Battle the world in reckless races as you bash, slide, and jump your way to the checkered flag. This isn't just another top-down arcade racing game. Made by two brothers, RXC is a physics heavy racing game with a traction and handling model that challenges sim racers and is still fun for newcomers.
Players praise the game's physics model as the best in the top-down racing genre. The cars realistically transition between different surfaces like tarmac and gravel, requiring players to skillfully control the vehicles. Reviewers describe the handling as tight and responsive, providing a satisfying and immersive driving experience.
The game offers a substantial amount of content, with 55 race series in the career mode, 672 worldwide leaderboards for time trials, and 8 race courses with 12 track layouts each. Players can progress through the career, unlocking 27 unique vehicles across different classes. Reviewers mention that the current content already provides good value, with the expectation of further expansion during the game's Early Access development.
The game's damage model adds a layer of realism and consequence to the gameplay. Collisions realistically impact the vehicles, with bent suspension, lost wheels and tires, and other performance-affecting damage. This encourages players to focus on clean, skilled driving to succeed in races.
The game's multiplayer mode allows players to customize their online races, controlling parameters such as laps, time, and damage. This flexibility enables a wide range of experiences, from short sprints to endurance events. Additionally, the free-roam mode allows players to explore the tracks with friends.
While the game's physics and handling model are praised for their depth and realism, reviewers note that the challenge is well-balanced for both veteran and newcomer players. The ability to adjust the skill level allows players to find the right balance between enjoyment and difficulty.
