Reviewers noted how Rio Rex successfully modernized classic rampaging kaiju action for a new generation.
