Star Wars Galactic Racer’s roguelike racing mechanics is not for all
Star Wars Galactic Racer is a new video game that blends high-speed pod racing with roguelike mechanics and vehicular destruction. The game draws inspiration from the Star Wars prequel trilogy and the Burnout racing series.
Why it matters
The game represents a niche intersection of classic film IP and high-intensity arcade racing mechanics for gaming enthusiasts.
Star Wars Galactic Racer’s roguelike racing mechanics is not for all left https://th-i.thgim.com/public/news/cities/bangalore/yqdog5/article71619142.ece/alternates/FREE_1200/SwG.jpg Any racing game with a high-risk nitro booster called RamJet, is a game you need to play right now, and Star Wars Galactic Racer has plenty of it Ask anyone what the best part of Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace is, and every one of them will say the thunderous, high-octane chaos-filled, pod racing sequence. Now, ask anyone what their favourite arcade-style racing game is, and the Burnout series will pretty much be high up on that list. Burnout was a racing game built around spectacular car crashes, back when burnout meant wrecking cars rather than your mental health. Now, fuse both Episode 1 Racer and Burnout — the chaos, speed and fiddly unpredictability of racing hovering death traps across the galaxy with aggressive vehicular destruction, and you get Star Wars Galactic Racer.
