Fast RMX Switch is on Sale. Any good?
- Thread starter Narroo
- Start date
One of the first games I bought on my Switch and I loved it.
Side note: Nintendo should port Excite Truck and ExciteBots to the Switch.

It's good, played it for a while during the Switch launch window. I should really pick it back up and complete the game!
It's decent. Not spectacular, but decent fun.
It's good given the state of arcade racers today, but does not compete with the pinnacle of the genre like F-Zero GX or the best wipeout games.
It also happens to run beautifully on the hardware and was a showstopper launch title.

Yep, it's good.
And it's one of the best looking games on Switch with amazing performance to boot.

I know it looks good. Despite being a launch title, I think it's still one of the best looking games on the Switch
It's okay, it's no Wipeout but I'll recommend the game as it's pretty to look at and fun enough to play.
I really liked it on the Wii U. Might buy it again now on Switch.
People always compare it to F-Zero, but as a big F-Zero fan, I think they're very different games. To me, Fast feels more like Sega arcade racers, but harder.
Just in case: yeah, I know F-Zero GX is a Sega arcade racer, I'm talking Daytona stuff.

It's totally competent, but it didn't really grab me. Nothing broken or bad about it. Just for some reason, I can get absorbed by games like Wipeout and F Zero but didn't feel that with RMX.
I hate to say this because it is a solid game and it's sort of an unfair criticism, but I guess if I had to put a word on it I'd say it's a bit "generic" or "soulless". Which is bullshit and I apologize if any RMX devs are reading this! But the general flavor and progression just didn't hook me.

It's solid. I didn't love it, but it's very pretty and has a great sense of speed. My main issue was that I didn't feel all the way in control and some of the track design required a level of twitchiness to avoid crashes that I couldn't handle. And I manage most of F-Zero GX just fine fwiw. The tube stage in RMX with random pillars strewn about comes to mind most clearly when I think of my main frustrations. Maybe I'm just getting old 😭
It's no F-Zero nor WipEout, but it's still a solid B+ tier futuristic racer. It's also very, very hard. So prepare yourself by having a few spare controllers handy.
One of the best looking, best playing games on Switch.
You won't regret it.
I need to give this a fairer shake. It looks amazing, but didn't grab me like other futuristic hover racers. Once I saw it had that polarity/color system, I told myself to come back to it later and I never did.
As an aside, the similar racing game in The Touryst gave me so much trouble. LOL

I really enjoyed that game. It's quality. If you like WipeOut/Extreme-G/FZero, you have a very high chance of enjoyment. Speaking of FZero, The guy who did the announcer voice in FZERO-GX is the announcer of this game. I thought that was pretty neat.
For me the crafts were far too "floaty" in their controls to give me that FZERO feel, which is very tight and precise. Racing felt closer to WipeOut, but there are some FZERO touches in there. Still, it's the best we've got for now so I'll take it!
It's the best futuristic racer on the market, and easily a top-tier switch game. Definite buy if it looks appealing.
I loved it. It has a few problems: some tracks have really hard to anticipate obstacles and the rubber banding AI can be frustrating. But the sense of speed, the boost mechanics and the sensations when in air and trying to land correctly are amazing.
Obviously it's not FZero but the boost mechanics are pretty unique and give it a personality of its own.

Lots of content, nice atmosphere, great visuals. Gameplay relies a bit too much on extreme speed to my tastes - I'd have preferred a slower mode and the tracks being more designed around that. Still, playing all the tracks on the slowest speed was quite fun. I especially love the stormy track with all the jumps!
There had been some complaints about the AI being unfair on Wii U, but I haven't had any trouble on the Switch version.
