Battle Cars Overview
Battle Cars is set in a 22nd-century world transformed by nuclear conflict and environmental collapse from the previous century. The player assumes the role of a rookie competitor in a violent motorsport organized by the International Battle Cars Association.
Gameplay involves progressing through a series of nine distinct levels, each culminating in a confrontation with a unique boss driver. The objective is to qualify for races, eliminate rival vehicles, and ultimately challenge the top driver on a circuit. Players can enhance their vehicle and its arsenal with upgrades throughout the competition.
While its high-speed racing style shares some similarities with titles like F-Zero, the vehicles themselves are designed more closely to Formula One cars. The core loop focuses on combat and progression within this futuristic sporting framework.
