About the Game

In a lawless future Europe, you’re the last hope for high-risk deliveries through hostile territory. Climb into your combat car and race across a procedurally generated continent, dodging bullets, crashing through convoys, and outmaneuvering mechanized death. Every run is different.

Every route is dangerous, but the pay is good.

DRIVE and DESTROY

Employ precision control and expert driving skills to race rings around foes, dodge incoming projectiles, and unleash intense attacks. High-octane action at every turn, slide and spin.

MEGA-VEHICLE BOSS BATTLES

Defeat the lawless factions that dominate dystopian future Europe, and take down their insane, heavily-armed boss machines.

GET PAID and UPGRADE

Tackle dangerous delivery missions to ensure the safe arrival of precious cargo. Get paid, and modify your car with offensive, defensive, cosmetic and performance-based customisations.

EXPLOSIVE DELIVERY

Expand your territory across the post-apocalyptic continent. Only the most skilled Gearshifter can take on the most perilous routes and reach the mysterious Citadel.
