Article Summary

  • Discover Fresh Tracks: a rhythm roguelike where you ski and fight to the beat.
  • Ski through mystical Nordic forests, battling obstacles in rhythmic harmony.
  • Unlock new abilities and companions in a story-rich, replayable adventure.
  • Feel the immersive soundtrack adapt as you navigate Norwyn's snowy slopes.

Indie game developer and publisher Buffalo Buffalo has revealed their first game in the works called Fresh Tracks. This game is a bit of a trip as you're taken on a roguelike-rail adventure that focuses on rhythm mechanics. You'll essentially ski down a snowy slope filled with obstacles and enemies that you'll need to fight and traverse, all set to a beat that's pretty easy to follow, but you'll also need to make specific choices along the way in order to make it to the end. The game has some awesome tunes in the trailer, which you can check out above, as you are able to choose difficulty options on the fly, like picking mountain difficulties. We have more info below, as the game will be released sometime this year for PC, Xbox, and PlayStation.

Fresh Tracks

Taking place in a mythical Nordic setting, Fresh Tracks invites players to strap on their skis for a non-stop music-driven adventure. As the protagonist, Skaii, players begin their journey gliding through a beautiful snow-covered forest to the beat of an ethereal pop soundtrack, an Aurora shimmering overhead. Soon, however, the path diverges, and players must fight, jump, and dodge increasing obstacles and menacing minions as they delve deeper into the darkness that has befallen the land of Norwyn. As Skaii conquers each new trail, players unlock new abilities, new divine companions, and 19+ tracks of irresistible original music.

  • Rhythm-Driven Gameplay: Movement, combat, and progression seamlessly sync with a dynamic, evolving soundtrack.
  • Story-Rich Roguelite Elements: Each playthrough unravels new narrative layers, rewarding progression with more profound lore and character-driven moments.
  • High Replayability: Roguelite mechanics encourage players to refine their skills while unlocking upgrades and strategies for future runs.
  • A Fully Original, High-Quality Soundtrack: Fresh Tracks features a rich, genre-crossing soundtrack that enhances immersion and dynamically responds to every player's movement.
