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.

pa flipar, como mola
hanics and arcade combat racing. Pros: Decent arcade-style physics. Satisfying animations. A wide selection of vehicles. Good pacing during races. That said, the game has several major downsides. This isn’t really Carmageddon. It feels more like a game borrowing the brand name than a true successor. In fact, it’s much closer to Gas Guzzlers Extreme than to the classic Carmageddon. The combat system is too restrictive. You can’t switch weapons during a run and can only do so in special garages, which significantly limits gameplay variety. No online features. I couldn’t find multiplayer or even a leaderboard system. Both would have been a great fit for this type of game. Unstable technical performance. Even though the game doesn’t look very demanding, it starts stuttering after about 30 minutes of play and requires a restart. I also experienced around five random crashes during my time with it. Verdict: As a single-player arcade racer with shooter elements, it’s enjoyable enough. But I wouldn’t recommend buying it at full price. Wait for a discount.
[h2]Not Carmageddon but still a interesting bet.[/h2] Well, it's [b]NOT[/b] Carmageddon at all. No eagle, no hawk, no Max. But... still is a very interesting bet. A rogue like destruction derby game with bumps, hits, bazookas and zombies. Actually very enjoyable. [h2]No es Carmageddon, pero es una apuesta interesante:[/h2] Bien, [b]NO[/b] es carmageddon, ni el Eagle, ni el Hawk ni Max. Peeeero, es un rogue like de carreras de coches a lo cafre. Hacer el cabra, disparar y acabar con todos, bazookas, 'toma cacho K****azo!'... Se disfruta
The handling feels heavy and satisfying, the weapon are fun, and the gameplay loop is genuinely good. It’s a total shift from the old open-world style, but it’s the most fun this series has been in years
Ok, I get why this has "Mixed" reviews here on Steam. If you're used to earlier installments of Carmageddon like 1, 2, or Max Damage (Or even TDR2000), this one isn't like that. This is a spinoff game that does it's own thing while still carrying the same brutal and psychotic vibes of the earlier games. I believe that Rogue Shift is a phenomenal racing game in it's own right. This game is a roguelike, I feel like the roguelike mechanics are done well, but not everyone thinks they belong in a Carmageddon game (even though this is a spinoff). A lot of the core of what makes Carmageddon is here. The gratuitous blood, gore, and violence. The rampant vehicular manslaughter. The banging soundtrack. The tight racing action to keep you on the edge of your seat. The satisfaction of turning another driver into a smoldering heap on the side of the road. It's all here. The only difference is the setting, the addition of weaponry and roguelike mechanics (which I personally love), and the fact that you're running over zombies (called "The Wasted") instead of living people (which for some people who owned a censored copy of C1 or C2, might feel familiar). To be honest though, the shambling hordes of zombies feels fitting for the Mad-Max like apocalyptic wasteland the game presents. This is one of the very few big budget arcade racing games released in the past few years, and it's actually (shockingly) very good. That in of itself is a breath of fresh air, but this game also kinda scratches that itch I've had for a good Burnout game for the past decade and a half (even then Burnout CRASH wasn't [i]good[/i]). So that's a nice bonus lol. There's even extra game modifiers that you can unlock once you finish the tournament for the first time, adding even more to the game's replay value. I'd probably wait for a sale (especially if you're still on the fence) but it's well worth buying imo.
Very underrated racing game, the bad reviews are mostly because it is different from the previous Carma games but this game is good in its own right.
Terrible, pocas veces pido reembolso de producto, esto no merece el nombre de tremendo icono de juego que era antes... si pueden comprarlo, no lo hagan!
I really like the game, but I have random FPS drops which totally break the experience
It's essentially a combination of Road Redemption and Burnout, if they were a roguelike. It's fun for what it is, but the price really shouldn't have been more than $15, let alone four times that price. It is not a Carmageddon game as I'm sure you've heard the endless masses crying out simultaneously, but it is a SELF DESCRIBED Carmageddon spinoff!
it is a nice race and wreck game. There are some downsides though: - it's not a real carmagedon like we are used to - the driving is fixed: every time an ai-opponent gets close, your car wants to turn back (and every direction except that totaly wrong way does not work until the opponent is long gone... - No explanation about keyboardmapping (find the boost and shooting yourself...)
