Speed Limit

Speed Limit ist ein Genre-übergreifendes Arcade-Erlebnis, das niemals lockerlässt. Hier gibt es keine Abkürzungen und kein Entrinnen des Chaos - Speed Limit ist ein oldschool Actionspektakel, das sich auf seine Kernelemente konzentriert: Hart. Schnell. Süchtig machend.

Sobald du glaubst, du weißt, wie das Spiel funktioniert, wechselt es in ein völlig anderes Genre und führt dich dabei durch die goldene Ära der Automatenspiele.

Kämpfe dich durch einen spannenden Side-Scrolling-Shooter, rase in einer explosiven Autoverfolgungsjagd mit Ansicht von oben Richtung Ziel, begib dich fliegend in einem aufregenden Pseudo-3D-Luftkampf und erwarte das Unerwartete. Speed Limit wechselt nahtlos seinen Stil, transformiert sein Gameplay und bietet neue Herausforderungen, sobald du dich ans Spiel gewöhnt hast.

[h1]This is why you shouldn't ride the subway![/h1]
Speed Limit is effectively an arcade runner. Stylized in a pixel-art 'retro' game aesthetic. Developed by the small Croatian studio Gamechuck. They also did a game called ”All You Can Eat” which is an adventure game stylized like a comic strip.

Premise: Speed Limit starts off innocently enough as you're just a guy riding on the metro. When all hell breaks loose and our intrepid hero sets off on the adventure of their lifetime. Imagine “Under Siege 2: Dark Territory” starring Steven Seagall and then it transforming into a different game every 10-15 minutes or so.

[h1]Stages:[/h1]
Technically there are 11 stages, but these are essentially broken into 5 genres:

1-2 — These are side-scrolling levels where you'll shoot and jump on a train.
3-4 — These are overhead car driving sequences. You're able to shoot in eight directions. The four cardinal directions and the diagonals in-between. I did not enjoy these stages, I found them very tedious and needlessly punishing on normal. Mostly due to not being able to see what was incoming.
5-6 — This is when you get to ride a motorcycle and drive with a chase cam. These are my favorite stages. Akin to a Road Rash/Road Redemption/Rad Racer section.
7-8 — These stages are analogous to something like Desert Strike (Genesis) on rails or Cobra Triangle (NES) except not in a boat. You'll fly a helicopter from an isometric viewpoint.
9-10 — This is my second favorite sequence. You'll control a plane flying towards the camera in what is essentially a tube. Anecdote: This reminds me a lot of something like a reverse Sonic 2 bonus stage with a Top Gun aesthetic.
Stage 11 — Find out yourself! [spoiler]Think of LIMBO.[/spoiler]

Each stage has relatively frequent checkpoints. Even on Normal, but there is also an Easy mode available.

Again, anecdotally, the first two sequences remind me of 'Terminator 2: Judgment Day' on Genesis. Where the stages involved shooting bad dudes in a side scrolling section, then to get to the next stage, you'd have to drive there on an isometric map. 'Speed Limit' plays out differently as the stages are all directly connected, however.

One thing I wish I had picked up on sooner is that you're able to control the throttle on most stages. I died a lot because I didn't know I was even able to do it. Nor that it was needed to dodge some of the obstacles. There are however many audio queues you'll start to pick up on.

[h1]Replayability?[/h1]
Your mileage will certainly vary. The game took me about 2 hours to complete on Normal. This is with all my retries. [spoiler]Upon completion, an Infinite looping mode is unlocked.[/spoiler] You can also go for achievements as many can be obtained — well... by doing something wrong in many cases but there are also ones that require more skill to acquire.

[h1]The Gist:[/h1]
Speed Limit is a game for people that enjoy learning patterns and then subverting them to succeed. Boss battles are similar in that pattern recognition is paramount. I think it's priced fairly for what it is — I find it to be quite polished; no real technical grumbles. Though it's stretched on an 21:9 monitor. That said, I wouldn't tell you to not wait for a sale, should you be 'on-the-fence'.

It's got the same sort of satisfying rapid respawn cycle that something like Hotline Miami presents.

I've never been to the arcade, but as a kid I played a lot of flash and retro games. This game scratches that nostalgia itch. Its fast paced, brutal and unforgiving, but it's really fun. Game starts while you are sitting on a train and all of a sudden you're running away from SWAT with a gun. After just 2 levels you jump into a car and after that you change a few more vehicles, it is constantly changing. Train and motorcycle levels reminded me of John Wick and for me they were the most enjoyable. It can be played as a party game if you compete with your friends and try to be the fastest or the most efficient one. The only downside of this game is that it is short. I played demo, and it had less checkpoints so I needed more time to finish the demo, but with more checkpoints in the full game it's a little bit shorter. All in all, if you miss arcade machines and have a few free hours, this game is just for you.

Speed Limit is wicked fun. It would be nice if there were a few more levels but what's there is top notch. Looooove the sweet retro art and the music gets your heart pumping before the action even starts. And then it gets intense. Speed junkies, get your fill.

Short but intense genre-hopper that will have you running, shooting, trainsurfing, driving, riding and flying as you strive to survive and then dominate. Guaranteed to get your adrenaline pumping!

The game reminded me of various games I played as a child. Speed Limit offers various types of actions, so everyone will find at least a few for themselves to enjoy. For me, the game gets better after the first two levels. I'm not a fan of pixel art, but it's made great. It would be wonderful if I had such perfect music in games as a kid. Speed is not my virtue but I managed to win on easy :) Buy it! Buy it!

Take Everything you know about Fast-Paced gaming and throw it right out the window, because this game rewrites the definition.

Great idea! Love the ever increasing tempo, and the constantly changing challenge. This is like a 101 of the best arcade games. A real treat, and a blast to the past. Reminds me of so many great games and all the times I've spend at the arcades. :-)

To start this game has it's quirks that you must learn. Some levels will piss you off beyond belief, however this game is addictive. Every death makes you feel a burning sensation to keep going and tell the enemies to eat shit. I see this game having a very solid speed run scene eventually, it's built into the core of the gameplay.

Only had one issue through my whole play through. It is a pain in the ass to control the motorcycle, even barely tapping the stick will send you entirely across the road.

The game has a steep learning curve but that isn't a bad thing. Overall fun experience even if I was cussing 90% of the time.
