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

A lot of people are saying that this is not a true Carmageddon game. I somewhat disagree. As a kid, I played Carmageddon 2 for hundreds of hours, so I do come to this game with prior expectations, and to me, the only thing about this game that isn't Carmageddon-like is how it's tied to the track, as opposed to being the kind of open-world sandbox for creating your own mayhem that Carmageddon 2 was. See, Carmageddon 2 was pretending to be a racing game, but it was really balanced to allow you to do pretty much anything besides racing. You could complete a game by driving through all the checkpoints if you wanted, but you could also complete a game by killing all your opponents, and by killing every single pedestrian in the map, which was feasible because the very generous time bonuses you got for doing just about anything essentially gave you infinite time to drive around the map. So for most of the time, instead of working towards finishing the race, you would just screw around and invent your own fun: doing stunts, trying to get on the roof of buildings, trying to kill as many pedestrians as possible with a single collision, combining powerups in creative ways. You don't really have time to do that in Carmageddon: Rogue Shift. Rogue Shift actually is a racing game. You must finish races to progress, and you are on a time constraint, either because there's an actual time constraint, or because you actually are competing for one of the 3 first places, so you can't afford to screw around even if there was somewhere outside of track to go. And yet, despite this enormous caveat about the way in which this isn't like the old Carmageddon games, the flip side is that by lowering the freedom-to-screw-around dial, they cranked up the vehicular-combat and the pedestrian killing dial, which was always a key component of the franchise. That is why I say that I disagree about this game not being a true Carmageddon game. You do less exploration, but the vehicular combat is a lot more focused, and to be honest, I find the mayhem to be quite fun. I see some people complain about the handling. Maybe pre-patch there was a handling problem, but the handing seems fine to me. Overall I think it's Carmageddon, just not all of Carmageddon, and is a decent vehicular combat game.
Una vez mas dando una reseña y esto es lo que me parece: 🚨 Gráficos: Son muy buenos, se notan bien la calidad del auto, se nota la calidad de los zombies, a mi me re gustan 🎮 Jugabilidad: Son como carreras de auto pero version ROGUELIKE, osea cada vez que perdes tenes que hacer todo de nuevo pero con el auto mejorado y muchas mas cosas 🔮 Bugs: No Tuve por el Momento asi que increible 🚧 Recomendación: 8.50/10 A mi el juego me encanta, si obviamente es complicado pero para pasar el rato es hermoso PD: También Subo vídeos Editados a Youtube de todos los juegos y próximos que salgan, también hago streams 💜 Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/gianiix2 💖 Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@Gianiix2

When loosing you always need to start new game. Button "Continue" doing the same as button "New Game". There's no way to replay lost round without completing whole way back to current moment. Dead/Time's up/Second place - start new game. And there's no free mode or city missions, like in classic one. It's more FlatOut with zombies, than Carmageddon. I won't recommend to buy this game.
Старый добрый Rock'N'Roll Racing) никакого отношения к Carmageddon эта игра не имеет.
(過去作未プレイです) [h1]良い点[/h1] - 車種ごとの特徴が上手く差別化されている 各車は機動力や耐久性だけでなく、初めから備えている武器や能力も異なります。 これらを考慮し、他にどのような能力を獲得すれば相乗効果を得られるか、あるいは弱点を補えるかを考える戦略性があります。 - 一点張りが通用しないようになっている 戦闘力に力を入れてばかりだとレースで不利になり、生存力ばかりを優先していると火力不足で時間切れによるゲームオーバーのリスクが高まります。 [h1]不満な点[/h1] - 一部のコースが暗すぎる ランダムで時間帯が変更されますが、昼でも暗いコースは夜だとマップを見ないとどこに進めばいいのか分かりにくい事があります。 - フリープレイモードがない 好きなコースを選んでプレイ出来るモードが無いので、苦手なコースを練習できません。 - 装飾品のカスタマイズが一切出来ない 戦闘に影響する部分には豊富なカスタマイズが出来る一方で、ホイールやエアロパーツなどの変更は出来ません。 せめてデカールと色だけでも変更出来るようにして欲しいです。 - ラスボスが1種類しか存在しない
Купил игру с радостью увидев название Carmageddon. Поиграл какое то время - расстроился. Подумал ну дам я ей второй шанс, поиграю подольше может она и в правду классный рогалик если же не кармагеддон. К моему сожалению она оказалась ужасна, Разработчики даже не запарились о дизайне и моделях авто, нет лора, нет авто из предыдущих версий, никакой связи с прошлыми частями. Очевидно что разработчики не разбираются в авто и не заинтересованы в них, идиотские звуки мотора и 20 передач у авто с монотонными звуками. Геймлей однотипен и трассы одинаковы все, очень однообразны. Сравнивая с Max Damage, там каждая детать авто функциональна, физика крутая, резина, карданы, подвеска функционирует и повреждается, а тут даже катсцены нейронкой словно отрисованы по 2 кадра в минуту.
Carmageddon finally got what it needed, ballistic weapons and racing. I love that they did that. This being said this game seems to be developed by some other company that has no previous carmageddon games under its belt. The game is fun, it's roguelite this time. but the driving feels mediocre, abd the game is very denminding performace-wise because the optimization is poor for lower end PCs. It is what it is, but it's not a bad game, I got pretty addicted to it despite all its flaws. If you are a fan of Carmageddon - recommended!
funny, the original dev Stainless wanted to do deathrace, cause of license stuff they have to called it carmageddon now it's called carmageddon, but it is deathrace... anyway, yes, it's not "original" and i loved the original games & concept. but it's outdated gameplay. they call this a spin off, for me it's a reboot of a loved series, atm from open world track sandbox into a rogue-like racer. i am fine with that. hopefully devs keep the license and try some "open world racer (nfs like) with guns" or some sort of. the feeling for speed could be faster (well, this is like the original games) and there are a lot of missed opportunities to make this a masterpiece, but it's more matured & darker than the old games. but i like this... hopefully the story of carmageddon games goes on...
I love this game as there aren't very many car combat games that are good. This one I enjoy a lot though.
