• IGN (7.5/10): "It lacks the slick polish of a major studio production, but Road Redemption captures the chaotic, hilarious spirit of Road Rash better than any clone in the last 20 years."
• PC Gamer (78/100): "The rogue-lite grind feels at odds with the arcade pacing, but when you knock a rival into a bridge abutment at 200mph, you won't care."
• Steam User Reviews: Overwhelmingly Positive (at launch). Fans praised the split-screen multiplayer, a rarity on PC in 2017. Playing 4-player local split-screen on a single monitor was a huge selling point for college dorms and LAN parties.

• Brutally satisfying physics-based combat.
• Excellent split-screen support on PC.
• Rewarding (if grindy) progression system.
• Phenomenal punk/metal soundtrack.
