Refract’s take on the racing genre has left me impressed
Distance, the neon-soaked spiritual successor to the popular freeware racing titleNitronic Rushis now available to test drive onSteam Early Access. For those interested, you can pick it up for a limited time at a 15% discount.
Unlike more straightforward racing titles, survival-focusedDistanceputs you in the driver’s seat of a slick-looking futuristic racer barreling down the streets of a city intent on your destruction. Your car’s abilities allow you to boost, jump, rotate and even fly as you attempt to navigate through the city’s gorgeous but treacherous tracks. Have a look at the launch trailer to see it in action.
Key features available in the Early Access build include:
I had a chance to check it out briefly last night and was impressed with the current build. For an Early Access title,Distancelooks and feels extremely polished. I plan on getting in some more time with it today if I get the chance, as I’m really curious to see what the ever-creative Steam community have come up with using the included level editor.
Also of note to PS4 owners, Refract recently announced on thePlayStation Blogthat the survival racing title will be making an appearance on your console of choice sometime in 2015. As we learn more, we’ll be sure to keep you posted!
