Riptide GP: Renegade Plus makes a splash in Apple Arcade

Riptide GP: Renegade Plus, a futuristic watercraft racing game, has accelerated on apple arcade Friday. If you subscribe to Apple Arcade ($5, £5, or AU$8 per month), you can play this game with no fees, ads, or in-app purchases.

Riptide GP: Renegade Plus was developed by Vector Unit, and you might recognize this game. This title is a remake of a game of the same name released in 2016 on console and mobile. CNET chose the 2016 version as one of the best mobile games of this year.

In this game, you play as a hydrojet pilot in a futuristic setting who has been expelled from the main racing circuit for illegal racing. What is your character’s solution? No more illegal races, of course! With every victory in the world of illegal racing, you get closer to joining the ranks of the main racing circuit, which makes perfect sense if you don’t think too hard about it.

The controls are a little weird at first because you have to tilt your camera in the direction you want to turn, but you get used to it quickly. In addition to career mode, you can also play in other modes, such as challenge mode, quick race, and online multiplayer where up to eight players can compete.
