Description
A retro racer updated for the modern age, Formula Retro Racing: World Tour fuses the pick-up-and-play simplicity of 90s-style arcade racing with realistic physics, split-screen multiplayer, and 60fps performance. Building on the success of the original retro racing hit, Formula Retro Racing: World Tour introduces new tracks and car types for an additional level of depth. You'll race through iconic global locations, compete against other drivers, and try to beat your own lap times. Do you have what it takes to master each racing line, hug every apex, and cross the checkered flag to victory?
History
Formula Retro Racing: World tour is the second in the Formula Retro Racing series, retro style arcade racing games influenced by the classic arcade racing games of the early 90's. Featuring fast and exciting gameplay, crisp low poly visuals, retro soundtrack and high-speed action. Formula Retro Racing: World Tour's predecessor, Formula Retro Racing, was developed by sole developer Andrew Jeffreys as part of his UK-based micro studio Repixel8, producing games for consoles and PC. The first installment of the game was brought to Nintendo Switch by CGA Studio Games, now working collaboratively with Repixel8 to create Formula Retro Racing: World Tour.
