Radical Heights

I just want to ride bikes with the boys in pre-game again, come back :(

it is a travesty this project was abandoned

This game was amazing!! I can't believe it's been more than 5 years since this game released! I still miss it to this day!! Man who is to blame for this game failing?

Although I understood Boss Key Productions for pumping out a game quick. Radical Heights when it was released was just way too early to be brought online. There were definitely elements that would have made for an interesting game, but not in the state it was in. It is quite a shame, not for the failing of this title, but more for the downfall of Boss Key, who really deserved better. The gaming industry can be very harsh and I think this is proof of that.

Honestly, even though the movement was weird af, I didn't hate it, and had quite a bit of fun playing it. If they brought it back from the dead, I would certainly play it again, no doubt.

Oh man I have never really missed a game like this one. I terribly regret not playing it more when I had the chance but I thought it was doing well and wasn't truly going to go away. I really do hope someone else picks this game up or makes a private server. I never really did like battle royale games but this one is fun. I was an 80s kid so it made it even more exciting. It even introduced me to a new band that plays in the intro video, Crazy Lixx.

As for the gameplay, just think of any 80s action movie and mix it with a Red Dawn style BR game. Nothing like blazing across 80s brightly colored suburbia with submachine guns and rifles on a bicycle and a bandana with cutoff sleeve jackets and mullets with giant shades. Loved all the collectable mini games within the BR game and how different they all were. Like mini contestant shows while trying to survive. I just wish they could have survived long enough to add 80s action movie vehicles.

With each update the game gets more and more beautiful, love the art style and the new interiors are awesome!

It's FUN - but I want more clear bot disclosures. Ever bot should have BOT in the name. BOTty, RoBOT, BOT's Burgers, BOThams.

very good so far, unlike pubg u dont have to loot 30 building and come out with nothing but a pistol and first aid kit, and unlike fortnite u dont get trickshotted by a guy who went to the top of the map and is spinning like hes in COD.the bike mechanic is wierd sometimes spins out or does random jumps when not hitting anything but still fun to use them. i love the random grid getting zoned out instead of a predictable circle once started. Spin to win sometimes goes into rocks where they cant be used because what ever they fall on they go to ground level. i love this game for the more action and great weapon choices so far. this game has a lot of potential and i can see it takeing over pubg and fortnite someday.

First of all! - They say it´s "X-Treme Early Access" and they mean it, so if you expect a Polished perfectly running game, stay away for now.

However, its decent playable i have no issues myself starting/playing it.
Frames are fine for me aswell, but yes not to much optimasation atm so low-end Mashines might have trouble.


About the Gameplay itself:
Battle Royal Titel in its core just as any other of the genre and got a very cool 80s Theme to it.

- "Acade style" compared to other means faster rounds 20min+-
- Shooting mechanics are quit well all ready and going in the right direction.
- Legit 80s Gameshow Theme
- While it´s a Battle Royal titel like many other, it brings it own spin to enou of the mechanics to be worth playing.

It´s fun at it´s core and thats everythinga early access Titel needs in the beginning. And since it´s Free to Play you can have nothing to loose but some time and the possibility to come back once in a while if you not cool with the current state.
Yes they say it´s Xtreme early access, still its quite rough and visually very basic soo...

Conclusion:

It's definitely got a lot of jank, but it's early access after all and that's honestly part of the charm with these types of games. It's pretty stable, matchmaking times are quick, they've been fixing bugs quickly, and it's certainly not anywhere near unplayable as some reviews have suggested.

The core gameplay of spawning in, collecting stuff, killing dudes and surviving is definitely solid and very addictive. The setting is ripe for the picking when it comes to adding fun and campy new settings, weapons, mechanics, and vehicles. Because it's not restricted by needing to be realistic, it's styled after an 80's gameshow afterall (think Running Man, SmashTV, etc.), the possibilities for new gameplay are only going to be restricted by the developer's imaginations.

Radical Heights is legitimately fun and it's easy to find yourself requieing for match after match, even after a crushing defeat, winning is definitely not a prerequisite for enjoying the game! I see lots of potential for the game to grow and improve in fun and interesting new ways. Hope that they find the support they need to continue developing it into the future.

Ignore early review bombs - look at average play time of negative reviews vs average play time of positive reviews, tells you all you need to know. Its current rating (mixed) is a travesty of fanboyism.

Game is rough, but gameplay mechanics and loop are extremely fun. It isn't PUBG, it isn't Fortnite - has good elements of both, but is very different in a very good way.

Optimization still needs to be done, but playing with friends with rigs that range from brand new 1080ti to cards/cpus that are 2-3 generations behind, everyone was able to play without issue.

Give it a try, and let's all hope the dev works hard on updates, as they have a golden opportunity in front of them.

At first I wasn't too eager to try based on the graphics but, once I played my first game there was something about this game that draws me back again and again. Its unique, fun and not so hard to play. I like the concept of using blocks instead of circles for dead zones until the end when the final 10 or so players enter the circle zone to fight til death. If you like battle royale games and what to try something from the ground up in lieu of playing PUBG and/or Fortnite give this one a try. The developers are regularly posting updates on Twitter/social media.

This is Smash TV battle royale.

For those that are leaving bad reviews because its not optimized....maybe they should realize its an EARLY ACCESS GAME thats FREE thats in prealpha state. To base your review of the game on performance and optimization is ILLOGICAL for an early access game, and appropriate on the release of this game. Since the point in playing this game right now is to utilize your time to provide the devs with data as your playing for them to adjust and optimize the game for all hardware configurations. The map is unfinished...yes...because why make a polished map and dump $$$ into a game when an audience may not even like the concept of it. The game is far from finished and in Pre-aplha state. If your expectations are to download this F2P Early access game that came out yesterday and be a AAA title thats running flawless...or even remotely close to reliable, the issue isnt the game, its your expectations of the game in its current state.

Educate yourself before actually writing down random words onto a review of a game that for all purposes of a final product is about 5% along to being actually being a final product. I suggest getting the game and spending about 5 hours really running around and checking out the concept and where this game could go and offering a productive opinon of your vision. Shouting the game is not optimized is common fucking sense for any early access game and all youre doing is being that annoying guy at the bar everyone wants to punch in the face. Provide something of value.

The concept of this game is amazing. Lots of promise. It reminds me of Smash TV on the old NES. For those that do not know that game check it out. The TV show premise is great. The retro-NESS of it all fits perfectly and this in its current state is fun. Your going to find your typical bugs in the games as far as animations being incomplete to parts of the maps without actual textures and thats fine. Because its irelevant to the game at its core. This is a battle royal game with a twist with a TV show. If you enjoy the BR scene then you will have fun with this game.

Good job Boss Key with a new refreshing concept into the BR area. Im really enjoying it and look forward to seeing the game grow

Very good Battle Royale game, with fun 80's atmosphere, sound / audio and great gameplay.

I love the coloration, the graphics are nice tho they could use a boost, especially in the optimisation departement.

Other than that this game is fun, frantic and enjoyable.

I have fun playing this in Duo with a friend in my friendlist and i hope to see a lot more for this game,

KEEP IN MIND : 5 months of developpement !!! This game has a lot of futur i am sure and Boss Key will add a lot more, PLUS !!!!! ITS FREE TO PLAY, STOP BEING KIDS AND HATING

It's easy to see when playing this game, it's extremely early. But when you start to get a feel for its mechanics, the feedback loops and where it stands apart from other BR games, there's a lot of potential here. It's free 2 play, so you've really got nothing to lose. You might even really like it!

Check this out maan. Im a BR fanatic. I have over a thousand hours in h1z1 and have ecperience in fornite as well as PUBG. With that being said, I would like to take a firm stance and say I think this game is great. Possibly my most fun expereince on a br game. YES theyre are more bugs than King tuts tomb, YES the announcers voice is probably the worst voice in video game history. BUT if im willing to invest in a game for 3 years and have nothing to show for it, im willing to give this a try. HERES TO RADICAL HEIGHTS.

The cirlce in this game is different, its grid squares. imagine a bunch of players across the map, instead of closing in a cirlce, it closes in a runways straight line to force players in at each others in new ways
i think this game is going to take off, and it plays great already, which is something the others have trouble doing for some reason

game had potential, specifically the developers, lawbreakers showed what these devs could do and what this and lawbreakers could of been if the state of this industry wasnt so poor. gg bosskey. gg radical heights. gg lawbreakers.

you played well.

A little childish, but in a good way. Fun gunplay, really well done music, and controls well for being this fresh. Seems like it has only improvement to be had. Que was fixed and it's easy to get into a game.

The one problem i have is it feels as if the random nature of the item drops is a bit slanted to cause a standoff, and a smart player could really easily force people to over expose themselves. In some odd way it feels like it could be a part of the game show element, but it always feels like at times the small sectors of the map lose loot to random object placement or a unfinished map.

Otherwise still a fun game.

As of April 22 It still has a little bit of a problem with hackers and script kiddies, but the one thing i have learned over my years of gaming is this is unavoidable. When you do get a fair fight, it's a magic romp in 80's action land. Still recommend it, but be warned when you do run into a cheater, the magic is ruined vastly faster then it was made.

As an early F2P game it's hard to find too much worthy of criticism. The gunplay is solid and with neat changes to the Battle Royal formula I can see myself coming back to play this one as the team at Boss Key continue to work on it.

I find it absolutely hilarious that the majority of these bad reviews are complaining about the game's current state. It is EXTREMELY EARLY ACCESS. So early, it's almost as if the game isn't... finished. WHICH IS BECAUSE IT'S EARLY ACCESS.

People need to get a grip.
The game in its current state does lack a lot of things. But it has potential to become something better, and it's even free-to-play, so it's not like we're being asked to pay for this Alpha state game.
