VOID RIOT
Released
Neon synthwave arcade racer: link drifts, ride giant loops, land air tricks. Solo or up to 8 players.
Play on keyboard and mouse or pick up a controller.
Features
- 50 stages campaign: A podium finish unlocks the next stage.
- Drift-link boosting: fire the boost in the drift window (PERFECT from 88 %), then flick into the next drift to LINK and stack up to five boosts.
- Loops and gravity: giant magnetic loops, wall rides, tube rolls and gravity flips onto upside-down skyways, with an automatic cockpit view in the loops.
- Air tricks: push a direction and hit the trick button mid-jump for a front flip, back flip or barrel roll. Bring it round before you land for style points.
- Full controller support (Xbox and PlayStation): a classic kart-racer layout with drift on both shoulders and the other shoulder for the drift boost, analog steering, nitro on the triggers and vibration. Every button can be rebound, and a live controller check helps if something is off.
- Free 360° camera: look around with the mouse or the right stick, and switch between six views from cockpit to overhead.
- Score everything: nitro charges, crystals (+1 % top speed each), slipstream, near misses and overtakes all feed your score.
- Live track events: meteor showers, ion storms, raider attacks and scrap convoys, plus a cinematic rescue when you crash.
- 6 original cars with their own handling: VXR-9 APEX supercar, SPECTRE HX hypercar, KESTREL K4 widebody drift coupe, BRAWLER 77 muscle car, IRONCLAD EVX armored e-SUV and SPARROW R hot hatch. Each has paint, neon and rim options.
- Global leaderboards: the best lap on every stage, plus overall boards for wins and podiums.
- Progression: player levels up to 100, achievements and detailed stats, tracked separately for campaign and multiplayer.
- Multiplayer for up to 8 players: lobby, track playlists with championship points, practice while you wait and spectator mode for late joiners.
- Radio: 13 synthwave, cyberpunk and drum & bass tracks (all 150 BPM or faster), with lights that pulse to the beat.
- Training ground that teaches drifting, linking and boosting step by step.
