For anyone who fondly remembers the golden age of over-the-top arcade snowboarding, a new contender has just dropped onto the Xbox slopes in the form of Slopecrashers.
Slopecrashers, a chaotic and exhilarating new party game is now available to purchase and play on Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S. From those at byteparrot, it is available right now for £14.49.
A New Era of Arcade Snowboarding
Inspired by arcade racing classics but powered by a next-gen physics engine, Slopecrashers is here to bring back that nostalgic vibe, inviting you to race, perform ridiculous stunts, and chain massive combos with a chaotic cast of customisable animal riders.
Slopecrashers is all about easy-to-play, exhilarating-to-master snowboarding mayhem. You’ll hit the slopes as one of a number of animal riders, competing in high-octane races and trick runs where anything goes.
The core of the gameplay is accessible arcade action. You can perform ridiculous stunts, chain together huge combos, and unleash insane speed boosts to leave your rivals in the dust (or snow).
A Party on the Slopes
This is a game built for fun with friends. You can sit side-by-side in 4-player split-screen for some classic couch competition, or challenge up to 8 friends in online multiplayer. But this isn’t just a straight race; you can use jetpacks, grappling hooks, and rocket thrusters to outsmart your rivals, and collect a variety of power-ups to unleash chaos with explosions, moles, and more!
If you’re feeling chill, you can even opt for item-free or opponent-free modes to just enjoy the ride.
Whatever, you can be sure that the action never cools down, as you’ll shred across 20 unique courses set in a variety of wild landscapes. Get ready to carve through snowy peaks, sunny tropical islands, and even futuristic cyberpunk skylines.
Echoes of the Deadly Descents of SSX
It’s impossible to see a game like Slopecrashers and not think of the undisputed king of arcade snowboarding, SSX. In our retrospective on the deadly descents of SSX, we remembered a series that defined over-the-top, stylish, and utterly fun snowboarding action.
While Slopecrashers brings its own unique cartoony, animal-based chaos to the table, it’s clearly aiming to capture that same spirit of high-flying, combo-chaining, adrenaline-fueled fun that has been missing for far too long.
