Retro Endurance 8bit Preview Speed Running Excellence (Steam Early Access)
Retro Endurance 8bit Preview, Welcome to Retro Endurance 8bit! The game starts off by randomly picking some games from your current unlocked collection of games. You will then keep switching between each game every 10 seconds. In the last round of each game, the game runs at 2x the speed. The more you play, the more scores you accumulate as experience points and the more you level up. Each new level introduces either a new game or a boss battle with some existing games getting harder with new content.
Retro Endurance 8bit Preview Pros:
- Decent chunky pixel art graphics.
- 113.1MB Download size.
- Steam achievements.
- Full controller support.
- Mini-game collection gameplay ranges from platforming to racing and puzzles.
- It is like a retro WarioWare game in its presentation, but with a randomization chucked in.
- A typical run in the game is a timed run and you get and play X amount (it changes) of random games in random order at the same time, I say same time but you play one for a few seconds and then swap out and when you return you are in the same spot.
- Earn points from placing on the podium and in each game to unlock new games to be put into the randomize.
- Local multiplayer support.
- A daily run can be unlocked and keeps track of your best score and how long that daily run layout has left.
- Simple one-button controls.
- The games are a homage to classic games like Mario, Excite Bike, Horace Goes Skiing, Pokemon Puzzle, and many many more.
- It’s such a fun game to play and is very addictive.
- Your Hud stays overall games and shows timer, position, etc.
- Lightning-fast loading times.
- It’s a game that can help break you into the randomizer world.
- In-game character interactions.
- Towards the end of the run the game speed doubles.
- The daily run has a local leaderboard or at least it shows just me on them all.
- Disable room lets you turn off games you don’t want to appear in future runs.
- Big boss encounters and they still swap games out during it.
- A shop now let’s you spend your coins on new games.
- New games and existing games are more shuffled than before.
- Arcade mode found in the shop has its own leaderboards and is just the one game being player with limited lives.
- You can buy arcades so you have different games to play.
- New games have been added again.
Retro Endurance 8bit Preview Cons:
- No actual tutorial.
- Doesn’t have any graphic settings.
- I have had many runs always containing the same game over and over.
- The unlock criteria text could be clearer, it has points to the next level and it’s just not something you can quickly glance out and know.
- No online leaderboards or anything, it would add a lot of replay value and healthy competition.
- Unfortunately, this game will destroy your productivity for the day.
- No leaderboards for the daily run.
- For now, it is just the one game mode but hopefully, it will have some more variations as the gameplay loop is short and sometimes you want it to go longer.
- You don’t really know what game it is you are buying in the shop as you just see a small screen of it playing.
