Description
Synthwave Burnout is an arcade journey designed to give you an enjoyable visual and sound experience. The aesthetics of good old fiction, pleasant, uncomplicated supercar control gameplay - all this is created for you. Feel like you're inside your favorite 80s sci-fi movie!

GAMEPLAY FEATURES

Movement is life. In our case, the correct control of the supercar allows its unique generator to extract energy from the surrounding world.

CAPTURE A SOUND WAVE

When your supercar picks up the right speed and the wind blows in your face, you won't want to stop. It will be akin to anticipating the future - the sensations that cult films and music of the 80s evoke. You will soon realize that the soundtrack and the movement on the neon-flooded highway make up a single whole.

THREE THINGS YOU CAN LOOK AT ENDLESSLY:

How the fire burns, how the water flows and how you tame the futuristic road in your elite sports car - out of time and fuss, among the neon glare and synthwave sounds.

LIST OF GAME ELEMENTS:

  • 5 playable locations with varied gameplay
  • 80s neon atmosphere
  • Various racing tracks
  • Stunning retrowave / synthwave soundtrack

It's not a game

It's less of a game than random C64 racer. It's kind of a shame, the graphics and music are OK, but there's absolutely no content. As for bugs, setting controls doesn't work, you start on the wrong side of the car, etc.. etc.. Difficulty? Yes, while you hit a kerb and it's game over, but as there's no time limit and no one's tracking your time or score or anything, you can just drive slowly until you reach the goal. There's nothing you can do except move forward. Overall, you're much better off watching a random synthwave music video.

Wow, this is quite bad

I wasn't expecting much, but I was disappointed all the same. The UI is stupid. Escape opens the menu, but doesn't close it. The "quit" button, separate from the left hand side menu? That exits the game without warning. The key bindings don't stay between restarts, so AZERTY players are screwed. The game starts with an utterly useless phase where you're on foot and the only useful action is to enter the car. The racing is boring to the extreme, with a super long track and no indication of what's left (I never finished that first race). The game is buggy too - in my first attemps I could not at all control the camera while in the car. Only after accidentally quitting and restarting did I notice it wasn't deliberate. Even the music, which should have been the shining point, is lackluster. The neon graphic style is interesting for about 20 seconds, then the eye pain settles in (I'm positive it's possible to make this style work in a less straining way). This "game" is not finished. I can't fathom how this game stands at 3+ stars.

Does not work on Windows 7.

This does not run on Windows 7 despite claiming it does. Launch fails with "The program can't start because api-ms-win-downlevel-kernel32-l2-1-0.dll is missing from your computer." This DLL appears to be from a later Windows version. It then also complains that I do not have DirectX 11, which I do. I know it's "currently in development", but that means "unfinished and may contain bugs" not "uploaded to GoG without even bothering to test if it launches".

Hoped to get a fun little game, not this

For years this seems to be in development. If I read the reviews correctly, nothing has been developed in the last 2 years. This is not fun. I am glad I only paid 79 cents, and event that is overpaid. How can a racing game be fun if you die when you touch the (barely discernible) curb or any other obstacle at 3kph? Why can the driver enter the car in the back? No, not for me or probably anyone who ever enjoyed a racing game.
