A Reimagined Remake
Rayman Legends Retold is a reimagined remake of Rayman Legends, first released in 2013. While it continues to have the side-scrolling platform gameplay the original game is known for, the studio made sure to rebuild the presentation using 3D visuals in the Snowdrop engine. The game supports up to four-player local cooperative play. Returning as playable characters are Rayman, Globox, Grand Minimus, and Barbara.
Other features returning in Rayman Legends Retold include the Cave of Bad Dreams and the Cave of Trials challenges. Kung Foot is back as well and brings with it revised controls, power-ups, and customizable rules. There are also a lot of new content that include new levels, four new musical stages, and a new sixth realm.
