Race fast. Fight dirty. Survive the shift.

DeadShift is a high-speed arcade combat racer built around aggressive driving, drifting, vehicle destruction, and weapon-based chaos.

Take control of a range of customizable combat vehicles and tear through dangerous tracks filled with shortcuts, hazards, jumps, pickups, and opponents who are just as interested in destroying you as they are in crossing the finish line.

Inspired by the fast-paced vehicular combat racers of the 2000s, DeadShift combines responsive arcade handling with modern systems, physics, customization, and multiplayer.

Features

• Fast Arcade Racing Easy to pick up, with responsive handling designed around speed, drifting, boosting, and aggressive racing.
• Vehicular Combat Grab weapon pickups during races and use machine guns, projectiles, explosives, and other weapons to take opponents out.
• Vehicle Damage & Destruction Cars can take damage throughout a match, turning every race into a fight for survival.
• Weapon Pickups Drive through weapon crates to receive a random weapon and adapt to whatever the race gives you.
• Different Vehicles Choose between vehicles with different handling characteristics and upgrade them to fit your playstyle.
• Vehicle Customization Change your vehicle, customize its colors, and improve it through upgrades.
• Dangerous Tracks Race through environments filled with alternate routes, shortcuts, hazards, jumps, and opportunities to knock other racers off course.
• Multiple Game Modes DeadShift is being designed for more than standard racing, with combat-focused modes and different ways to compete.
• Singleplayer & Multiplayer Race against AI opponents or take the fight online with other players.
• Aggressive AI Opponents race, drift, use weapons, defend themselves, and fight for position instead of simply following a racing line.

DeadShift is being developed as an original take on the arcade combat-racing genre, focused on making every race fast, destructive, unpredictable, and fun.

The finish line matters. Making it there in one piece matters more.
