The game is set in the year 2560 AD, after a mass exodus from Earth, that has been stripped of all its natural resources and made too difficult to inhabit due to global warming. Most humans have inhabited other planets and satellites like the Moon, Mars, Titan and the other moons of Saturn, while the Earth is now largely used as a place for testing and amusement parks. Meanwhile, a popular sport, called the Solar Redout Racing League, or SRRL for short, the fastest - and most dangerous - racing championship ever conceived, has become far and away the most popular form of entertainment in the solar system.

The game's core mechanics take a lot from older futuristic racing titles: the racers have to pilot extremely fast crafts around long circuits that twist and turn their way through exotic locales. There are four classes, one faster than the other, and there are 7 teams (originally 6) to choose from, each having upgradable crafts with their own quirks. However, what really sets this game apart is its boost system: you have an energy bar that slowly fills up overtime, which can be used for quick bursts of speed or power-ups like [=EMP=]s, track magnets, and turbo boosts.

''Redout'' is a futuristic RacingGame developed by Italian indie outfit [=34BigThings=]. Largely inspired by games like ''VideoGame/{{Wipeout}}'' and ''VideoGame/FZero'', it was self-released on Steam on September 2, 2016, and is set to drop on UsefulNotes/NintendoSwitch on July 25, and on UsefulNotes/Playstation4 and UsefulNotes/XboxOne on September 1.

The game is set in the year 2560 AD, after a mass exodus from Earth, that has been stripped of all its natural resources and made too difficult to inhabit due to global warming. Most humans have inhabited other planets and satellites like the Moon, Mars, Titan and the other moons of Saturn, while the Earth is now largely used as a place for testing and amusement parks. Meanwhile, a popular sport, called the Solar Redout Racing League, or SRRL for short, the fastest - and most dangerous - racing championship ever conceived.

The game's core mechanics take a lot from older futuristic racing titles: the racers have to pilot extremely fast crafts around long circuits that twist and turn their way through exotic locales. There are four classes, one faster than the other, and there are 7 teams (originally 6) to choose from, each having upgradable crafts with their own quirks. However, what really sets this game apart is its boost system: you have an energy bar that slowly fills up overtime, which can be used for quick bursts of speed or power-ups like [=EMP=]s, track magnets, and turbo boosts.

!! Trope faster than ever:

* AllThereInTheManual: The game has a surprising amount of lore, for both the competing teams and the racing locales, which is however explained in the game itself within the ship select and track select screens. However, the backstory behind the dawn of the SRRL isn't explained within the game.
* AnnouncerChatter: The game uses a female ComputerVoice as announcer. Expect to hear "Hull integrity 50%" a lot if you aren't careful enough.
* AstralFinale: The Neptune tracks are set around a space station built by NASA and the SRRL committee above the eponymous planet, and by virtue of being the second DLC track, it is also currently the final venue you race on in the Career mode.
* BoringButPractical: Some of the active power-ups, like the Extra Magnetic Grip and the Turbo Boost.
* CharacterLevel: Your Pilot level goes up to 35. The higher your level is, the more events are available in the Career mode.
* CrapsaccharineWorld: Despite the copious SceneryPorn, the lore doesn't pull back the punches over how Earth has become a locale far too extreme for most people to inhabit.
* CriticalExistenceFailure: Keep that hull integrity above 0% and you'll be fine.
* DeflectorShields: The EPSS (Enhanced Protection Shield System) power-up absorbs collision damage and nullifies the effects of the Energy Drainer and the EMP.
* {{Eagleland}}: Conqueror, a team formed by two American entrepreneurs.
* EndlessGame: Surival mode has you racing through the track while avoiding EMP bombs and trying to reach the next checkpoint before the time runs out.
* {{EMP}}: One of the active power-ups.
* FragileSpeedster: The Sulha and Lunare ships both have a very high top speed and great acceleration, but can't take hits well. However, the Lunare ships have more handling, while the Sulha ships have a better energy pool.
* GlassCannon: The Asera ships have a playstyle that is centered upon their energy pool, the best among all the teams. They however have below-average stats everywhere else except for good acceleration and handling.
* GloriousMotherRussia: Buran. Not only they're based in Russia (as well as China), their aesthetic is heavily influenced by Communist imagery.
* HealYourself: The Repair Drone. If upgraded, it also gives a slight speed boost when used.
* JackOfAllStats: The ESA-AGR ships have above-average stats across the board.
* LethalLavaLand: Volcano, the final venue of the original four, is set around Moutohora Island, off the coast of New Zealand's North Island. The pilots not only race around the volcano, but even inside the magmatic chamber.
* LightningBruiser: The Conqueror and the Buran ships both have amazing top speed, good durability and a strong albeit inefficient energy pool. However, they have poor handling and sluggish acceleration.
* TheLostWoods: The Abruzzo tracks snake around the overgrowing forests and the coastline of the Italian region.
* ManaDrain: The Energy Drainer power-up is pretty self-explanatory.
* MarathonLevel: Boss mode makes you race on all the tracks in a certain venue all in a row, linked together by portals.
* MeaningfulName: The game title itself refers to a reddening of the vision caused by excessive blood flow to the head due to extreme negative g-forces. Said effect is also emulated in-game.
** Buran's name is taken from a Soviet reusable spacecraft programme that was basically their answer to America's Space Shuttle.
* MightyGlacier: The Koeniggswerth ships have the best hull structure and have great handling, coupled up with a decent energy pool. However, they're the slowest team off the line and their top speed isn't much better, either.
* NintendoHard: Par the course of its biggest influences, ''Redout'' can get brutal at places, especially when you race in Class IV.
* NitroBoost: Comes in two flavors: one is a normal boost cast from the energy pool, the other is an active power-up that depletes the entire energy pool for a single massive burst of speed.
* SceneryPorn: In spades.
* ShiftingSandLand: Cairo, which is also the first venue you race on in the Career mode.
* SlippySlideyIceWorld: Alaska, obviously enough.
* StartMyOwn: According to the lore, Buran was kick-started by two pilots who formerly worked as engineers for ESA-AGR.
* TeleportersAndTransporters: All of the tracks have portals that connect them to other tracks. Said feature is used to its fullest in Boss mode.
* UnderTheSea: Most of the Europa tracks race in the massive ocean covered by the thick icy crust of Jupiter's moon. The only exception is Surface Sprint, which is only in part underwater.
* WackyRacing: Duh.
