Short description
The lost highway awaits you to take you beyond the horizon. Relax and let the sounds of synthwave open the way into the realm of neon - a world of revived imagination and fantasy, more real than reality itself.
About this game
FEEL THE RHYTHM OF THE NEON ROAD Synthwave Burnout is an atmospheric arcade racing game inspired by classic science fiction and the unmistakable neon aesthetics of the 1980s. Take control of a futuristic supercar, build up speed, and race along neon-soaked highways. Music, motion, and visuals merge into one continuous experience, with every road flowing to the rhythm of synthwave. But you are no longer alone on the track. Your opponents are now fully fledged participants in every race. Their vehicles physically interact with the road, your car, and one another. Rivals can block overtaking attempts, push you off your racing line, trigger dangerous collisions, and turn every run into an unpredictable battle for control of the track. SPEED IS YOUR GREATEST RESOURCE In Synthwave Burnout , movement is about more than simply reaching the finish line. Your supercar is equipped with a unique generator that draws energy from the surrounding world while the vehicle is in motion. The better you control the car and the longer you maintain your speed, the stronger the connection between the vehicle, the road, and the music becomes. Learn to read the track, avoid dangerous collisions, and preserve your momentum—even during the most intense moments of the race. PHYSICS-DRIVEN OPPONENTS Your rivals are no longer simple scripted obstacles. Every opponent exists as a physical presence on the track. Their vehicles react to collisions, alter your trajectory, interfere with overtaking attempts, and can even crash into one another. Thanks to the completely reworked opponent movement system: Collisions feel more natural and impactful Races are tighter and more dynamic Opponent behaviour is less predictable Every mistake can change the outcome of a race Player vehicle physics and stability have been improved Even a familiar track can unfold in a completely different way every time you race. CATCH THE SOUNDWAVE Once your supercar reaches full speed, the neon highway and the music begin to flow as one. A powerful retro-wave and synthwave soundtrack accompanies every race, heightening the sensation of speed and placing you inside a classic 1980s science-fiction movie. T…
