So I’m hesitant to recommend stuff on Epic as their history with Tencent leaves something to be desired, but they’re offering Road Redemption (a modernized PC successor) for free this week if anyone else wants to jump on the deal.
The music alone was worth the play! I played this on sega genesis all day long!
Yeah, Road Redemption is great. I wish it had more varied environments, though. I think I just miss Genesis graphix :P
Smacking other racers in the face with a metal chain never got old. I was terrible at the actual racing but at least nobody could overtake me!
Never played this game, but the image reminds me of Full Throttle.
I remember! My sister and I played a ton on Genesis. I should get emulation set up on my Steam Deck so I can play the originals again haha.
we played the series on genesis at my cousins all the time so this has nostalgia up the orifices for me
Nobody linking it!? https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/p/road-redemption-ce16fb
Oh, it’s Road Redemption being given away. I bought this on steam a few years ago. Pretty good game, but never quite managed to capture the magic of Road Rash. Maybe it’s just nostalgia talking though.
Road Rash was great, but I feel the real spiritual successor was Burnout 3: Takedown.
Now make the game run better on emulators :(
I still can’t believe they remastered the wrong one.
For a second I wasnt sure which one you meant, and then I realized I think I own it, burnout paradise right? I do like that game but I’m not sure it needed a remaster yet.
Road Redemtpion was supposed to be the “spiritual successor” to Road Rash. I don’t remember it being very good, but it might scratch the itch
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Road_RedemptionMan i loved that chain
I can’t remember which game in the Road Rash series had it but the song Speed Home California is a certified banger.
I played it on my Amiga. Good times.
Played the original a few weeks ago, it’s a little janky, but still fun.
I remember the chain being the best weapon.
I remember this being a Sega channel staple for me and my brother.
Yes I do. Had Road Rash on the Amiga…3 decades ago.
I’ve beat both the campaign and campaign+ in Road Redemption, and I’ve unlocked the entire upgrade tree. It’s one of my most addictive games. I’m now playing through it on campaign++ lmao.
