Radiangames has exciting news for racing game enthusiasts with the announcement of Speed Demons 2, a side-scrolling highway racer that echoes the high-octane thrill of the iconic Burnout series. Originally launched on mobile platforms, this sequel is now speeding its way to PC and is slated for release later this year.
In a unique twist on traditional racing game mechanics, Radiangames has innovated the control scheme for Speed Demons 2. The developer explains, "The controls are focused on movement, not steering. You'll still have gas, brake, and turbo (or ability) buttons, but you move the analog stick (or mouse) up and down to control your vehicle's direction." This approach might sound unconventional, but the team assures it's "immediately intuitive once you start playing," promising a seamless and engaging gameplay experience.

Speed Demons 2 is packed with ten diverse game modes that cater to various play styles. Among them are Pursuit, Takedown, and Rampage, which draw inspiration from Burnout's Road Rage mode, challenging players to wreak havoc on other cars within a set time limit. For those who prefer precision over chaos, the Scratchless mode offers a nod to Burnout's Burning Lap, tasking players with reaching the finish line with minimal damage to their vehicle.
If Speed Demons 2 has piqued your interest, you can add it to your wishlist on Steam to stay updated on its release.
