There’s something magical about a game that makes failure feel fun. HASTE: Broken Worlds, the latest surprise hit from Landfall, does exactly that—and then dares you to try again, faster, sharper, and just a little more reckless.

Launched on April 1st, 2025, HASTE is no prank. This ultra-fast, third-person roguelike runner drops you into a collapsing universe, challenges your reflexes, and rewards your mastery. It's stylish, chaotic, and oddly satisfying—even when you're smacking face-first into a laser at 140 mph.


Speed Is the Name of the Game

Every level in HASTE is a race against time and terrain. A deadly “wave of doom” eats away at the world behind you, so hesitation isn’t an option. You’ll dash across procedurally generated landscapes, leap from slope to slope, and aim for perfect landings that crank your momentum through the roof.

Hit the ground too hard or too flat? You’ll lose health. Land cleanly? You’ll get a burst of speed and energy to fuel your ability—like popping a hoverboard mid-air to dodge a missile or nail that perfect arc.


One Run, Endless Possibilities

Each attempt through a Shard (the game’s multi-stage zones) is procedurally generated and stacked with branching paths, challenge rooms, item shops, and random events. Fail and you start from scratch, but each run gives you new gear, new routes, and a better sense of how to not careen into a tree at full tilt.

Collect Sparks as you sprint and spend them in shops for powerful upgrades—things like bonus health, passive boosts, or temporary invincibility. Just don’t get too comfortable. You only get a few lives, and the further you go, the weirder (and deadlier) the hazards become.


Roguelike Vibes, Landfall Style

What really makes HASTE pop is its signature Landfall charm. From snappy dialogue and quirky NPCs to surreal environments and character designs, this isn’t your average high-speed platformer. There’s a story to uncover, characters to meet, and enough personality to make even your 12th run feel like a fresh adventure.

The visuals are bold and saturated, the soundtrack is packed with energy, and the game oozes confidence. Whether you're chasing leaderboard scores or just trying to reach the next boss, HASTE makes every second feel intense (and weirdly beautiful).


Final Thoughts: Worth the Ride?

Absolutely. HASTE: Broken Worlds is more than a cool idea—it’s a fully fleshed-out experience that delivers on its promises. It’s challenging, yes, but it’s also joyful. It teaches you through failure, pushes you to improve, and makes every crash landing feel like part of the fun.

If you love roguelikes, speedrunning, or games that feel just as good to lose as they do to win, you owe it to yourself to check this out.

Just don’t blink. You might miss something.
