Skip it if you…

Our take on Race Arcade
The broad mix of vehicles, modes, multiplayer, and track creation comes at the cost of a narrowly focused racing structure. Players looking for a dedicated simulation of one vehicle type may find the varied handling models less specialized.
What is Race Arcade?
Race Arcade is a top-down racing game with a retro presentation, more than 100 tracks, and six vehicles with different handling models, including a sports car, tractor, and UFO.
Single-player play includes single races, time trials, and vehicle-specific career modes. Online races support up to 10 players, while local multiplayer supports up to six players on one screen or keyboard. A track editor uses the same tools as the developers and connects to Steam Workshop for sharing custom tracks. Vehicle color choices provide 60 options across the available cars. The game combines short races, lap-record attempts, career progression, online competition, local sessions, and user-created track content.
