Victory Heat Rally

love this game

Just smashed the first grand prix. Here's why I'm recommending the game: Vibrant pixel work Funky soundtrack Great gameplay Fun 3D track designs (I especially liked the ancient water level) I can tell I'm going to keep digging it.

嘘挙動なドリフトを楽しむゲームです。 ぐーっと曲がって加速、実にシンプル。 ジャンプ台もあるし、ガツンとした効果音がまた最高です。 難点を上げると、コース数がやたら多く、レースゲームらしいコースを極める遊びよりほどほどに走れるようになる程度の遊び方になってしまうことです。 好みの問題かもしれませんが、これによって逆に代わり映えがしないというか…… まあ、とはいえ逆に言えば敷居はかなり低く、大体のコースが初見クリア可能でさくっと遊ぶのには向いています。

Can't go wrong with this fun little racing game! I enjoyed it!! It’s very reminiscent of Mario Kart.

Platinado com sucesso! Um jogo divertido e rápido para quando estiver na dúvida do que jogar. Gostei muito da trilha sonora, que em alguns momentos combinava com os momentos de drift dos carrinhos kkk Os carros achei todos meio iguais, acho que podiam ter investido mais nos designs de cada um, mas a arte pixel é muito bonitinha! Um jogo bem nostalgia, realmente lembra F-Zero. Tem uns bugs no jogo, por exemplo quando você sai da pista, mas o jogo não entende que você saiu da pista e te coloca pra dentro da pista (bug positivo kkkkk). Enfim, recomendo :)

.

ドリフトを多用するステージが多く加速感を満喫でき楽しめる 音楽も盛り上がれる曲調だし、コースアウトしたときの復帰もレースの速度間を維持したままなので、ゲームしててストレスがない。

So good... soo good

This is one of the best arcade racing games i have come across this year! I want to thank steam for recommending it to me, otherwise i would've never seen it Review: VICTORY HEAT RALLY is one of those jewels you barely see nowdays, not sure what games inspired it's creation but, so far, i would say it reminds me to outrun in the sense of speed and handling with a mix of ps2 era of games where the focus was to make good and fun game. So what VICTORY HEAT RALLY for his low price point? let's see: -CHAMPIONSHIP: a campaign mode where you play races in order on a level selection screen A-La-Super Mario bros 3. The first 3 places in a race earn you medals that accumulate in order to open side events while the normal campaign races require you to earn 3rd place or more until you enter the final level of each zone which is a grandprix that usually is a cup with 3 races and 1 rally/sprint againts a unique character/rival. This mode is needed to unlock more characters,tracks and color skins for arcade and versus mode. -ARCADE GP: "RACE THROUGH GRANDPRIX EVENTS FROM THE CHAMPIONSHIP MODE IN A SINGLEPLAYER ARCADE STYLE CHALLENGE" -in-game description. -VERSUS: here you can have single races with all the stuff you unlocked on championship mode againts bots or local players in splitscreen. You can select between single tracks or cups up to 16 consecutive races, cpu difficulty and time out settings so you dont die of old age when your buddy is so far behind, you could count the number of grains in a sand clock before he finishes one lap. (this mode was named a bit confusing to me, you would think this mode is only for online matches or splitscreen races only, this should be named arcade heat racing or something) -TIME ATTACK: self explanatory, you can change the time of the day and set if you want to play a free run or against a ghost. VISUALS: while the graphics are intentionally reminiscent of racing games from classic arcades (once again, OutRun), i would say, the art style is really cute and colourful. Every character you see really checks in the silhoute test while having a good and interesting design while the menus give you that good old feel that SEGA Racing Arcade Cabinet games had. AUDIO: To me this is what put all the game together, the music is really good, cars, menus, characters, everything feels in harmony. Once again, the reason why this game has so muuuuuch charisma and gets a SS+ in the vibes check. GAMEPLAY: each character has a car with different stats that you can tune a little, the cars while being 2d sprites, you can feel their weight, their handling and the speed. Racing feels really good but using boost drift/slide is what makes it worth it all. PERFORMANCE: It runs on the steam deck at 60fps at full screen in battery mode for 6 hours straight at full battery, this game is lightweight and needs less than 500MB on your hard disk. I drop my hat to you guys for such a feature in 2026. BUGS/GLITCHES: So far, only thing that bothers me is that some cars change design in the character screen but when you play, is the same car as other racers but with different stats, i like tommy's car the best in the tittle screen, but it really bothers me that his car is the same that clide has in game. also, sometimes changing the pixel filter on full screen can make the screen to stretch temporarly and adding very small artifacts into the loading screens in the process. There are only 3 default screen resolutions and full screen, i dont know why. GENERAL: You can change laps, day, noon and night cycles, reverse tracks, mirror tracks, be a champ and make a race with 99 laps if you want, local splitscreen up to 4 players. This game really is feature complete, only thing i wish it had is a track builder and a Turntable screen to listen the soundtrack at will. Victory Heat Rally is a reminder to what we lost when we let AAA publishers take control of the general gaming space, it is fun, simple, cheap and charismatic. I highly recommend this game, specially to any Handheld pc owner. It is not listed on steam like this, but i would mark it on the *Great on Deck/Verified* section of the steam library in my own experience. I never came across of any of the issues like small text, problems with the keyboard and mouse showing up or degraded performance.

Pretty fun, the side challenges (Jokers) throughout the Championship kept challenging me in unique ways and I thought the game was a good length.
