Nothing beats retro classics with a friend.
Admittedly, Slopes Of War is very straightforward, and there are surely other walkthroughs inour complete guide of the gamethat you’ll need to spend some more time with as you progress throughSplit Fiction’s story.
Regardless, if you want to get the most out of this loving tribute to EA Sports BIG’s classic snowboarding seriesSSX, look no further.
Here are some tips and tricks to shred the Slopes Of War with the prowess of a young Shaun White.
Basic Controls And Tips
Before you drop in, you may want to familiarize yourself with the basics of your new snowboarding hobby.
Slopes Of War is a high-score competition between Zoe and Mio, so chaining together as many tricks as possible to earn a nice combo multiplayer is the ultimate name of the game.
This is a very low-pressure mission with unlimited lives, so just have fun with it. Take note, however, that falling off the mountain or crashing into an obstacle will result in a -1,000 point deduction for each death.
Let’s take a look at the moves you have in your arsenal to rack up as many points as you can on your way down the mountain:
Navigating The Level
While pulling off massive trick combos may feel like your main focus, you do still need to make it to your destination.
Truth be told, getting to the finish line isn’t too tricky, and the unlimited lives and immediate respawns in Slopes Of War make good old-fashioned downhill momentum your only real concern.

Even back in the 90s, gaming was better with friends.
Keep on your toes, as you will have several grapple points and wall runs to make along the way as well.
Additionally, there are sections where you need to jump and grind between several paths of metal rails. Grind on one for as long as you can, and safely jump onto a rail next to you if your path is about to run out.
Some other hazards and obstacles will pop up along the way, too. Tanks, giant drill bits, and general space debris can cross into your path at a moment’s notice.
Again, just stay calm, navigate around each obstacle the game throws your way, and keep on shredding.
You’ll eventually reach your portal back toRise Of The Dragon Realm, and the winning snowboarder will have a dialogue quip to rub their victory in the other player’s face.
From here, continue progressing through the main game, or dust off your PS2 and dig that SSX disc out of your closet.
