Bash Moto is an upcoming 90s themed beat 'em up motorcycle racing game

Welcome back, Road Rash. An indie developer is reviving the classic beat'em up motorcycle racing game with Bash Moto - and it looks worth keeping an eye on. As the developer said, "EA abandoned Road Rash, so I'm making my own".

Road Rash was probably one of my first gaming loves, playing through endless hours of it on the Sega Mega Drive / Genesis back when I was young. Nice to see some other developers have memories fond enough to make their own spin on it again.

It's still in development, with a hopeful plan to have it released before the end of 2026. Check out their debut trailer for it below:

From the Steam page:

Tear up the streets in this 90s themed beat'em up motorcycle racing game. Kick and bash your way through a slew of roughneck bikers all trying to claim victory and the cash prize. Competition isn't the only danger, the local police will be hot on your tail.

Enjoy the great sense of speed as you wind down the many long roads of the American west coast. Watch out for the many vehicles, pedestrians and street obstacles that will just slow you down or send you flying! One too many hits on your rider or bike may end your race. Run out of money to repair your bike or bail out of jail and it's game over!

After the race is over, head back at your favourite bar to mingle with your fellow bikers to mingle or take on the next race. Having a hard claiming 1st place? Take your hard earned cash to the bike shop next door. Get rid of that junker and buy yourself a new bike to keep up with the pack or leave them in your dust.

Bash Moto features easy pick up and play controls, a stylistic 2D aesthetic and a unique race on rails feeling reminiscent of classic bike racing games from the past.
