Dangen Entertainment and Rastrolabs released the launch trailer for RoadOut to mark the game's arrival on the Nintendo eShop.
RoadOut is a story-driven, post-apocalyptic action RPG that blends twin-stick combat, rubber-burning driving mechanics, and dungeon-crawling exploration.
The game is currently available on Nintendo Switch via the eShop.
Overview and context
RoadOut puts players in the role of Claire, a mercenary who survives by accepting black-market contracts in a ruined world dominated by an A.I. The setting centers on The Dead Zone, an artificial biome populated by rival factions including The Wasteheads, The SaibaKuran, and the Order of the New Code.
Players alternate between vehicular travel across the biome and on-foot dungeon expeditions that mix combat and puzzle solving.
How the developers describe the experience
Dangen Entertainment and developer Rastrolabs characterize RoadOut as a hybrid experience that lets players "drive through The Dead Zone doing jobs, getting paid and running roughshod over the scum guarding the secrets of the world." In plain terms, the game pairs high-speed, weaponized car encounters with close-quarters twin-stick combat and exploration when Claire leaves her vehicle.
Key gameplay features
- Explore the World on Wheels: Open-world traversal centered on vehicular missions, faction-based contracts, and reputation systems.
- Twin-Stick Combat and Dungeon Exploration: Exit your vehicle to engage in short- and long-range combat, shield blocking, and puzzle-solving using rotatable perspectives that present 2D-style visuals built from 3D environments.
- Body Mods and Cybernetics: Craft weapons, drugs, and augmentations; upgrade Claire's skills via an intricate skill tree; and enhance vehicles for varying terrain and weather.
- Vehicle Combat and Racing: Equip Claire's car with weapons and tech for survival; participate in races across multiple biomes and modes, including arena-style destruction and derby formats.
The game features 10 race tracks and a synthwave soundtrack.
