Players share their experience with Run Run Super 5

As the name suggests, Run Run Super V involves a lot of, well, running. You play as the red super sentai hero as he runs across the city, collecting coins (because superheroes need money for survival just like the rest of us), picking up items, avoiding obstacles, and slaying Negatron’s henchmen. Once in a while, you get to ride a jet, too, so you can collect more coins in the sky and shoot enemies.

When the game first came out on mobile, the controls were very difficult. You had to tap anywhere on the left side of the screen to jump and tap on the right side of the screen to attack. It sounds easy on paper, but it was really quite confusing in practice. Altitude Games eventually rolled out an update that let players jump by tapping anywhere on the screen. If armed, your character automatically attacks upon enemy encounter. This made the game easier and less frustrating.

Every stage gives you a set of objectives to complete to move on to the next. You’re asked to collect a certain amount of coins, run a given distance, or kill a certain number of enemies. You don’t have to worry about starting over when you die because your progress is carried over to your next attempt on the stage unless you quit. The running part of the game doesn’t really bring anything new to the genre, but what makes this game’s big payoff is that you eventually get to control your own super robot.

This is where the runner part ends and where my favorite part of the game begins. After all, when you say super sentai, there has to be a giant robot, which Altitude Games made the right call to include. At certain levels of the game, you control a giant robot equipped with five different skills of your choice. You can punch, slash, fire missiles, heal up, or put up a shield to name a few.

Right now, you can only play in single player mode, but the game is planning to add a multiplayer feature where you and your friends can team up. Each skill is assigned to one of the team members’ vehicles which make up your super robot. And although I haven’t gotten the chance to try the multiplayer feature yet, it’s does seem to be a fun way to test friendships and your internet connection.

If Run Run Super V’s audio and visuals aren’t super sentai enough, I don’t know what is. The colors are crisp and vivid with a comic book art style and interface. The audio is also nowhere close to shabby. I was playing this game with the audio turned up and someone across the room noted how it was “so sentai” just by the sound. I also like how there’s a voice that says “Run Run Super Five!” when the title screen loads.

So far, Run Run Super V is an enjoyable game. And although it’s already available in the Google Play Store, the game still has some features to add. Aside from the multiplayer feature, we’re also still waiting on the “headquarters” option and what it’s going to be about. One of the things I’m hoping they add is the option to play as someone other than Red. I’d definitely like to play as Pink or Blue, and if they have varying abilities then color me excited.
