Road Redemption

A very fun but hard game. The combat will need some time to get good at. But ones you get good at the combat this game is so much fun. Smacking dudes in the face and watching them fall off their bike is so satisfying plus your encouraged to kill people anyway. Cause killing people is how you heal and earn money to buy upgrades and also nitro and crit charge to deal a more powerful attack that cant be blocked or you clould use the crit charge to make your kick stronger. Point is the combat is very good and satisfying. In my opinion this game is WORTH the price.

10% racing 90% fighting. so still a far cry of what Road Rash experience, despite this game's goal is to become its successor. Control is so slippery and not enjoyable to even assisting your maneuver for combat heavy racing.

This game is super fun and also brings back some good vibes and memories for those that are fans of bike racing games, specially for Road Rash players.

Like other people have said if you liked road rash you will like this game its basically a modern day version of it id recommend this game it, the only bad things i can say is it can get boring after a while and the graphics arnt super great but there not bad either i wouldnt play this for longer periods of time but for 1-2 hours time will fly by, if you played with other people would be better the online parts doesnt have enough people or no one playing it or something to do with severs dunno but id consider this game single player/ couch co-op and it runs 100% fine on my kinda potato pc no glitches or bugs so far

Not recommended til devs implement dedicated online servers. Every day you log in and click "online" you are greeted with a message "no servers found. multiplayer servers will be full at X:XX" where the time changes constantly, but never results in playable online content. whats the point of having it for $3 if it doesnt work?

As far as I can tell its a single player/couch co op game, which is great but there doesnt seem to be the ability to play with your friends online. That being said the campaign is pretty awesome. Seems to be a roguelike road rash type blend.

This game is a ton of fun. Split screen in a game released in 2019? Awesome! Wish online play worked so I could maim, decapitate, and blow up all my friends!

The campaign is very hard (at least the final boss), but the races are great.

Big fan of whichever Road Rash game I played as a kid and this can proudly hold up the title of
"Janky But Fun Road Rash Like Game"
Normally I wait until I 100% or just beat a game before I review it but between me being terrible at it and the fps dropping sometimes at the worse possible moment figured I'd go ahead and say its swell time and i cant wait for the next game they make.

Definitely fun, worth tplaying and amazing musics! Would be nice if more motor options but this is a "game" yeah, fun game!

This game is fun but also feels kinda unfinished.

The controls are floaty and the aiming with controller while driving and not crashing into obstacles or cars requires lots of training. I can live with that but many others won't and are going to dismiss this game directly wich is kinda unnecessary. I think sorts of a lock on system would be an idea to help fighting and driving at the same time.

But the main cons from my side: the missiondesign/ story-roguelike attempt & the trackdesign. I have no problem at all with the fact this is a hybrid between racing and fighting/shooting game, with mainweight on fighting. But I dont feel this tracks and missions at all. Feels like a masterdegree studyproject rather then a fleshed out product.
No offense, I appreciate a lot here and really like the idea of the road rage revival! But after finishing this 100% I have the feeling that there are just 3 or 4 different tracks in this game 2 of those even similar just with different weathertextures. you'll face curves and obstacles more to distract and upset instead of having really nice wide tracks with mostly smooth corners.
The theme is kinda madmax.. but the execution feels super goofy and unserious although you're shooting cops and gangmembers. Not cartoony in a fun way, more like there was an idea but not enough time and budget to realise it properly. More tracks and more variety at those would help a lot. Instead of throwing various strange missionideas randomly at the player, I'd try to create a simple concept with different roots to pick from. The main idea with the assasins you gotta execute is actually fine, but give em different themes in different settings. Try to make the character selection feel like in other good games with different characters.. different unique types with strengths and weaknesses.. not a every character you unlock gets more fucked up all the time lol.. and last but not least: the driving physics could need some work :D

I don't want to be all negative cause theres so much potential here and I had a great time at least for 5 up to 10 hours so I'll rate it 05/10 on a sale

Super simple. Super fun. Super re-playable.

This is a pretty fried moto combat rougelike where you pretty much just beat the snot out of everyone around you and unlock stuff to pretty much just beat the snot out of more people. 10/10 Would recommend.

A more modern version of the Road Rash series, Road Redemption brings back the vibe of American Biker Gang action with more characters, bikes, weapons and passive skills. Some might hate the gamble system, but that also improves the replay value (where winning gives more rewards, losing causes penalty and dying have everything stripped away from you). Campaigns are a bit repetitive, but difficulty is randomized, so every playthrough could offer different experience. For an action racing game, Road Redemption, approved!

Wacky Fun. Becomes quite addictive trying to improve and mess around with all the bonus characters and weapons.
Excited to try it as couch co-op with some friends

I won't get a refund because I spent like 5 bucks, but this game tries to be Road Rash and fails miserably. You could win by racing and only racing back then. Nitrous was a thing only in the Diablo bikes, the fastest ones. I played RR on Sega, PC and N64 and this is very combat heavy and the last levels are infuriating. There isn't even a speedometer, so yeah, vehicle combat, but the racing part really isn't there. Also talk about the insane amount of nitrous you need to catch up, beat up people, then restart. Awful.

Awesome gameplay and structure, quick and engaging fun

This is one of the best couch cop games I've played. I found it more entertaining than most racing games and the action is very satisfying

Road Redemption review

We dig motorbikes, most motorbike games are coded for fast cornering speeds (Road Redemption is too) which does not make sense to most new players. They expect it will drive like other car games or other games with car driving included.

Once you figure out there is slow cornering to get out of the ditch but on road only fast cornering this is when you become competitive and start completing the levels. It is difficult, keep an eye on your health as its not a given when the next level starts your character health regenerates to full. It remains through each level. Which is part of the fun and difficulty to come back and try again.

Visually this game is enough. Its impressive and smooth to play.
The combat is good, it does take a while before you are capable of melee combat while corning on sharp corners.
Online is exactly as you expect, players with more play time and picking maps newbies haven't reached yet playing single player. But that is part of the gaming experience.
Split screen works, we wish more games developers thought of this, plus single player plus multiplayer. Tested with a PS5 controller.
More maps and different AI characters could bring more players and existing players too this game.
The sounds are too loud, no fancy audio settings between stereo, TV or headphones, thus nitro and voices are too loud using headphones. Switch back to stereo speakers and its okay.

Pure fun. takes the road rash concept but balances the combat with the racing. youll need to kill enemies to recharge boosters to keep up with the race component while having a satisfying perry/decapitation combat ballet

Terrible level design, poor controls, uninspiring gameplay. Rather play Road Rash on Genesis. D+

Road Redemption is a thrilling spiritual successor to Road Rash, blending high-speed motorcycle combat with roguelike progression. The mix of brutal melee combat, gunplay, and high-speed racing creates an adrenaline-fueled experience that keeps you coming back for more.

The game shines in its chaotic, over-the-top action, but its visuals and physics can feel a bit rough around the edges. While the campaign is fun, the roguelike mechanics may not appeal to everyone, and some repetition can set in over time. Despite that, it’s an absolute blast, especially in multiplayer.

Pros:
✅ Intense and satisfying combat-racing gameplay
✅ Fun multiplayer experience with friends
✅ Addictive roguelike progression

Cons:
❌ Graphics and physics feel somewhat dated
❌ Can get repetitive after extended play

Final Rating: 6.7/10
Road Redemption delivers fast-paced, chaotic fun that’s perfect for fans of classic motorcycle combat games. If you loved Road Rash, this is a ride worth taking! 🏍️🔥

As a big fan of the Road Rash series, it didn't take me long to realise that this is little but a poor tribute, and not good enough to stand on it's own two feet, despite it being a noble attempt in some ways.

The general play is OK. It's certainly smoother and more together than the earlier Road Rash games, the modern QoL additions also help too. But a few big flaws killed it dead for me very early.

Firstly, the whole game feels trashy because of a rubber-band style effect with random enemies. These chaps appear out of nowhere and completely kill the sense of being in a race with other bikers. They're a boring distraction, and water down all the individuality which having named characters as opponents gives games.

Secondly, they've given the main campaign XP and there's nothing no more annoying to me than arcade style games getting crutches like that. These should be designed as a test of skill, not grinding.

Finally, it's almost impossible for you to be knocked off your bike by an opponent. This really weakens the sense of being in the game's scraps, and strategizing health management between races is, again, just out of place for a game of this ilk.

So yeah, not a game I reccomend. It takes the old school Road Rash formula, modernises it by transitioning it from Arcade style game to a more modern Grind based one, and kills a lot of the fun in the process. Too easy, too breezy, and just a bit lame all round.

As much as I love the concept, the game is fucking infuriating. With just a few tweaks it could be great, with a few more, it could be perfect, however in this state its more frustrating than fun.

++ Relatively original concept. Simple racing is boring, smashing stuff adds a nice mechanic
+ For a solo dev/small team, the game is quite feature rich and looks adequate
+ Option of getting health by smashing others is really fun
+ NPC interactions and mechanical design are well though out
+ Economy is relatively decently done

- Missing casual mode. The game is too hard to be fun for casual gamers like me. I do not have the reaction speed of a cat and dont want to spend my life acquiring it just to have a bit of fun.
- The progression is upside down.
- The latter bikes are all worse than the first one.
- You start with no powerups and the game gradually gets easier as you acquire them
- The mechanic of racing several races only to find out I didnt earn enough xp to acquire any powerup is infuriating given that the xp dont transfer. Its also infuriating you sometimes have to waste xp to get something cheaper because you need to unlock the next thing you actually want instead of spending the xp on something you may not afford in the next iteration
- Nitro has way too many powerups and items even though you will never lack on nitro even if you dont take any of the items or characters or bikes that focus on it.
- No minimap and no preview of the track. Unless you have driven so many times through each track, you have no idea what is waiting for you and combined with really steep punishment for riding off the road and shit handling, and you having to focus on the other bikes and cars brings a lot of frustration.
- Good handling for fights with others, but really shit handling for actually staying on the road.
- Too steep punishment for driving off the road. Combined with the shit handling and no minimap, this is really frustrating very often.
- Very repetetive and unskippable end race NPC comments
- UI doesnt look very good and on PC the controls arent really user friendly.
- The occasional bug (for instance getting spawned into the road unable to respawn, unable to ride or do anything)

I still recommend it, because the game is promising, but in it's current state I wont play a minute more of it.

The Highlights of the Game
✓ Multiplayer.
The multiplayer mode in Road Redemption is undoubtedly the highlight of the experience. It’s an absolute blast to kick enemies off their bikes, but it’s even more fun to kick your friends! The chaotic battles and hilarious moments that unfold when playing with others make every session unforgettable.
While the game can be challenging, one of its biggest strengths in co-op mode is that only one player needs to reach the finish line for the mission to be completed. This adds a layer of teamwork and strategy, as you can sacrifice yourself to save your friends or push forward while they cover your back. It’s this balance of competition and cooperation that makes Road Redemption’s multiplayer so addictive and enjoyable.
✓Fast-Paced and Thrilling Gameplay
✓Roguelike Elements
✓Variety of Weapons and Tactics
✓Atmosphere and Humor
✓Upgrades and Progression

The Downsides of the Game
× Limited Content
× Physics
× Graphics
× Repetitiveness

Really dope game with a great soundtrack. Multiplayer servers do not work and there is no actual online coop, however it works ok most of the time through remote play.

9/10 for Nostalgia (Road Rash)
5/10 for Creativity

It becomes very repetitive after a few plays

bought to play with friends the lack of ability to host a lobby of only us and the NPCs without utilizing remoteplay is frustrating. having couch co-op is a nice feature, not having an online that functions in the same way is not

This is a game where I wish reviews were based on a point system instead of Like or Not.

Road Redemption will be most appealing probably to fans of the old Road Rash games. There's little variety to the tracks, and the music is blah; definitely play this to your own music in the background. The gameplay isn't perfect, but it's at least fun, even if it does get tedious after a bit; the game is best played in short pick up and play bursts. Combat is fun, with a variety of weapons to pick up and use (blunt, blades, explosives, guns, etc), in addition to being able to grab, kick, and deflect. In between levels you can spend earned cash to replenish health, armor, nitro, or to level up certain things for your run. At the end you are then able to apply points to a permanent skill tree.

I purchased this game for $2.99. Fun game play loop. It will provide me enough entertainment until I beat the game.

Great entertainment in co-op at a very cheap price when it's on sale.

this game is so fun and i have only played it for 4 hours it takes some grinding but is a good overall game

It's a good single player game, multiplayer could use some work tho. Couldn't find a game.

Great for split screen co-op, fun as just a single player game too!

Maybe I just remember Road Rash being better than it actually was. I played the hell out of that game. I think for me the problem is in the gameplay loop. It didn't "feel" like a death race. It kept throwing odd "missions" at me that didn't really fit the theme. Having to take out a gang leader is one thing, but having to kill X amount of a group, or perform X maneuver so many times took it out of being a fight for survival and just made it a stereotypical arcade button basher. The "race" felt like an afterthought. And if you expect a sort of proper physics, forget about it. I purchased this when it was on sale for 2.99 and still refunded it. I just had no desire to keep it.

Great game where you can kill people as brutally as possible but lacks online co-op.

One of those rare games that I end up enjoying so damn much that I come back years later and play all the way through for a second time.

Road Redemption is a racing game where you hit, kick, and shoot people. It's pretty fun but is a shallow experience overall, all of the weapons feel the same, and after playing for a bit you feel like you've seen everything the game has to offer. The game has rougelite elements, but these elements don't really do anything to make the game more interesting. This game is a fine distraction for a while, but gets stale pretty quickly.

Don't buy this game for so many reasons it sucks..The programmers of this game have mental problem being raised by there parents and you can clearly see these people are unhappy in life...the game is in forever in unfinished mode...They don't understand the game that they are creating...pass this up theres better way to waste your money

Gran juego para cooperativo local 4 bobos en un sofá, muy recomendado.

Very slow load screens. The game is almost unplayable for how much time is wasted waiting for the level to load when the game first starts. And the game was released in 2019, so I'm not holding my breath that it will see any significant optimizations going forward. Otherwise the gameplay is fun.

Extremely fun with tons of replayability for such a low price. Bought it thinking I'd play for an hour or so. 6 hours later I'm still loving it, such a simple concept but so well executed, can tell the dev put a lot of love into this.

Also, as a biker, this game is an accurate depiction of my daily commute.

I was impressed by this game. It feels like a spiritual successor to Road Rash with a addictive rogue lite feel. Upgrading and slowly upgrading bikes and characters makes you want to keep doing JUST ONE MORE. Gameplay can be a little repetitive bu even weapons vary quite a bit. Graphics aren't overly impressive, but they dont need t be. Maps are randomly generated and controls well.

played it for six hours and now the servers keep saying cant connect. i waisted my money so you dont have to.

Great mindless fun. Up to 4 player local splitscreen. Now we're talking.

This takes me back to the days of sitting on my buddies basement playing Road Rash for hours on end back in the 90's. This isn't quite Road Rash, but I enjoy it just as much. Very satisfying game play, with real skill that you have to acquire and adapt to in order to achieve success in the game.

My only complain is I wish the upgrades worked a bit more like the classic Road Rash, but there are upgrades nonetheless.

For this price point, one of the best games in my library for a fast and satisfying 30-45 minute session. Can't always be playing Hearts of Iron!

this game really good for killing time , despite im huge fans road r*ash series since road r*sh 1 (first ever series) i can say road redemption is totally different one . too brutal i can say xD .

its more like downhill but the bottle change into the weapon xD

This is about as close to the old Road Rash as I can remember. Brings back a lot of fun memories from when I was a kid. I think there are some things that could be better, but it in no way is enough of an issue to have anything of real significance to negatively say about the game. I do wish I could re-map the controller functions, but again, not a deal breaker.

Amazing Game, Played This awhile ago. Ian and Paul are amazing dudes

Fun game, reminds me of RR on sega genesis. Good graphics. Usually runs well. I hit spots where my frames tank. Might be my hardware (1050ti , Intel i5, 16G ram). Other than the few performance issues, I like it. All of the items have use, progression is based off of skill. Currently only played Campaign 1
