Frantic Top Down Combat Racing Ignites the Tracks with Rubber and Rockets!
Russia – October 29th, 2014 — BlazeRush, the new fast-paced top-down racing combat title from Targem Games is now available for PlayStation 3 and Windows PC through digital download distribution service Steam, priced $9.99 / € 9.99. (US PS3 version to release on November 4th). In celebration of the launch, for a limited time players can purchase a 4-pack of BlazeRush on Steam for $29.99, a 25% savings.
In a new twist to the arcade racing genre, BlazeRush does away with the traditional damage
counters and health bars to keep the ferociously fast races in progress. The only way for a player to die is by falling off the death defying track and plummeting to the landscape far below.
Designed with local multiplayer in mind, BlazeRush allows up to four players shared-screen local play and up to eight players online, with a very simple pick up and play control style. With the ‘drop in’ system, one player can start racing against bots, and then as other players join the bots are removed.
The game includes sixteen playable vehicles, all of which have notably different handling and racing capabilities, ranging from heavy tracked crawlers to light race cars and hovercrafts. Additionally, players can choose from a vast assortment of weapon power-ups to use against racing opponents, such as pushing, throwing, stunning or slowing down other
vehicles on the track. It’s not just about winning the race, there is also the constant challenge of trying to knock out rivals while keeping your vehicle on the track.
BlazeRush features three game modes: Race, Survival and King of the Hill. Given the level of madness and entropy in the game, results of each race are often spontaneous and totally unpredictable.
BlazeRush also introduces a skill based element to play with its campaign mode, which allows four player co-op in 53 events and challenges, teaching players how to effectively use each power-up.
Take a look at the new screenshots below:
BlazeRush Features:
- Multiplayer focused: Up to 4 players locally and up to 8 players online
