Back in November of last year we talked about a company called Pixelbite Game who were in the middle of developing a WipeOut style racing game called Repulze that they had slated for release onto Android sometime in early 2013. Well it looks like the company has finally finished the game as Repulze is now available on the Google Play store and it looks pretty damn good.
Players will be racing in their floating race ships, hovercrafts, whatever you want to call them. These experimental ships can go pretty damn fast and fortunately for you, you are the test dummy to see how these ships perform. Luckily they can be outfitted with a variety of weapons and armor to help you defeat your opponents and other hazards that may get in the way.
Repulze Features:
• Super-fluid racing action with stunning graphics.
• Quick-to-learn touch and tilt controls but challenging to master.
• 7 hypersonic Repulze hovercraft.
• 24 gravity defying tracks with lots of different challenges.
• Three game phases with varied play:
• Energy Gates, Magnets, Shortcuts, Ghosts, A.I. Opponents, Weapons and Combat.
• Online Leaderboards using Fuse Connect (same as the Reckless series).
• Xperia Play support.
While the game’s theme may not be the most original on the planet, the execution of Repulze is top notch. The visuals are great and the overall game is just a fun one to play. Of course this isn’t by any means a full review, just our initial impression so far.
If you’re ready to get a little WipeOut-esque action going this Friday, you might want to check this game out. You can download Repulze off of Google Play for $2.99. You can also check the game out in action in the video above.
