Retro Highway Wiki

This game is a salute to some of the great arcade racing games. Games like Super Hang-on, Outrun, and Pole Position. If you have ever played any of these games, then give this a try. Big tip: to get that full arcade feel, hold your tablet close to your face, just inches away. Your on a bike, collecting coins, dodging traffic. You got your turbo boost, and can do some crazy crashes. Think of Retro Highway as one as the home console version of today. You can get the Crazy Taxi arcade version in the App Store, but you get the Crazy Taxi version on your Dreamcast or Steam you get the base game, plus extras. That is what you get here. You can unlock upgrades, new locations, and new bikes which help you progress. Instead of paying a quarter for five minutes of gameplay or one round, this game costs a download, a tap to start, and an ad or two.

I love this game and I have so much fun with it! I love how fun it is to play over and over again and I love how paying to get rid of ads is 100% worth it! There is just one thing. It’s been 2 years and there has not been any content updates. The online and in-game leaderboards are great and keep me playing but the game needs something new. I love how you still fix bugs and other things and I think it’s great but with 2 years of no content, I can only hope more will be added some day in the future. Even if it’s only a few small things, the game needs it. Besides that, I love this game and I hope you keep supporting it!

The buttons for free coins, etc don’t always work. And after one run, when I hit the “free” button, the game completely froze. Had to turn off my pad and start over. You’re gonna have to do better than that. Otherwise, a fun game, more fun than others of this type. The change to different environments (like the desert, where it narrows to two lanes at times and has cross traffic) is a neat innovation and adds to the challenge. Clean it up and I’ll give you a 5. EDIT: in my latest round of playing, not seeing the bugs. So I give you your 5 (was 4), because I really like this game - I’d say it’s one of the best I have, and I have a bunch.

The purchases are nice, a little bit of cash goes a long way. Wish they would offer a motorcycle that is slower... why pay more for a motorcycle that is going too darn fast. Another note for developers: the menu UI is counterintuitive. Might watch some new players try out the game for thirty minutes to see what I mean. When you’ve paused the game, it’s too easy to accidentally end it and go back to menu. Also when your selecting a stage, once it’s selected it should go back to the menu, so you can play immediately.

I love this game! It perfectly captured the retro style so that I love to look at it. Gameplay is very fast paced and challenging, along with the objectives that are hard enough to really be rewarding once you get them. I’ve played this a ton since I got it and it still continues to be fun and interesting with all places and characters that are so hard to unlock. I wish I could find more games like this. It’s definitely straight up the alley of devolver digital. 🏍🤙

This game is a fantastic tribute to old arcade racing games, an exact copy almost. I am surprised this game is not 5 stars. People complain about ads, (I had no problems) but on the side they still say “great game” and if you are going on the App Store and nitpicking about ads, the just download any free games! They need ads, that’s why there free! And people are giving one star reviews to a game this great! Anyway, just needed to get that off my chest, and this is a must-download

Let’s just start off by saying this... I love this game but I have a few ideas that will make it better. 1) When you jump right before you head into the tunnel instead of dying you should be able to drive on top of them for a short while. 2) There should be trailers on the semi trucks that have some reward on it, such a extra coins.

I had a lot of fun with this game. I probably put in around 10-20 hours. I love the retro graphics combined with fluid gameplay. When you get the bikes that handle well, you truly get immersed into the game. Weaving in and out while avoiding deadly obstacles. That being said, getting to the higher bikes is an absolute chore (without $$$). The tasks to earn in game coins are free, however there’s only 10-15 tasks. This may seem like a lot, but you’ll get through them very quickly. Once complete, they recycle the same tasks with higher numbers. So now I have to fly off 40 ramps. But it takes 5 minutes for 40 Ramos to even appear. All in all, I enjoyed the game and would highly recommend.

I love this retro racing app! It isn’t too hard and it’s easy to control. I love all the characters and places you can get by getting coins and doing tasks, though I wish there would be more characters. Because I have all the places and characters you can get, and it’s getting a little boring. Also, I wish there were “power ups” instead of just the fuel thing. And just WHY are the characters so expensive? I know I said I already have all the characters but before that, I hated how many coins the characters costed. Other than all that, I think this is a wonderful game.

This game is very good overall, and has a great concept. While playing this game for almost a week now I’ve noticed how long it takes to earn coins and get bikes. From the start I decided I would buy the amateur bike and grind out the money to get the bosozoku early. With my total of 35,261 coins and the price of the bosozoku bike being 80,000 I’ve done the math and with my average of 80 coins per game it will take a ridiculous 559 games to get the bike. I am NOT going to play 559 games for a bike.

Brilliant. One request: allow for sound effects when playing your own music in the background. Would very much enjoy to hear the rumble of the engine and passing cars. Edit: of course, I know that, but even when I do so I can’t hear what the engine sounds like or the cars passing by with my music playing in the background. There’s no option to increase sound effect volume or it’s entirely absent. ;)

One of the few action games I regularly play. Pros: -Fun, easy to start playing. -Great intro level. -Retro style graphics. -Ramp jumping. -Price is right Cons: -Other levels beyond the first are a little too difficult. If they would tweak the rebound off of barriers to not be so intense, slightly wider lanes/narrower cars or not pack so many obstacles or traffic I think this could be easily fixed. -Their scuzzy ad provider. Invisible close boxes that force unwanted clicks, very violent and inappropriate ads. I have the choice not to see them now by purchasing but I would hesitate to let my kids play this otherwise appropriate game for that reason.

This is a great, addictive and fun game. The only problem is that in order to upgrade your bike you have to pay a huge amount of coins. Earning coins in game is not enough. You have to watch ads to earn coins. This is fine and dandy but for some reason my app started freezing when I click on the ads. Paying to remove ads is a bad deal because the ads are the only real way to get coins. The most expensive bike is $80,000. You can either watch 80 ads or pay $1.99 and play 1000 runs assuming you will make at least 80 coins a run...which you won’t. Realistically you’re gonna earn 30-65.

Seriously, I’m sure there are people out there who mindlessly hit the “buy more coins” button, and don’t mind sitting through annoying and endless commercials for this game, but it really ruins the game. Game play is fun, but not like Alto’s Odyssey fun. It’s an old school pole-position mixed with excite bike type arcade game. Fun to play, but far too many interruptions. I would be happy to pay $5 for the game without all the extra junk. However, they seem to have forgotten that option. As it is, it’s a 2.5 to 3 Star game with all the included garbage. Too bad, as it has potential.
