Road Redemption

Road Redemption is spiritual successor of classic vehicular combat from 16-bit era and its sequels, Road Rash series. The game was fun, because you can race and fight enemies at the same time. There was some melee weapon like machete, sword, sledgehammer or range weapon like gun, machine gun and bazooka. You can kill all competitor while in race and ride to finish line or be killed by them.
Despite all the fun, this game was very hard in your first five to ten hours. Because of rouge-like element of this game. If you dead while in the middle of the race, you start over. If you dead at final boss, you start from beginning and lost all progress but earn some XP to get permanent upgrade, unlockable item or buff.
And after familiar with gameplay and get good in learning curve, this game become more challenging to win with each character that had pro or cons in each of them. Some character was very hard to play, because had low hp and can get kill by one hit. There was a character that you must use nitro non stop or the character hp will drop if he not fast enough. There was a character that can used melee weapon, and gun only. And the list was so on.
Mastering each character will be good if player already get good with basic gameplay in this rouge-like campaign racing. Maintenance money to buy item in store after race were need calculation and plan with risk in next race. And yeah, this rouge-like element feature can be love or hate by player. One thing that I didn't like in this game was physics, I almost get easy to get off track and stuck at object and there is no reset position button because you must press ESC in keyboard and pick "put me on the track" from menu. It was so easily to get stuck to an object when off track from main road even if stuck behind destroyed car in the middle of the road, it need reverse and steer left or right to avoid it.
Well, there is so many pro and cons about this game. But, I prefer pick the pro ones because it was so fun.

This game is very similar to Road Rash of Mega Drive. Now with good graphics, musics and fights. The only bad thing is having to start all over again when you die.
Would be great if it had a save and load function. Anyway, i bought it at 80% off and i liked it.

Is it a perfect recreation of Road Rash? No. Does it do 80% of what Road Rash did with it's own flavor? Definitely. Do you see anyone else giving tribute to the old Road Rash games? This game is a labor of love that deserves your support.
I still have my Road Rash II cartridge in the basement. My kids don't even care. Buy this game.

this game is similar to road rash from the ps1, but it has a more rogue style gameplay which i enjoy, ive had this game in my library since it released in EA, and seeing all the updates has been really cool, i do feel the heart being put into this project, and it is by no means a perfect game, but for the price it is a fun and lovely experience.

Campaign is mediocre at best.Weapons are quite interesting
The online section is not good at all
The price of the game is cheap and fair
It was not like road rash at all
5/10

Pros:
- Great gameplay, the kills are very satisfying
- Amazing soundtrack
Cons:
- Short
- Graphics are lacking
- The pyhsics needs work
- Rooftop races are ridiculous
Summary:
Desptie it's flaws it's absolutely worth buying especially if it's on sale.

You can find many things to criticize about Road Redemption. Maybe it's not the sequel to the game you wanted it to be. Maybe it's not pretty, or even bug-free. Maybe the gameplay is repetitive. One thing's for sure, though : It's fun.
Not a racing game by any means, Road redemption puts you on a bike, gives you blunt and sharp weapons (You'll find explosives and guns on the road) and sends you after a bounty carried by a bad guy. Nothing subtle here.
From what I understand, it wasn't the case before but the game is now a roguelike with permanent upgrades you pick at the end of your run. The progression is poorly balanced and too slow at first, but you can definitely beat the game on your first run, should you know what you're doing. That means there's a real sense of personal progression, which is something I didn't expect.
The concept remains the same for the 20 levels of a run. You start at the back of the race, gain boost by beating up other riders friendly enough to come by your side, and use that boost to reach opponents farther ahead. It's simple and yet, very entertaining since there is more to it than initially meets the eye. You have to switch weapons to adapt to the enemy, time your strikes, dodge, block incoming hits, kick riders away from you, watch the road... Mutlitasking at its finest !
The game looks dated, no doubt about it. But again, you won't be looking at the scenery or even the road much with how intense the situation can get. You'll quickly learn, especially on higher difficulties, that if Timmy, on your right, is hitting you with his hammer and his buddy Kevin is charging his mace on the left, you're better off disengaging by braking and trying another approach.
You'll also have to "tame" the sometimes sketchy physics, especially on landing, but they're not a deal breaker. And as with the rest of the game, you will learn, and make do. Once you do, even the challenges that seemed impossible or out of your league at first will look at lot more reasonable, whether it be playing as one of the weaker characters or trying out Campaign +.
Speaking of characters, there are about 20 of them, some being very experimental and almost breaking the game. Even the bike you unlock legitimately by beating the campaign several times is too fast for some of the physics or the Ai. But it's fun ! And that's what the game is all about.
There's just something about kicking someone off a roof or a bridge that never gets old and feels extremely satisfying. Or sticking C4 on a truck and boosting away, or slowing down to watch the fireworks.
Road Redemption may not be a polished nor a clean game, and you probably won't play it for months on end, but you'll have fun. It will let you quench the thirst for bike fighting you never knew you had. And for kicking riders off rooftops. Definitely that. An unpolished but worthwhile dose of fun, and a 7.
