Star Wars Galactic Racer’s roguelike racing mechanics is not for all

Any racing game with a high-risk nitro booster called RamJet, is a game you need to play right now, and Star Wars Galactic Racer has plenty of it

Star Wars Galactic Racer’s roguelike racing mechanics is not for all

Star Wars Galactic Racer features roguelike racing mechanics that may not be for everyone. The game, created by Secret Mode and developed by Fuze Games, is set in a high-stakes illegal racing circuit called the Galactic League. Players control Shade, who must take down Kestar Bool, a rival with the help of his mentor Sebulba, from the pod racing sequence in Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace.

The gameplay involves racing through various repulsorcraft, each with unique characteristics and upgrades. Players must manage their boost and use special moves like forcefields for an edge. A notable feature is RamJet, a secondary-state boost that increases speed but comes with risk. Players face the challenge of qualifying and progressing through the ranks, with the possibility of unlocking faster and stronger power-ups.

However, the game may be less appealing to those who prefer more traditional racing without roguelike elements.
