Haste is a fast-paced running game where you race to reach the portal at the end of a collapsing universe. Run through an infinite amount of levels where no world is ever the same. Between each attempt to complete your run you have the chance to explore a hub world, gather your strength, meet characters and practice your skills before heading out for another adventure. Each run has its own unique challenges with clues to figure out why the worlds are breaking apart.
My summarised answer as to whether or not you should pick up Haste is: “yeah, duh”. Do it right away. It stands out from a sea of generic roguelites by being completely focused on just a few core concepts, namely momentum, speed, and platforming. Thankfully, Haste delivers in all of these aspects, so what we have here is an incredibly charming game...
Haste: Broken Worlds is the answer to the question "what would happen if Sonic the Hedgehog had sex with Tiny Wings"? And the answer is a must play arcade/roguelike game.
Haste stands out within the roguelike format and will certainly find its fans, but it becomes repetitive in the very moments where it should grow and evolve mechanically.
Haste is the game to go fast. The strong colors, the pressing music, the landscapes full of obstacles and the acceleration system are a concentrate of adrenaline that becomes difficult to do without if you are looking for an extremely stimulating video game experience.
HASTE Broken Worlds is fantastic. It’s a constant assault on the senses in the best way. It immerses you in its world as the player looks forward to the next run. Its sense of speed and momentum is unrivaled, even beating out a certain blue hedgehog.
