I took Road Redemption for a test drive three years ago, and as if the increasingly rapid passage of time wasn't already bewildering enough, I'm fairly surprised to find how fundamentally similar the game is in 2017. The chain is mine once again.Īctually, I think I prefer the spade now. Road Redemption, a spiritual sequel Kickstarted back in 2013, has spent the past 18 months promising it's about to leave Steam Early access, and now, finally, it has. It's a motorbike racing game, but really it's about hitting people in the face with chains. This was the experience of trekking to the local games shop every school lunchtime, and paying the very obviously child-hating storekeeper 25p for a ten minute go on a Sega Mega Drive running Road Rash. THE CHAIN THE CHAIN HIT EACH OTHER WITH THE CHAIN ALL THE TIME THE CHAIN. As of right now, the campaign has pulled in around $8,000.HIT HIM WITH THE CHAIN. Road Redemption is looking for $160,000 over the next 29 days. When asked, "Why hasn't this game resurfaced?," Geisler responded that he wasn't ready, but is now and may even seek funding through Kickstarter.
It's important to note that none of the individuals involved with Road Redemption actually worked on the Road Rash series, odd considering co-designer Dan Geisler's statements on Reddit last month. A few months after launch, should the Kickstarter drive yield success, DarkSeas Games will release the source code, art assets and project files to the public for modding. The developers explain the systems will feel more satisfying because of the difficulty.
Gameplay is being "geared toward experienced players," the Kickstarter page says. Bikers can also kick other bikers into oncoming traffic because bikers are violent maniacs. Melee weapons, firearms and explosives will all be tools of the trade for bikers, with a counter and parry system at the heart of combat. As you can see in the announcement video above, the Road Rash influence is palpable. Road Redemption is a Unity-based game for PC, Mac OSX and Linux featuring a single-player story revolving around biker gangs and drug distribution routes and online multiplayer. DarkSeas Games is looking to finance a spiritual successor to Road Rash through Kickstarter.
