About Retrowave
About this game
Get off to the races with Retrowave from RewindApp.
Vibrant Synthwave Soundtrack
Retrowave is a captivating gaming experience that draws from the charm and nostalgia of the 1980s, presenting an idealised, futuristic interpretation of the era. The Synthwave / Retrowave soundtrack engulfs players in a sense of nostalgia, even for an era they've never personally experienced. The unique gameplay involves racing through different visually stunning worlds, first starting with one car, and gradually upgrading it or purchasing new ones with the money earned at the end of each run.
Retro-Futuristic Gaming Environment
The game boasts an array of features designed to enthrall players. These features include a collection of no less than 10 cars, each offering a unique driving experience. Furthermore, players can explore over 5 different universes, each meticulously designed, and engage in 4 different game modes. The game is set in a unique retro-futuristic atmosphere and is accompanied by a rich soundtrack of more than 45 different synthwave music tracks.
Challenging and Dynamic Gameplay
A significant aspect of Retrowave is the ability for players to customise and upgrade their vehicles. The game provides a comprehensive purchase system, allowing players to enhance car performance, introduce new colours, and even change wheels. This adds an element of progression and personalisation to the game, keeping gameplay engaging and addictive.

It's a fun arcade driving game with some minor car upgrading. I personally would've preferred the AI cars to have some semblance of well, AI. Cops do nothing. Other drivers do nothing. They are simply game objects you have to dodge, but in order to get points you have to barely miss them. You do get to buy some cool sports cars, but they all feel the same. If a Pinto or Rabbit were options they'd feel the same as the Ferraris and Lamborghinis. The VHS car is a fun design though. While this isn't really my style of game, the music and 80s vibe do make for a fun drive on occasion.

A bland, unfun asset flip in the guise of a cheap well-rated game.

It's nothing super amazing. Really simple. More of just an experience with progression than a game if that makes any sense. But it got me in the mood buy synth music gear. And inspiration into new paths is always welcome!
