Bugbear Entertainment’s early access demolition derby racing game now has a real name. Since its debut last year, gamers have been committing vehicular mayhem within the mud-strewn arenas of the generically charming “Next Car Game”, but over the weekend the it’s been redubbed as Wreckfest. Along with the shiny new name, Wreckfest gains 18-slot multiplayer, a new oval track in which to hammer opponents, and a European coupe that packs a lot of power in its miniature chassis.
I checked out the state of early access (I hadn’t looked in a year) and this is looking very, VERY good at the moment. Tons of progress. I’m quite optimistic now.
I really like this. For a game that’s nominally about smashing other cars to bits there’s a surprisingly good racing game under the hood.
With Steam Workshop support you can even download some oval racetracks and take out classic stock cars for a race with AI that doesn’t try to hit you at all.
