How it feels

Building and testing custom vehicles with detailed physics, then watching them clash and shatter in combat.

What players say

Players largely call it abandoned, with development stopped and the campaign unfinished. The core building and physics are praised in concept but described as janky, buggy, and prone to uncontrolled drifting. Comparisons to TerraTech and Sprocket are common, with many advising to play those instead. A few players enjoy the challenge and die-punk setting despite the flaws.
