Gameplay

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Rita's Rewind is an action-adventure side-scrolling video game with occasional on-rails segments. The gameplay features a mix of combat, puzzle-solving, and exploration across iconic locations from the franchise. Players can switch between different Rangers, each with unique abilities, to tackle challenges and enemies. [2]

Plot

The Power Rangers face off against a robotic reincarnation of the Power Rangers' long-time nemesis, Rita Repulsa. Robo-Rita, who hails from the distant future, has conjured a portal to send herself back in time so she can finally vanquish the Power Rangers by forming an alliance with her original self. Working together, Robo-Rita and Rita Repulsa aim to rewind, rewrite, and remix the past in an attempt to stop the very formation of the Power Rangers; altering the course of history. It's up to the Rangers to counter this catastrophic chronological collaboration, all while dealing with the two Ritas and their assorted army of monstrous enemies from across the MMPR timeline.
