Ride to Hell: Retribution is an action-adventure game developed by Eutechnyx and published by Deep Silver. It was released for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.
Originally announced in 2008, the game was cancelled later the same year. The game was later re-announced in 2013 after classification was shown in the Australian Classification Board.
Ride to Hell was critically panned to the point where it is considered one of the worst video games ever, with very low review scores by Metacritic and GameRankings. Upon its release, the game was criticized for its broken gameplay, poor controls, voice acting, writing, offensive portrayal of women, and dropping the originally planned open-world concept in favour of a linear layout.
In 1969, Vietnam veteran Jake Conway returns home to his family of plains bikers, which include his uncle Mack and brother Mikey. Mikey has grown distant from his brother and shows disdain to his uncle, but is infatuated with his college friend and tutor, Ellie. Mikey leaves angered when Mack refuses to allow him to go to a concert with Ellie. Mack sends Jake after him, and after consoling, they go to a diner. Outside, Mikey is confronted by The Devil's Hand bike gang. Jake intervenes as Devil's Hand member Colt notices Mikey's jacket, causing a chase. The Devil's Hand hold the brothers at gunpoint, demanding to know where they got the jacket, until Meathook threatens Mikey with a knife. Mikey says the original wearer of the jacket, was his and Jake's father, William Conway (who Meathook recognizes as "Toledo" Conway). Meathook slits Mikey's throat, and as Jake mourns his brother he is shot and left for dead by Colt.
Jake survives the bullet wound and is patched up by Mack. Jake swears vengeance on the Devil's Hand, and goes hunting the bikers one by one. Mack helps Jake get to Anvil, who is revealed to be in San Alfonso, where he escapes after being discovered. Jake than goes to Army Officer Tyrell who gives him weapons after proving himself. Anvil ambushes Mack and Jake but escapes after they deal with his henchman. Jake hunts down Anvil and kills him. Ellie contacts Jake and tells him about Dr. Blotter, who does dealings with Colt. Blotter sends him to Fogwood to meet with Colt's lover, Naomi. In Fogwood, Jake saves Naomi from Bar Loggers, the two have sex (with their clothes on) and she later gives him Colt's location - Seven Wells Ranch.
