Haste (v1.11.c)

A collapsing multiverse turns every sprint into a desperate escape, and Haste: Broken Worlds makes momentum feel like both your greatest weapon and your most fragile resource. Playing as Zoe, you tear across surreal landscapes that are literally coming apart beneath you, chasing the next exit before a bad landing or missed route ends the attempt. It is a third-person speed-running roguelite with the bright, readable style of an arcade racer, but its pressure comes from precision platforming and the constant threat of failure. The mood stays energetic and hopeful rather than grim, helped by a friendly cast that gives the apocalypse some personality.

Each run asks you to maintain speed through jumps, slopes, hazards, and sudden turns, with clean landings feeding your momentum while clumsy ones leave you vulnerable. Four movement-focused abilities expand your options, letting skilled players recover from mistakes, reach safer lines, or push risky shortcuts. Levels generate anew as you work through ten Shards, and every Shard demands a complete clear within a limited pool of lives before the next one opens. Sparks earned along the way can be spent at shops on more than 90 items, allowing builds centered on raw speed, survivability, damage, luck, and other useful modifiers; bosses and escalating environmental threats break up the standard races.

What separates Haste from a typical racing game is its emphasis on flow rather than lap times: reading terrain at extreme speed feels closer to a kinetic platformer than driving a vehicle. Procedural stage layouts keep repeated attempts unpredictable, while item combinations give failed runs a useful experimental edge instead of making them feel wasted. An unlockable endless mode adds a strong option for players who simply want to test their movement mastery without the campaign’s structure. Fans of roguelites such as Risk of Rain 2 and speed-focused platformers like Sonic will find a compelling hybrid here, and newcomers can enjoy it too if they are willing to learn that reckless speed is never as effective as controlled momentum.
