Gameplay[]
The game is a spiritual successor to the Road Rash series of vehicular combat racing video games. The game aims to replicate the arcade-like simplicity and silliness of the Road Rash games, while introducing more modern graphics and gameplay mechanics. In addition to the melee weapons featured in Road Rash, Road Redemption introduces firearms in the players options for weapons as well. The game will feature split screen multiplayer modes, including the computer-based ones, which is more of a rarity for the platform. The proposed Wii U version would have also featured the ability for multiplayer sessions to take place with one player on the television and the other using just the Wii U GamePad screen.

Reception[]
In Eurogamer's Steam Early Access review of the game, Dan Whitehead praised the game despite its quirks and glitches, stating "There are a lot of problems, in other words, and the development team has a lot of balancing and polishing to do if Road Redemption is to become a genuinely satisfying and well-rounded successor to its inspiration. Yet for all of the scruffiness, rough edges and half-baked ideas, the game works brilliantly where it matters." Polygon referred to the same early build as "a crazier, deeper Road Rash" that was "as fast, crazed and violent as its obvious inspiration." The game's $40 price point for an alpha release caught criticism from some websites.
