![]() It also probably doesn't help that Wreckfest seems to be a bit buggy. ![]() There's just not a very good sense of speed in the game, so it constantly feels like you're crawling along, and this gets reinforced by impacts that only occasionally feel violent and fast. Massive multi-car wrecks can look incredibly impressive, but those don't come along that often because bumping and driving in this game doesn't feel all that good or impactful. All told, there's quite a bit to sink your teeth into and this mobile version doesn't really seem to compromise all that much if at all.Īs impressive as Wreckfest looks, I do find its gameplay a bit disappointing. Each car can be tuned to pretty exacting specifications, and can also be decked out with a lot of different paint options. Speaking of details, Wreckfest also offers an array of customization options beyond visual fidelity. Even on mobile devices, the level of detail on display to show this destruction is really impressive, though your mileage can vary with regard to frame rate and rendering resolutions depending on what model device you're playing on. There are also some events that aren't even races, but rather are like a demolition derby where everyone drives around an arena hitting each other until only one driver is left with a driveable vehicle.Īlong with the encouragement to smash up the competition, Wreckfest rewards you with some impressive damage modeling to bend, scrape, and peel off nearly every facet of every vehicle until they are barely recognizeable. The primary twist (and what Wreckfest hangs its hat on) is that in all of these events focus on your ability to shunt other drivers into walls, force them to spin out, etc. You start with access to a limited set of vehicles to choose from that you can take into single races or use in a single-player campaign, and as a result of participating you gradually build up currency and earn unlocks that give you access to more vehicles and customization options. Wreckfest is largely set up like a very typical racing game. ![]() As cool as all of it can look, though, Wreckfest rarely feels very good, which is the core issue with the game and overall experience. With an impressive physics engine and detailed modeling, everything from the ride-on lawn mowers to giant harvesters smash up really nicely. Really not enough content to be worth more than £10 for me.As its name implies, Bugbear's Wreckfest is all about vehicular wreckage. I imagine there's titles out there that do destruction derby better, and racing and the CaRPG stuff better as well. The tracks are decent enough, but there's a few that are very basic and over within minutes. I believe there's a lot of DLC out there, that I haven't touched, nor own - as it mainly seemed to be specific cars here and there - nothing really too quirky or wacky. Both tuning and upgrades are a nice addition, though. ![]() Tuning: having low gearing (faster acceleration) is what I always go for, as the tracks don't really contain enough straights for top speeds to really come into play. well it's simply buy the best you can afford and don't really think about it. There's *some* of those available, but very few are really in each section. 70% PCIt's fairly good for what it is, but it's much more of a racer with destruction rather than a proper destruction derby.
