About Race Arcade
Race Arcade is the ultimate top down racing game with a strong retro feeling and a super smooth gameplay. It is a fresh and evolved racing experience that seamlessly combines all the best parts from the good old racing games to the most recent technologies and game mechanics.
Cars and their handling are the most interesting part of every racing game. In Race Arcade there are six different cars each having a distinctive handling model. Vehicles vary from a fast sports car to a tractor and even up to a real UFO. Various color options expand the vehicle selection up to 60 diverse options. Extremely balanced gameplay keeps all vehicles competitive against each other. Learning the benefits of each vehicle is part of the fun that keeps the race interesting.
Polished game controls and car handling are the most important thing in a racing game. A great amount of work has been done in this area for Race Arcade to reach the same quality of gameplay that has been seen in the best archetypes of this genre. Controls in Race Arcade are a result of careful consideration, thousands of testing hours and decades worth of experience from video games.
In Race Arcade there is also a vast single player mode included. In total there are three different single player game modes, which are single races, time trials and career modes. Single races are quick and fun to play at any time, but the real bread and butter of the single player are the lengthy careers that are unique for each vehicle in the game. On the other hand, the time trial mode is great for fine tuning driving lines towards the perfection, but also helps to achieve new lap records and to learn tricks and traits of each car in the game.
Multiplayer can be played both online and locally. In the online multiplayer compete against players around the world in the 100 fast paced tracks the game has to offer. Online multiplayer is supported up to 10 players. Race Arcade is also a perfect game to play locally from one screen up to 6 players. Sit on a couch with your friends in front of a big screen, or gather around one keyboard to experience the retro racing as it was played back in the 90’s.
Track editor is easy to use and it includes all the same tools used by the developers. Creating custom tracks and sharing them with the community via Steam Workshop is fully integrated into the game. Initially there are 100 tracks in the game, but with the editor and community created content there are literally limitless amount of tracks to play.

Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Well, basically a good nice little 2d arcade racing game with good gameplay and lots of potential. But it is abandoned by its developers... leaving a lot of bugs and room for improvements. Online Multiplayer would be fun... but is dead. Would appreciate an open source version of this game. For the current price of 12€ i can not recommend to buy this game!3 found this helpful
[code]If you like top-down racing games, please follow our [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/36693366/]curator page[/url].[/code] A game with no style. But it is colorful and has well designed courses. The playability strongly depends on the kind of vehicle: Rally car: best playability, most fun. Formula: playable. Motorcycle: ok - but too stiff for tight corners. Sportscar: horrible, slippery like always on ice. Tractor: good. Ufo: ok - but they easily get stuck in the track environment.3 found this helpful
reminds me of rural racer 2..i hope they add turbo and brakes1 found this helpful
The Good: Amazing looking game, lots of racetracks. You have forest biomes, desert biomes, and arctic biomes. Whatever color you pick for your car, the opponents will pick other colors to make all cars colorful. The Bad: The cars handle terrible. I unlocked new cars, and even those handle terrible. I even play on an XBOX One gamepad/controller use brakes and decelerate, but its not enough. Your car keeps sliding out of the track or doesn't turn enough and crashes outside the track. The best way to win races in this game is to crash at the opponents while they are turning a corner so that your car takes the corner easier and pushes them out. There are only 4 types of cars and 1 extra vehicle. The track editor is very difficult to use if you're not a developer. Overall: The negatives outweigh the cons. Would not recommended.
My feelings are mixed about this game but overall It is ok , you can have fun I do not know what are you looking for in an arcade racing game I am sure that this game can cover your needs tho . Good steering and physics with nice textures and races but the AI is bad ...
Great game, but: Pro: Lots of fun. Con: No online players. Still 10/10, though.
