Steam reviews

What players say

Players largely recommend this early-access car combat game for its fun, responsive driving and shooting, though many find the loop repetitive and the content thin for now.

Many players enjoy the arcade driving and shooting, describing the handling, weight and satisfying explosions, and the car customisation with weapon and body upgrades that keeps them experimenting. Its retro look, with PS1-style graphics and optional CRT filters, and its Mad Max and Twisted Metal atmosphere win praise, and the planned co-op mode is widely welcomed. Complaints centre on a repetitive loop of driving around and shooting similar enemies, a large but empty desert with few landmarks, few weapon types, and missions and bosses that feel alike. Some players mention wonky physics, a memory leak that drops frame rates over long sessions, and a weak soundtrack. Recent reviews are more mixed and more often say the content runs out quickly, though many still recommend it as a short, casual pickup.

Praised

  • Fun driving and shooting

    Players describe the vehicle handling as smooth and weighty, and the gunplay and explosions as satisfying and chaotic.

    Many players
  • Vehicle customisation

    Upgrading bodies, weapons, suspensions and parts between battles gives players a reason to keep building and testing new cars.

    Many players
  • Retro look and atmosphere

    The PS1-style graphics, CRT filters and dusty, post-apocalyptic mood evoke Twisted Metal and Mad Max and feel distinctive.

    Many players
  • Co-op play

    Players who have tried the co-op update say playing with friends makes the game much more enjoyable.

    Some players

Criticised

  • Repetitive gameplay loop

    Players say the core of driving around and shooting similar enemies quickly becomes monotonous, with little variety in missions.

    Many players
  • Empty open world

    The large desert map has few landmarks, towns or obstacles, and players feel it lacks places to explore or tactical variety.

    Many players
  • Limited weapons and content

    Players want more weapon types, abilities, race modes and boss variety, and say the current content is thin for the price.

    Many players
  • Technical problems

    Players report wonky physics, a memory leak that lowers frame rates after long sessions, and a weak soundtrack and sound effects.

    Some players
Who it suits
Players who like arcade car combat in the style of Twisted Metal or Mad Max, and who want a short, casual game to play alone or with a friend, will probably enjoy it.
Who should skip it
Players who want deep mechanics, a strong story or a lot of content should skip it for now, as many find it repetitive and its content thin.

Short vs. long playtime: Players with more hours tend to notice the repetition and the empty map more strongly, while newer players focus on the driving and shooting fun.
