Stories about biker gangs are frequently depicted in regions that are barren so they can be more believably lawless. This is exactly the setting for Road Redemption, and makes for a sensible backdrop based on what happens. It's a period where there is no peace among biker gangs, and news reaches all of them that an unknown assassin has killed the leader of one of the biggest cartels. In response, the cartel has placed a huge bounty on the assassin's head, and now, each gang is racing to claim it. As a member of the Jackal gang, it falls on you to get there first.
It's never easy to translate a larger game to a smaller platform, which is why it takes some creative thinking.
In the case of Road Redemption, it also takes some creative driving, which it pulls off well. This is a fast-paced roguelite that feels good to try over and over again. It essentially comes down to skill and speed, something you can control with and without upgrades. There are risks in being very aggressive as well as being too passive. It's all about finding the balance that works best for you and then reaping the rewards of your actions. Even if you get sent back to the start, the race back to where you left off is exciting.
