Ce n'est peut-être pas le meilleur jeu de courses auquel j'ai pu jouer ces derniers temps mais celui-ci m'a malgré tout séduit. On enchaîne les courses à travers 5 environnements où le but est de terminer à chaque fois 1er afin de devenir THE pilote de Steel Racer ! On pourra également récolter des $ pour acheter des améliorations pour notre tuture ainsi que + de nitro et des peintures. Je regrette cependant que les courses soient par moments répétitifs et que l'IA ne fait que suivre son p'tit chemin sans être agressif. Si vous aimez les petits jeux de course indé sans prise de tête, je ne peux que vous le recommencer !
FANTÁSTICOOO
Faz o arroz com feijão básico no estilo de jogo, mas precisa melhorar em vários aspectos para ter desafios maiores a medida que progredimos no jogo.
Steel Racer is a nostalgic throwback to the 2D pixel art racing games that many of us grew up on during the 80s and 90s. Filled to the brim with a retro aesthetic, chiptune music, and intense high-speed action, Steel Racer successfully captures the charm of old-school arcade racers while bringing its unique innovations to the table. Right from the get-go, Steel Racer’s pixelated art style stands out. It's colorful, vibrant, and packed with intricate details that do justice to its predecessors while feeling fresh and engaging. There's evident love and care poured into the graphics, resulting in an appealing visual treat that never gets old. A major highlight of Steel Racer is its gameplay. With 50 unique circuits spread over 5 racing seasons, the game boasts an impressive variety of tracks that keep the races engaging and unpredictable. The ability to choose the order of races adds an exciting strategic element. You're not just a racer but also a tactician, managing your progression through the seasons. The inclusion of a robust upgrade and customization system provides an additional layer of depth. Winning races earns money that can be used to improve your car, granting a tangible sense of progression. Seeing your car evolve and become more capable as you progress through the seasons is an absolute joy. Steel Racer's chiptune soundtrack perfectly complements its retro aesthetic. It evokes a sense of nostalgia while keeping your adrenaline pumping during the high-speed races. Each tune is catchy and helps to accentuate the fast-paced nature of the gameplay. The game also deserves praise for its accessibility. With 3 difficulty settings and 3 levels of traction assist, players of all skill levels can enjoy the thrill of racing. This feature ensures that whether you're a novice or a seasoned veteran of racing games, you can find the right level of challenge in Steel Racer. In conclusion, Steel Racer is a love letter to the classic 2D racing games of yesteryears. It combines engaging gameplay, stunning pixel art, catchy chiptune music, and a decent level of challenge into a comprehensive package that any fan of racing games will appreciate. It's a nostalgic yet fresh take on the genre that stands out among contemporary offerings.
An excellent title, made with love for oldies. It hits the sweet spot extremely well. Nice and relatively short, but with enough content to be absolutely worth it. Achievements are earned as you play and are NOT tied to difficulty. Slam the gas, people!
Runs great on the Steam Deck. The game itself is kinda boring, without much challenges. A nice game to fire up and play for a couple of minutes
It's a good game and fun to play, I certainly enjoyed my time with it and completed it with all the achievements. I would like to see a harder version of the game though, one with perhaps fewer laps per race or a stricter limit on nitro charges as after a while the game does become too easy and you find yourself doing lap after lap without ever seeing another car once you climb into first place. Not a bad game for the price, a good soundtrack and wonderful graphics makes this something worth checking out as something to play on your steam deck.
yes
Pretty fun little retro racer. I wish there was a bit more depth to it (but then again I haven't played very far so maybe there are surprises in the later game) and more era-accurate graphics (but the graphics are still easy on the eyes, especially looking down the road, with a good framerate), but it's still a fun game worth picking up if you're into old classics like Rad Racer. One thing it definitely has over those older games is control. Steering the car actually feels like you have a lot of control unlike some of the classics I remember playing where the bad controls just got frustrating. Worth a pick up on sale if you are in the mood for this type of game.
Great little pixel race game, got a good vibe soundtrack. I just wish there was a way to play against friends for racing I think that would make the game more fun. But for a few dollars, not too heck!
