“Absolutely fantastic. A great vehicular combat game that feels like the bastard lovechild of World of Tanks and Mario Kart. Nails the Orky flavour incredibly well, with all the vehicles and Ork characters being loving…”
“Seems like a really good game but the player base is dead. I got it for like a dollar on G2A so it was worth it. Definitely would be good with a small group of friends. Its very polished visual wise. I do not know how…”

“Could've been a fun game if it had matchmaking rather than servers, or some sort of campaign”
“Got it for free on Early Access. Was a fun game, but even when it was free it was mostly bots playing, no real players. Now the game is paid, it's only hope is crossplay with upcoming PS5 release.”

“This game deserves more recognition. Literally modern day Twisted Metal (an icon of classic gaming) and it went completely unappreciated. Unfortunately, the devs for some reason thought that changing it from F2P to $20…”
“Good game that barely has a player base. Would recommend only on sale or when they get crossplay with consoles.”

It hurts me to give this a bad review, but I cannot in good faith recommend anyone pick up the game at this point in its' life. The gameplay itself is awesome and a lot of fun. The problem is there…”
