Gameplay

Redout is an anti-gravity racing game set in 2560 where players compete in the SRRL (Solar Redout Racing League) by piloting one of a selection of crafts on several different tracks.

There are seven racing teams and every team has four ships. Each ship has its distinct characteristics of acceleration, top speed, grip, structural integrity, energy pool and energy recharge speed. The players can customize their ship's characteristics installing upgrades and choosing a passive and active powerup of the six of each available.

There are five racing complexes (and an additional seven have been added via DLC) each one consisting of five tracks. Track design includes loops, jumps, teleports, underwater sections, tubular sections and tracks with low or no gravity.

The game features different racing modes of which the most unusual one is the boss mode, a race on a very long track obtained by linking via teleports the five tracks of a racing complex. Multiplayer is supported online via lobbies of up to twelve players and locally via two players split-screen.

The ship controls are more similar to that of an aircraft and as such allow the players to handle strafing and pitch of the vehicle, the latter is used when turning uphill to prevent the ship from grinding the floor and when turning downhill to prevent redouts.
