About the Game



Battle your way to first place in this engaging combat racing game. It offers adrenaline pumping, high-octane action and a lot of fun!

Win races and complete the career mode, which spans over 120 events, to unlock great cars, exciting tracks and powerful weapons. The game features 3 racing tiers, with higher tiers enabling higher speed and better weapons.

• MULTIPLE RACING MODES

Hit the tracks in 6 racing modes: Duel, Battle Race, Survival, Elimination, Clean Race and Time Trial.

• UNIQUE CARS

Choose from 7 unique cars, specially built to sustain the challenges of combat racing. The cars performance and visuals can be customized.

• POWERFUL WEAPONS

Equip weapons from 5 different types: Machinegun, Missiles, Mines, EMP and Raygun.

• WRECK THE COMPETITION

Use your weapons to wreck the other cars and gain an important advantage in the race. Wrecking opponents awards credits that can be used to buy upgrades and weapons.

• EXCITING TRACKS

• COLLECT POWERUPS

Three types of powerups can be found on the tracks: Ammo, Boost and Health.

• CHALLENGES

Play fun challenge modes: Time Attack, Minefield and Barrels.

• ACHIEVEMENTS

Unlock great achievements and compete for the first places on the Wrecks Leaderboard.


Notes:
The game is only single-player.

The controls are fully customizable to any keyboard keys, mouse buttons, controller joysticks or buttons.

Because the game often requires 4 or more keys to be pressed at the same time, especially if using manual acceleration, the default keyboard configuration of W, A, S, D and K, L for weapons or arrows and Z, X for weapons is specifically chosen to avoid the issue of keyboard ghosting. This is a hardware limitation of computer keyboards to sense some combinations of keys while being pressed at the same time. Please be aware that using CTRL, ALT or SPACE for weapons might not work properly.
