"Despite us making numerous comparisons to the Super Nintendo game, Pocky & Rocky: Reshrined is, for the vast majority, a completely new entry in the series. And that's worth celebrating for several reasons. Tengo Project, well aware of the original's pedigree, was smart enough to only use it as inspiration, rather than attempt to follow its lead beat-for-beat. Within this modern framework, the developer has constructed a thrilling tapestry of light, colour, and action-packed junctures for hardcore gamers to get their teeth into. Is it better than Natsume's venerable 1992 outing? No, but it's about on par, albeit for slightly different reasons. Pocky & Rocky: Reshrined is a blessing, a gorgeous-looking, delightfully artful new interpretation of a much-loved classic, and a noteworthy example of what can be achieved, creatively, with the 2D medium. If you're even mildly into the application of old-school gaming disciplines, it should be snapped up without a second thought."

About

Rocky is a boxing game that lets you take on the role of Rocky Balboa across scenarios inspired by the film series. You can replay key fights from the movies in a structured mode, facing off against escalating opponents while managing stamina and strategy in ring battles. Training sessions between fights let you adjust Rocky’s physical attributes to prepare for tougher challenges. The game supports single player runs or split-screen matches for two players, pitting friends against each other in custom bouts or tournament settings. Built around the cultural impact of Sylvester Stallone’s character, the game leans into nostalgia for the films while offering straightforward combat mechanics. Though it lacks deep customization or modern polish, fans of the Rocky movies appreciate the direct ties to the story arcs and the chance to control the "Italian Stallion" in his iconic fights. The split-screen mode remains a standout feature for local multiplayer, though the game’s 2002 release date means it hasn’t aged as smoothly as some contemporaries.
