Combine deadly racing, deckbuilding, and roguelite style to get car battles unlike anything before! Choose a driver, car, weapons, and sponsors to overcome tactical encounters. Adapt to an ever-changing race to come out on top and earn entry into the last safe haven on the Divided States of America.
The game's core mechanic revolves around an innovative deck-building system. Instead of assembling decks from individual cards, players construct their card pools by equipping various car parts, such as engines, weapons, and wheels. Each component contributes a set of cards to the player's deck, incentivizing strategic configuration of one's vehicle.
Combat in this title is turn-based, allowing players to carefully plan their moves. Positioning and timing are crucial, as different weapons have varied ranges and directions of fire. Maneuvering one's car to maximize damage output while minimizing threats from opponents requires tactical decision-making. Managing resources like handling and overload further adds depth to the combat.
As a roguelite, the game features permadeath, but players retain some persistent progression between runs. Unlocked cars, characters, and components carry over to future attempts, creating a rewarding loop of incremental growth and improvement. This motivates players to experiment with different strategies and master the game's intricate mechanics.
The procedurally generated maps, encounters, and car part drops introduce a high degree of variety and replayability. Each run presents new challenges and opportunities for players to adapt their deck-building and combat approaches. This emergent gameplay experience encourages creativity and fosters a sense of discovery.
The visceral, explosive combat is a particular highlight, with players deriving immense satisfaction from watching opponent cars get shredded by well-placed attacks and skillful maneuvers. The game's visual and audio design further enhance this sense of power and impact, making each successful battle feel like a small triumph.
