I love a classic “Super Scaler” game, so when Victory Heat Rally by Skydevilpalm, published by Playtonic Friends, claimed to offer a “turbocharged neo Super Scaler arcade racing experience”, I was immediately interested. And that interest solidified when I played the game’s demo during a recent Steam Next Fest.
Now, the full game is finally here, and it’s a wonderful thing. Offering easy to pick up but hard to master arcade racing action, Victory Heat Rally is a beautiful example of a “modern retro” game: unmistakably inspired by classics of years gone by, but also incorporating features made possible by today’s gaming hardware.
If you’ve ever enjoyed games like Sega’s Power Drift or the ever-reliable Mario Kart series, Victory Heat Rally is a game that should definitely be on your radar. So let’s take a closer look after the jump.
