About Carmageddon: Rogue Shift

The legendary Carmageddon engine roars back to life, as a spin-off for a new era of vehicular combat.

THE LONG NIGHT

The year is 2050, and the world you know is a post‑apocalyptic wasteland. Hordes of nightmare creatures, the Wasted, lay siege to humanity. Every night, the streets are overrun, forcing everyone to barricade themselves in their skyscraper-homes for survival. There is just one chance to escape all this: the Carmageddon. These deadly races promise power, prestige, and valuable prizes to the participants. Most importantly, the champion wins the right to attempt the perilous journey that leads to the spaceport beyond the mountains. The only one left, the only chance to flee this dying world.You enter the Carmageddon as one of countless racers, equipped with little more than a rust bucket, scavenged fuel, and a makeshift weapon. You'll face off against rival gangs like the Autoscum and other rogues in a fight for survival. Each destruction race is an opportunity to win parts and upgrades, a step towards the ultimate escape. As the night descends, the Wasted take the streets, and you with them.

DRIVE TO SURVIVE

The original Carmageddon spirit of vehicular mayhem has been refined and redesigned. We looked at the past and the present to create a visceral, fast and accessible form of combat racing. • 15 upgradeable vehicles – FWD, RWD & AWD, each with unique weight and suspension • Metal‑on‑metal car combat – crash, shove, boost and side‑bash rivals • 13 weapon classes – from shotguns to railguns, all fully upgradable • 80+ perks – craft outrageous synergies for destruction racing supremacy • Dynamic weather & day‑night cycle – rain slicks the tarmac, fog shrouds ambushes • Elite & Boss events – colossal war‑rigs, corrupted Enforcers, and endless zombie hordes• Extensive visual damage model - windshields, hood, doors, bumpers and trunk lid will bend, crumple, hang and detach.

THE ROGUELITE CAMPAIGN

Every Campaign run offers a unique journey through a randomly generated graph.Win Events and smash opponents to gain Credits. Maneuvers such as killing Wasteds, drifts, jumps, and flicks also grant rewards.Strategically plan your route so you can reach Shops. In these safe havens you can repair your car, swap weapons, or install one of the 80+ unlockable perks. Adapt to the dynamically increasing difficulty and conquer elite events and bosses. With branching paths, varied objectives, and ever-changing time-of-day and weather conditions, no two runs are the same.But the Carmageddon ain’t over when your vehicle is wrecked. Another driver will step up, and the challenge will resume anew, in a typical roguelite loop. Earn Beatcoins to unlock permanent bonuses and new content between runs in the Black Market. Find synergies between these elements to create the ultimate killing machine: the Carmageddon never ends

OPPONENTS

The Carmageddon hosts a diverse assembly of marauders, rejects, and lowlifes. Some prefer to rush in front of the pack. Others will chase you and try to bash you out of the way. Some will wait for the chance to unload their weapons into your car. Some are more skilled or better prepared than others. You may recognize some familiar names in the crowd.Corrupt police forces known as the Enforcers impose their brutal rules on those spared from mutation. The Enforcers will force you off the road to strip your car for spare parts and ammo, if you let them.Each area of the city is controlled by a particularly fierce opponent, commonly known as “the Boss”. These are the biggest, baddest, fastest, more armed vehicles that you can find. The rules of the Carmageddon demand that you beat each Boss before advancing to the next stage.Every race is a brutal test of skill, demanding you master driving, melee, and ranged attacks against a diverse and unpredictable roster of foes. To do so, you must work on your car, find upgrades and weapons that combine well together, and consistently perform behind the wheel.

THE WASTED

The Third World War and a series of devastating natural disasters left Earth in ruins. Amidst the chaos, a food supplement called MiVis was introduced to address food shortages, and became a ubiquitous part of daily life. However, long-term consumption of MiVis led to a horrific cellular mutation, transforming people into Wasted - monstrous, empty husks consumed by the supplement's side effects.Now, they have become a mass of unsentient, super-aggressive beings that threaten survivors as soon as the sun starts to set.A lone Wasted is no match for your chariot of fury. Things start to heat up when more Wasteds show up. Boost into the hordes of humanoid husks swarming the track, parting the waves of Wasted like a Moses on wheels! But be careful not to get stuck in the high tide: too many Wasteds will surround your car and smash it to bits with the remains of their raw hands.And then there are Special Wasteds… horrible supermutations of the Wasted, morphed into something even less human.They may explode, shoot you from a distance, lunge at your car, or produce even nastier surprises. They pose a real danger and tend to show up late at night.And then, there’s the ultimate abomination. A creature whispered about, rarely seen; the monster that guards the only mountain pass towards salvation, and your final challenge.🚀 Available now! Join the best drivers in our Discord pit‑crew!

Oh my god, where do I even start? Graphics look like they're from a tablet game from 2008. "Pedestrians" are zombies that move 5 meters an hour, so just static ♥♥♥♥ on the road for you to hit. They are endless. They respawn. They don't die forever or limp around if they lose a limb like in Carma 2. They don't shout or do stupid ♥♥♥♥ like peds in Carma 1. They just disappear into a cloud of ♥♥♥♥ when you hit them and that's it. Races last about one-two minutes. Boss "races" last 4-5 minutes. "Bosses" are just spikey vans with guns. No creativity at all. Destruction Derby levels are just bots endlessly driving in a circle until you either get smacked by all of them at once and ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ die in 5 seconds or kill every one of them by just driving over pickups and shooting them point blank. Destruction physics are absolute ♥♥♥♥ -- there is no weight to things, for example: you can get stuck to an enemy car and neither of you would be able to move. I had to respawn a few times because the car that rammed me literally got ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ morphed with my car into one tortured being and neither of us could move. This happens WAY more often than you'd think. Damage isn't fun like, for example, i…

Game is actually unplayable, randomly freezes and on some levels just doesn't stop making it impossible to continue. Sometimes leading to an actual crash. Gameplay doesn't even make up for it. The handling despite updates to improve it is still terrible. After a few hours the gameplay loop gets stale. Roguelite element super simplistic and not engaging. No incentive to play on the harder difficulties. Not enough content to justify the price tag. No visual customisation. No boss variety. End boss has a terrible design. Even on a heavy sale this is not worth it. It should be an easy 100% though if you can somehow get past the crashes since all achievements can be obtained on the lowest difficulty

Okay, you managed to kill a classic. Congratulations. Graphics are subpar, at best. "Pedestrians" are just zombies. And its pointless to kill them. They just disappear and respawn later. Races aren't even races at all. 1 minute and thats it. Its nowhere near the classics, when racing wasn't even mandatory. Car models are generic. There are even a couple that looked so generic that I though they were just random zombie cars driving around the map. One of the best aspects of the classic game was the destruction model of the cars, which were way, way beyond its time. This one is exactly the opposite. Too simple. Too generic. 3/10.

Game is fun but it diverges considerably from what gave Carmageddon its unique and wacky charm and as a result feels a lot like other gun-up racers. Technical issues mar an otherwise engaging game loop and are the primary reason for a "no" recommendation. The Good: * Flashy graphics * Pretty environments * Satisfying physics * Primary roguelike game mode makes for interesting strategic choices * Gunplay is varied and fun * Boss encounters are challenging without being overly easy or frustrating. The Bad: * Huge stuttering issues, especially prevalent with large-scale explosives. On a high end system the game would freeze for several seconds on certain levels, particularly arenas when reaction time was an issue. * No story to speak of. * Maps are very linear. * Peds are zombies. * No wacky powerups or debuffs. * No freeform exploration. * Overly simplified and linear victory conditions Conclusion: It'd be a decent gritty racing game with bett…
