About Dead Pedal
You are John D. Pedal, a man who lived a normal life. He had a nice job, had a nice house, and had a goldfish, named Ted. One day, aliens struck from another world! The great worm drained the world from all of its water, and Ted was captured. Set in the Mojave, several bounties have been placed against the great worm. Several factions have gathered to destroy the worm, and claim their prize. John D. Pedal is a lone wolf in this world, and only cares about finding his goldfish, Ted.
Driving and Shooting
Dead Pedal is all about driving and shooting. You'll have the ability to quickly zoom around the world at fast speeds. You will have 2 weapons to choose from, including a mini-gun, and laser cannon. Your goal is to destroy everything in your way, including enemy cars, faction bases, and the great worm. Your weapons can become stronger as you destroy new faction bases, increasing your chance to destroy the big worm.
Open World
You are free to explore whatever you can see in Dead Pedal. Drive up hills, discover faction bases, and find the great worm. The desert is vast, and there is lots to explore. Whether you travel on the roads, or go on the dunes, there's lots to discover.
The Great Worm
The great worm is a dangerous threat in the world. You may challenge the worm at any point, but if you're not well prepared, you'll find it troublesome to defeat. The great worm sits in its home, dormant unless it is approached. Good luck!
The Garage
You can customize your car as much as you'd like! These do not affect any kind of statistics for your car, so you can stroll out into the desert how you want to be seen!

It's pretty terrible overall. Physics are ridiculous, controlling is bad, and it lacks any kind of story, even the training is lazy. Looks neat, the sound and music is better than mediocre, but it is not fun. I would have great time with it, in the early 2000's, but today it just not enough, not even for a freebie.2 found this helpful
Drive without rhythm, or you'll get the worm.1 found this helpful
Not recommended. This has a ton of potential to be a fun action packed adventure. Sadly, it also needs a lot more time in development. For starters, the graphics are okay, but fairly low grade. The handling of the vehicle can be dialed in a bit and the aiming has too much arch. I can get past all that but what holds this back are the various game breaking bugs. Missions and checkpoints constantly break making progression pretty much impossible and it's easy to go "out of bounds" which takes you to the main menu.1 found this helpful
"Dead Pedal" is the kind of game that probably seemed like a good idea at the time, but in hindsight it's one of those cases where the developers should have considered that games don't exist in a vacuum. The idea is this is a third person console-esque vehicle shooter where you drive around a desert and shoot/run over stuff. The result of this idea turned out to be a really weak ripoff of Carmageddon. Yeah, I guess the devs didn't know this has already been done before, but way better. What do you do in the game? It really is just driving around and shooting... aspects that gamers might expect from a serious PC game like meaningful progression, plot, narrative, reasons to want to play etc are all absent here. You'd be better off picking up Carmageddon or GTA:V. This looks a lot like it was designed for consoles, but released on Steam instead by mistake. While this is on PC, it has all the hallmarks and deficiencies of a console game, from the clunkier than needed control scheme to the less than cutting edge graphics. There's 10's of thousands of PC games on Steam, and PC gamers deserve only the best. This might not appeal to many gamers due to the lack of PC-centric des…
It just doesn't function. A shame.
