Futuristic Arcade Racer Riptide GP: Renegade Jets onto Nvidia Shield

Featuring very detailed high-definition visuals and effects, Riptide GP: Renegade puts players in the role of a hydro jet racer who has been framed and banned from the professional Riptide GP league. In order to restore your reputation as the best racer on the planet you must compete in illegal races around the city. Since the races you find yourself in are not sanctioned, you will not only have to race against other participants but also evade the police who have their own hydro jet bikes. The combination of being both a racer and a fugitive is one of the things that makes Riptide GP: Renegade a refreshingly different take on traditional arcade-style racing.

In Riptide GP: Renegade, races take place in large futuristic cities with gleaming skylines of glass, steel and verdant city parks. At night you will find yourself racing around a huge neon-lit fairground. However, other locations present you with derelict urban spaces with streets flooded due to a natural disaster. You’ll also find yourself racing through industrial compounds while fighter jets scream overhead raining bombs on the surrounding architecture.

There’s a slew of spectacular tricks you can pull off in Riptide GP: Renegade including grinds and flips with more becoming available as you progress in the game. By successfully pulling off stunts you gain a speed boost so the more complicated tricks you perform, the better your chances of success. Winning in Riptide GP: Renegade not only gets you more XP but also cash rewards you can use to upgrade your ride and add custom designs to it. You can also unlock new hydro jets by defeating specific opponents during the game’s many boss fights.

Riptide GP: Renegade provides a number of different event types to play through. In addition to traditional races, there are elimination rounds, freestyle events, time trials and a challenge mode in which you can attempt to top other players’ high scores.

It packs an large, fully-featured racing experience, and even when you’ve completed the single-player mode you can continue on with the racing action with other players in multiplayer. Take Riptide GP: Renegade online and you can play against seven other players in each race. Four players, each with their own Shield controller, can also compete against each other in local multiplayer.

Riptide GP: Renegade is now available to download on Google Play for Nvidia Shield for $9.99.
