RPS Announces Roadlike: A Roguelike Arcade Racer
Roadlike, an arcade racing roguelike with fully procedurally generated tracks, inspired by classics like Outrun and Daytona USA but reimagined for today's players, has now passed all of its roadworthy checks and is ready to leave the garage and burn rubber. We're delighted to fully reveal it to the world with a massively requested feature: the ability to speed off into the unknown with your friends in split-screen multiplayer! This feature will be showcased exclusively at the Indie Arena Booth at Gamescom.
In Roadlike, you can expect an exciting combo of classic arcade racing and modern roguelike elements. The game stands out with its procedurally generated tracks, ensuring no two races are alike, and its diverse biomes that offer fresh visual experiences and unique challenges. The dynamic upgrade system allows players to customize their cars, creating unique builds and adding strategic depth to the gameplay. With the addition of split-screen multiplayer, Roadlike promises endless fun and competition, making it a must-play for racing and roguelike fans alike.
Matt Murtagh, Director said:We can't wait to show Roadlike off at Gamescom. We haven't seen that many arcade racers in recent years, and with Roadlike we want to more than just invoke nostalgia - we want to evolve the genre and show the joy we felt at the arcades to a new generation of players.
Thomas Hitchcock, Design/Audio Lead said:As an arcade racing fan, a video of the Daytona USA composer having an absolute blast in the studio was the final push to start a career in games. This game’s design has come a very long way since it was on the Notes app of my iPod Touch, and I’m ecstatic to share that carefree arcade zeitgeist with people on the showroom floor.
