SSX On Tour

The SSX On Tour continues the series of snowboarding games and focuses on style and audacity. There is no usual tournament structure: the hero builds a career by performing stunts, participating in competitions and rising in the rankings. Between the descents they show sketch inserts that emphasize the mood - this is not a respectable sport, but the culture of the mountains and youth. The controls are designed for speed and flow: combinations of tricks in the air, grinds along the railings and long descents where it is important not to lose momentum. In addition to snowboarding, there are skis in the game, and riding on them feels different: the skier accelerates faster, but has poorer grip on turns. In addition to competitions, free descents and tasks throughout the mountain are available, as well as multiplayer for races with friends. The music is chosen in the spirit of the era, which adds recognition to the game and makes it a time machine for those who witnessed that period. It’s also worth noting that the game has a free mode where you can ride without targets and practice tricks. Competitions vary in type: in some places speed is more important, in others it is the score for tricks. For snowboard arcades, this is a familiar, but working scheme. The project is valued more for its atmosphere than for its realism. For those who miss snowboarding, this is a pleasant option to spend an evening in the mountains without leaving home.
