You better get out your winter parka and a thermos full of hot chocolate because the downhill mountain biking game is a hit. Lonely Mountains: Downhill Megagon Industries will release a gameplay trailer with commentary during Gamescom for its new blocky skiing game. Lonely Mountains: Snow Riders.
The new downhill racing game will be released on Steam later this year. If it becomes a big enough hit like the first one, Lonely game, could be ported to consoles.
The Lonely Mountains titles are racing games at their core, but they aren’t loud or raucous. They don’t even have music. There are moments and challenges to overcome with rewards like new bikes and new trails and mountains to explore. The real focus of the game is more on the simple, serene experience of riding downhill through beautiful polygonal landscapes at your own pace and finding new paths that can shave seconds off your best times. Just like your therapist always tells you, it’s more about the journey, not just the finish line.
Lonely Mountains: Snow Riders It has the same simple gameplay formula but with some added features. Snow Riders The game will offer both single-player and live multiplayer modes with up to eight other players. Multiplayer matches can also be a simple race to the bottom of the mountain or a co-op mode where players must work together to complete certain challenges and work toward the highest collective score, according to the trailer's commentary.
The new downhill game will also have a special “Zen Mode.” This mode allows you to simply take a ride and explore the different paths on the mountain to discover shortcuts and other secrets. You can even pause your snow session and just sit back and enjoy the scenery with your square-headed biker friend.
