Auto Age: Standoff
A ton more fun than I was expecting.
Full disclosure, I am an indie dev living near where Phantom Compass is located, so I knew about the game and was given a free copy. Very surprised at how fluid and smooth and most of all FUN the cars are to drive. I absolutely love the way the little cars handle. It has that perfect “arcady, videogamey” vibe, where teh cars aren’t striving to feel realistic, they are striving for teh best player experiance possible, which I personally think is teh best way to go about this type of locomotion based game. They really did a great job tweaking the cars, and probably my favrit part about teh game is drifting around and boosting into teh air, feels so slick.

This is not a combat-racing game. vehicular brawling, varied classes/styles and weaponry, arenas, aesthetic; this is a car combat game - Auto Age is this in essence, and it’s not too shabby.
In my opinion, the last proper car-combat game was Twisted Metal for the PS3 released back in 2012, and when there are far too few games released apart from the Twisted Metal franchise that fit the bill for being considered part of the car-combat (sub)genre, and to date, as an indie title, Auto Age: Standoff covers the bases to officially be a part of the lineup and not be cringeworthy in 2018.

Post Apocalyptic Mayhem
I should have written a review for this game ages ago. I am completely in awe of this game and I am so addicted to it. I love how the races always seem different even though I may use the same car with their own unique weapons. Every race is so unpredictable and you never know what’s going to happen. This is a good distraction game for me and it makes me feel incredibly happy playing it. I can kill my opponents without the risk of getting arrested! Lol. Great music tracks to each race in the apocalyptic challenge mode as well as various cars with extremely powerful weapons. Some cars are better than others but I like to play with them all to make it even and challenge myself even more. You can play on easy which is not as easy as you would imagine but a good place to start if you are playing it for the first time. I like playing on hard. I love the challenges of the hard mode. What can I say. Good graphics, music, gameplay and interest. I would definitely recommend this game to anyone who is interested in buying it. If you like fun and a challenge or 2, then this game is for you. You need to be on the ball and kill your opponents in order to get the most kills if that’s what you like. There is no escape! I would say that it’s sometimes difficult to play in multiplayer if you can’t get any players to join but it’s a good excuse to get your friends to buy it too! Thanks to the developers of PAM, you rock!!

Post Apocalyptic Mayhem has to be the most underrated racing games on Steam. My family and I play this game every week, I liked it so much we have a copy on both accounts. I realized I hadn’t wrote a review for this awesome game and now I will solve this overdue problem. The handling of the cars is easy enough that when my son was three years old he played this and it quickly became his favorite. There are twelve cars to choose from, seven tracks but the Winter Wasteland is just the first track Wasteland with snow. There is single player and multiplayer. In Multiplayer there is ranked and unranked options. In Unranked racing by time or kills is selectable. There are three difficulty levels. The multiplayer is pretty empty but that just means you arrange games with friends and the steam group for this game. Each car has three weapons and has a nitro boost. A front weapon, a side weapon, and a rear weapon. Use the appropriate weapon to attack cars that are near you. To win kills are more important than placing at the end of the race. When driving around the tracks your car can collect barrels of the appropriate color for each weapon by driving through them to collect them then you choose them when cars are near you. For viewing the rear window pressing down lets one peak out the back window to see how close the other cars are. Sadly there is no local co-op but that is okay as there is multiplayer. My son doesn’t like to play multiplayer too often with me as he is five and likes to win, but it is still fun in my opinion. Buy the game you will not be disappointed! If you are hesitant by it on sale and enjoy a wonderful awesome game!

Road Z : The Last Drive
A nice little arcade driving game from a singel dev.
You drive, and upgrade to get further before the gas runs out or Zeds trash your car. (or like me, like a magnet going head on into every exploding barrel on the road) ^^
You can leave the car to take your revenge on zombies showing them the pointy end of your knife, also upgrade materials kan be found on foot in houses etc for some extra boost to upgrading your car.
For me this game is fun, I like the grinding to get to the next checkpoint and the “strategic” element in balancing what to upgrade and choosing when to avoid or hit zombies to get as far as possible.

Apparently I’m one of only 2% of people who have stuck with this game to make it through the 2nd stage (4 stages total). For 4Gb worth of content, there really isn’t much to this game. The driving is fun, and so is upgrading the cars, but it honestly feels like it should be part of a bigger game. If this were a full RPG with the ability to drive around too. I would love it…however as it stands, it has to little content, way to much grind for what little content there is and I’m left with the feeling that this could be so much better if there were just …more to it

Heavy Metal Machines
Don’t know how did it happen but I played 650+ hours in this game.
With that been said I decided to write my first ever review. For starters, I have to say that I haven’t played much for the last half of the year, but several rounds I played yesterday reminded me why I don’t really want to continue.
I played on European server, so all I say is related to that. Because I belive situation on South American server is very different.
The first good, then bad impressions. The gameplay is very good, machines are well balanced and have distinct features. Even after mastering your skill with a certain machine, you have dozen of other machines which will give you totally different game experiences. It’s interesting to play solo (those games when you play with bots in your team :) ) and in the team. Team play is very important and brings the most fun. So there is so much to learn to become a good player and it seems that you could have spend a very long time with this game, but it doesn’t happen and below I continue why…

The perfect fusion between classic arena shooters and vehicular combat; this game is both beautiful and fun. The amazing dev team regularly update the game with new maps and content, keeping things fresh. If this game can garner a larger playerbase, it’ll be recognized as a timeless classic.

Mechanum wheels let your vehicle strafe - do I need to say anything more?
Yes…
Bloodless arenashooter - possibly good if you wanna play something fast and fun with your lil spawn, if you have any, or maybe even if you are one your self.
Brings back simple fun of an old school shooter not unlike quake, unreal tournament, hldm or painkiller, without being too edgelordy or complicated with classes or rank-ups or lootboxes.
You can also forget your layed-back controller play-style with reflexes of an old grandma, who was in the war, but got hit by a car…with blades and spikes on it…driven by some crazy racer… in distopian future…

Gearshifters
A fantastic arcade shooter!
Pros
-Great gameplay
-Creative enemy/faction variety
-Awesome bosses
-Enjoyable progression
Cons
-Starting a boss fight with half or lower health could be an absolute drag.
-Difficult bosses/sections can have you repeating the same levels far too many times to be enjoyable.
Thoughts
-I feel like the bosses would have been much more enjoyable if you always entered the fight with full health. Perhaps after successfully reaching the boss and dying the amount of levels you have to repeat should only be one instead of two.

This game is Fantastic!
I played the demo before and loved it, so I knew the full game was going to be a treat. I know roguelite is becoming quite a common genre now, but it works perfectly with this game. It is so much fun having to play and earn the upgrades which then in turn make the game that little bit easier each time you play. That for me is the perfect way to get you playing and keep you engaged.
This game is a perfect mix of a classic shoot em up while driving a car and dodging bullets, so a car/shoot em up/bullet hell dodging. There are some great bosses to take down as well which are a lot of fun, working out their patterns and ways to take them down. For me its a perfect mix and it works beautifully!
