Take in the speed and flow of Rooftop Renegade on PC and console

Rooftop Renegade is all about the flow. And the speed. And the opportunity to run like never before. 

Available to purchase and download right now on PC and console, with those consoles being Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch, is Rooftop Renegade from Melonhead Games. 

Running as their debut title, Rooftop Renegade is a pretty damn slick platformer, one in which you’ll find yourself playing as Svetlana, as she tries to evade capture by the evil beings at Globacorp. As you’d expect from a game with such a title, it’s the rooftops of the world in which you’ll find success, flinging Svetlana from pillar to post, as quickly as possible. 

Utilising fast-paced platforming, quick reflexes and some seriously fast thinking, it’ll be up to you to help this runner dodge obstacles, shots and more, making the most of the speedrunning and platforming mechanics in place. 

It’s been built in Unreal Engine 4 and looks the part; full of colour, explosions and more, as you work your way across those rooftops to safety. But of course, it’s not just straightforward running that is at the fore, and Rooftop Renegade offers up a host of skills and abilities too. Oh, and there’s some local multiplayer action in house too. 

The key features include:

• Fast And Fluid Gameplay – Master precise controls and smooth physics to get into the zone. Blast through levels at high speeds while chaining together abilities and making split-second pathway decisions. Pursued by the sinister Globacorp, avoid capture while avoiding hazards and traps caused by incoming fire from gunners.
• Everybody Runs, Everybody Guns – Gear up to take on challenging levels alone or grab some controllers to disrupt your friends in chaotic offline multiplayer Take turns in up to 3v1 asymmetric rounds to set your best time as the runner while your rivals disrupt you, then take control of the gunner to defend your record.
• Mix it Up – Create new challenges with seed-based generator mode. Enter a keyword to dynamically generate a new level from a variety of worlds, layouts, hazards, and enemy combinations. Pick your perfect loadout and dive into a new run to master.

We’re currently mid-point of our review and will let you know how Rooftop Renegade plays on Xbox Series X|S real soon. For now, you can grab a download of the game by heading to the Xbox Store and splashing the £12.99 asking price. You’ll find Rooftop Renegade available on PlayStation, Nintendo Switch and PC too.
