Horizon Chase Turbo Free Download Gopcgames.com There are many gamers out there – this writer included – who would kill for a modern-day version of Out Run. Not literally, mind you, but we could probably stretch to petty crime if need be. While fans of Sega’s definitive arcade racer will be pleased to hear it’s coming to the Switch soon as part of the Sega AGES series, it would still be nice to get something new. Step forward Horizon Chase Turbo, which nails that feeling better than any other modern racer. Actually, although Out Run is the comparison most would immediately jump to (like we just did), Horizon Chase Turbo has more in common with the Top Gear games on the SNES. Brazilian developer Aquiris has stated that its major source of inspiration was the 16-bit trilogy of Top Gear, Top Gear 2 and Top Gear 3000, to the extent that it even brought back the original game’s composer Barry Leitch to create its soundtrack.

Whichever old-school racer you want to compare it to, the important thing is that Horizon Chase Turbo is absolutely fantastic. It ticks all the boxes that define the best examples of the genre: pristine and beautiful landscapes, obscenely high speeds, incredibly satisfying handling and – that classic Sega staple – skies that are the bluest blue imaginable. The main mode on offer here is World Tour. Consisting of just over 100 tracks spread among 12 regions, it has you starting in California and travelling right across the world – taking in the likes of Iceland, South Africa, China and the UAE – before ending up at Hawaii. Completing World Tour will take you an extremely long time, but it’s never dull or repetitive because the game goes above and beyond to ensure it always feels fresh. Despite the large number of tracks available, each has its own personality and style. Whether it’s the Morning Walk stage set in the Sequoia National Park – complete with fir trees lining the side of the road and a giant fallen oak with a tunnel cut into it – or the large ‘EU [heart] BRASILIA’ sign on the first track in the developer’s native Brazil, you’re still going to be seeing new things even as you reach the end of this lengthy mode.

Dynamic weather and time of day effects that affect gameplay.

Replay value is strong in World Tour, too. While finishing at a decent position in each race is enough to keep you progressing for the most part, the real aim is to get a perfect score. There are a number of blue tokens dotted around each track, and if you can collect every token and finish first in the race, you’ll be able to tick that one off as truly complete and get a special cup for that track. There’s a special car available if you can do this on every circuit, so that’s your incentive. There are two kinds of people. And maybe sometimes some overlap in between. There are people who think Top Gear is a UK television show where the host punched a man on the face and now is on Amazon Prime instead. And then there are those who think that Top Gear was a Super Nintendo racing game by Kemco in the nineties. Both are right, though the Top Gear game has no relation to the television series. It was one of the first games I ever owned for the Super Nintendo, and had a sense of speed rivaling F-Zero. It had a couple of sequels, but only the first game and Top Gear Rally were scored by Barry Leitch, and this is important because the soundtrack for the original Top Gear was awesome, sporting a couple of burrowing ear worms which have stuck with people to this day, leading to all sorts of remixes and tributes on YouTube. Fable III 

So bless me if I didn’t get all choked up when realising that an inconspicuous little racer called Horizon Chase Turbo, available on Steam and PlayStation 4 by Brazilian developer Aquiris Game Studio was not only inspired by Top Gear, and essentially a superior spiritual sequel to the original, but also had the original composer in tow for the ride. And what a blistering ride it is. Citing other games like Outrun for its inspiration, while fair since a lot of ’90s racers essentially functioned in a similar manner, it cannot be overstated how closely Horizon Chase Turbo mimics Top Gear in particular. If you break down the game to its fundamentals, it is essentially about sharp turns and avoiding other vehicles on the road. And while this may sound like an abundantly obvious statement, since of course that is what all racing games are about, the way these mechanics feel in Horizon Chase Turbo is very particular compared to other games in the genre.

A large variety of cars to choose from, each with unique stats and handling.

In terms of play, Horizon Chase is just as old-fashioned: in a sports car you race for three, four or six laps over routes on all continents. From California it goes to Chile, South Africa, Iceland, the United Arab Emirates and beyond. In the World Tour you unlock vehicles and upgrades, whereby you always have the choice between different runs and gain access to other locations via the coins you receive (for good placements and collected extras).Alternatively, you can work your way up to the professional league in consecutive races from entry-level tournaments or compete in a special endurance championship of up to 109 randomly selected races. Why 109? That is the remarkable number of all routes! The beauty of all competitions: Nothing comes from nothing. You have to be really focused to drive to win and pick up all the extras. Oh, and what’s more, up to four steering wheel friends compete in front of the same screen – unfortunately nothing works online apart from motivating ranking lists. Fable II

Outside of World Tour, there’s a Championship mode with a more traditional Mario Kart structure: a set number of races, a certain number of points depending on where you finish, whoever has the most points at the end wins. You know how this works. Master both World Tour and Championship and you’ll get the ultimate challenge: the Endurance mode, which is a longer championship taking in either 12, 36 or all 109 races. Naturally, the latter will take a number of hours to complete, and there’s another special car for doing so: you’ll never be so grateful for the Switch’s ‘suspend’ feature. Finally, there’s Playground mode, which is new for the Switch and Xbox One versions. This is a regularly updated series of challenges that let you upload your times to a leaderboard so you can compare your skills with the rest of the world. At launch, these include a couple of time trial races – one mirrored, one with changing weather – and three regular races with varying gimmicks attached (unlimited nitros, no HUD, etc). As long as this mode continues to be regularly updated it should be a fun way to keep your interest in it (especially since there’s sadly no online multiplayer).

Upgrades and power-ups to collect throughout each race.

Of course, all this would be pointless if the game itself wasn’t fun to play, and that’s really the most important thing to bear in mind here: it’s enormously entertaining. The sense of speed is fantastic – especially when you unlock the later cars and it starts to get so fast you’d swear it was more F-Zero than Out Run – and everything runs at a silky smooth 60 frames per second in both TV and handheld mode. Each car handles like a dream, and there’s something immensely satisfying about triggering a turbo boost mid-turn and slipping through a tiny gap between an opponent and the edge of the track. The car damage of Top Gear 2 is gone, as is the complex upgrade system from that game and its sequel Top Gear 3000, with any of the realism of Top Gear Rally completely obliterated to leave only the heart of the original arcade-like experience intact. Races are short and brutal, and seldom will you find yourself cruising at the front of the line for more than a half a lap since every race is about the struggle to get there, with very little standing in your way to set you back once in front as long as your memory is good enough to remember the most difficult turns each track has in store.

There are also a lot of tracks. Instead of being set up like other racing games where you fight through a series of tracks and try to maintain a consistent rank, Horizon Chase Turbo is set up more like a mobile game (which is fitting since that is where it has been ported and expanded from) with three sets of two to four tracks per region spanning across different countries on the globe. Ranking in the top five places will unlock the next track in the sequence, with each victory accumulating points depending on rank and how many blue tokens the player was able to collect during the race. If the player collects every blue token in a track and places first, they receive a super trophy and the maximum amount of available points for that track. Points accumulate and open up new areas, upgrade races that will unlock speed, boost, fuel, acceleration, and steering upgrades for all available cars simultaneously with a bit of flexibility in how those upgrades are applied, and of course new, albeit very generic, takes on popular vehicles.

It sounds incredible too. Barry Leitch composed the music for a bunch of classic racing games during the ‘90s era, including the aforementioned Top Gear, Lotus 2 and Rush 2. His all-new retro-inspired score for Horizon Chase Turbo is absolutely sensational, making it one of the few game soundtracks we’ve happily added to our Spotify library. The title screen music is even a modern cover of the title theme from Top Gear: a lovely little bonus for fans of the SNES racer. Although (as noted) there’s no online multiplayer to speak of, you do get the option to play local multiplayer for up to four players. Whereas most games of this ilk see serious frame rate drops when you add extra players – usually a drop to 30fps when you add a third player – this one handles it surprisingly well. It more or less keeps a stable 60 during two-player split screen, and continues to aim for it while there are three or four players taking part (though it does stutter a bit). An impressive effort nonetheless.
