Race Arcade

A rehash of Slicks 'n' Slide with less features. Improved physics, audio and graphics, but Slicks did everything else better. I recommend buying only at a discount, if you really have to.

Race Arcade is a surprisingly neat little indie arcade racer which kind of kept reminding me a lot of Micro Machines. Which is great. It features a fun multiplayer modes, good course design and a lot of workshop content. Despite appearances, worth a look.

Race Arcade is a fun top-down racer but with some more polishing it could have been a much greater game! On the plus side is nice old school graphics (if you like that sort of thing), car handling, lots of tracks and a track editor. The down side is that the main game element, the carrer mode, doesn't last long at all. I finished the carrer mode in just over one hour. Once you've finished carrer mode, you only have single races, time trials and online mode. Single races and time trials can be pretty fun but are far less engaging compared to the carrer mode. I can't say much about the online mode since I never found anyone to race against. Note that the AI is pretty weak and the entire carrer mode is easily won using the standard car. In my mind the game would have been so much better if the developers had just put some more effort into it. E.g. * Configurable single races, like number of laps and number of opponents * More carrer races, like randomized cup races (just randomize what tracks to include in the cup) * Car mods to improve your car, like in the old game Indy Heat Overall I recommend this game if you like the top-down genre especially if you can pick it up at a sale.

fun game, but not worth more than a euro.

Hey Racer Fans! I’m a huge fan of top-down racers and come from the Micro Machines era. Of course, Race Online isn’t Micro Machines, but I was looking for a good top-down racing game — and this one delivers. At first, I thought it was just a fun racer with power-ups, but I was wrong. This game is quite realistic, fair, and challenging. You really feel the differences between cars and surfaces. Screw up? That’s on you — but the races are always fair. I just finished the first two seasons and got the game on sale for €6. I can totally recommend it. I don’t play online (yeah, I know it’s called Race Online 😅), but I prefer single-player sometimes. If you love single-player top-down racers with lots of content — tracks, editors, unlockables, etc. — this game is for you. Cheers.

Top-down or isometric racers are a rarety nowaday. Even rarer are the ones that really nail the look and feel of old retro acrade racers. Race Arcade looks and feels absolutely lovely, the controls are tight, the levels are full with details and lovely crafted. Every corner feels predictable, every race is tight battle for laptimes and a good position and not a random outcome of powerups, oil slicks, rubber banding and explosions. Race Arcade is clearly loveletter to retro top down racing games or Rush Rush Rally Racing! If you love the gerne or look for a fun and enjoyable skill-based couch party game, then you should definitely pick this game up!

The main screen doesn't seem to load the images and I was about to ask for a refund today after purchasing this in the winter sale but I clicked on the yellow screen toward the lower right and suddenly got the options screen. Then I hit escape to go back to the yellow screen and clicked lower on the lower right screen and got the Editor screen! Finally was able to edit my own track. I had uninstalled the game , then found out what the main screen is suppose to look like so I reinstalled the game to see if the screen would load correctly or if I could somehow access the buttons I can't see. I am able to click the buttons even though the whole screen is yellow. Hope the yellow screen gets fixed. I guess I will keep this game and give it a thumbs up because I can play the races and can now edit my own track!

I played through the first "career season" and then got a refund. Gameplay is smooth, as advertised, but I fail to see the depth in it. This feels like a vanilla top-down racing game, without any innovative gamemode or any interactive element on the maps to give it a little soul, nor does it have its own universe to make it stand out of the crowd. Level design isn't problem-proof either, some path that might seem like legit shortcuts might just simply invalidate your lap (which you see only when you complete that lap, so it basically cost you the race). I don't see myself suggesting my friends to play this with me, because this relies solely on skill and map knowledge, and there are much more interesting racing games on Steam in my opinion.
