Base Game - 9/10 - Retro graphics: Beautiful racing landscapes which fit the game perfectly. Only one exception - the final race is a little bit eye-searing. It's just one level out of many, so it doesn't affect otherwise excellent look. - Authentic soundtrack: 18 tracks to pick from before each race, swappable mid-run. I would be glad to see an auto-play option to cycle through them instead of switching manually every time. - Difficulty: Not hard, but not too easy either. A perfect balance for someone who enjoys racing games but isn't especially skilled at them. - Career mode: Classic climb from the bottom to become the top racer. - Time Attack mode: Race against a countdown, claiming back seconds by driving close to traffic. Achievements - 7/10 For 100%, you'll need to: - Finish career mode, get the first place in every race, buy and upgrade every car - Complete missable missions (see below) - Hit 15 checkpoints in Time Attack - this is the only achievement I found difficult and time consuming - Own 1,000,000 coins (not just earn, but own) and spend 10,000 on fuel - both look grindy but aren't. One of the races in the end pays out 100,000 per run, and fuel burns even if you just idle. Both obtainable relatively quickly. The missable missions deserve more attention. It's a strange thing to find missable content in a racing game whose whole structure is to beat every level and reach the top. I got lucky and checked the achievement list before playing, though even that didn't warn me these were missable. My habit is to treat every game content as missable by default, so I caught them all anyway without any problems. Missions show up as a shady character who gives you a secondary objective in some of the races, like collecting floppy discs on the track, or loosing a race on purpose for cash, that sort of thing. They are easy to complete, but don't look as something missable at all. If you decline one, or fail it without restarting the race, it's gone for that save. Your only fix is a new profile and a full replay. The game itself is short and genuinely enjoyable, but not something I'd want to redo purely over something I missed. Conclusion I had a lot of fun playing this game and definitely recommend it! I almost feel bad buying it at 90% off. I'd be glad to buy the soundtrack if it was ever released on Steam. Just be careful with missions if you want to get all achievements.
80's OVERDRIVE pros: //fast game with modern day graphics with easy controls that moves from location A to B to C and so on //good amount of action and special effects cons: //a lot of difficult races //the game is at master difficulty level with no difficulty options to choose from //npc opponent's facial expressions pop-up and block the view of the road //your starting car is awful and requires a lot of grind to upgrade it //npc opponents uses over-excessive rubberbanding so that you can never really get ahead in the races //npc civilians and opponents will contact-block you off the track from any direction //npc civilians will contact-block you and help npc opponents to pass you //getting contact-blocked and sent off track by npc civilians, opponents and cops usually require restarting the race //npc cop chase-cars only target you and not any other npc opponents //some races have narrow tracks or not enough lanes //a lot of narrow tracks are crowded with npc civilians and cops that will block you and become hazards making the narrow track even more narrow //npc opponents can fly past the track-turn speed ceiling and pass you on track-turns even when you are ahead //game forces only you to slow down on track-turns or crash your car but npc opponents can fly through track-turns without slowing down //awful side missions with some difficult tasks //damage repair is somewhat expensive //a lot of long races that are too long //repetitive with too many races that are the same with with minor changes like making the same races longer //locked race events //unlocking race events are a grindfest //good game Personal Suggested Purchase Price: $0.99 Or Less During Sale extra notes: //you are an 80's street racer //win races and upgrade your car //many colorful and unique scenic races with soundtracks to choose from //once you had enough of the unfair game mechanics your game is over
This game is fun in a lot of ways, but it also has huge drawbacks that hold it back. I'm a huge fan of Horizon Chase Turbo (though I never played the original 90s console racers where this style originated), and I play arcade racers a lot—but this one feels different from all of them. The visuals and music are the best parts here. The soundtrack is great, and the graphics capture the feel of a true old-school console game. The gameplay, though... feels like everything depends on luck. If you hit an obstacle or get wrecked by a police car (which sometimes you can't do anything about), you can't recover your track position, period. The whole time, you aren't really racing, overtaking, or steering; you are just avoiding hazards. Then again, if you do get past everyone, no one will be able to overtake you back, even in your most basic car. That is, unless your luck runs out again. Thumbs up, but mostly for the music. It has one of the best synthwave track sets out there.
I actually think this game is a good game based on original outrun. I'd like to see the option to define keys as the Nitro button is completely wrong, and maybe a continuous game where you trace through multiple levels one after another to make the game play a little longer. This is really access, so I can't wait to see the final release.
