Developer Caged Element has launched a Kickstarter campaign<\/u><\/a> for its planned Grip: Combat Racing sequel, Grip XR. A demo for the game is available to download now on Steam.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

A scorchingly fast combat racer, Grip: Combat Racing and Grip XR are spiritual successors to the long-defunct Rollcage series.<\/p>\n

\u201cGrip XR\u2019s driving is unlike other racing games thanks to its big-wheeled, flippable cars that can drive on both sides while going incredibly fast,\u201d explains Caged Element via the Grip XR Kickstarter. \u201cCars in this game can hit speeds of over 1000km\/h, all while blazing through twisting tracks with opponents trying to blast them into oblivion.\u201d
\u201cWhile easy to pick up and play, the car’s movement mechanics open a wide range of opportunities to pull off advanced maneuvers and stunts. The levels in this game will encourage the craziest use of the vehicles, and will have multiple paths for players to experiment with.\u201d<\/p>\n

A new mechanic for Grip XR will be \u201cCrank\u201d, which is described as auxiliary boosters attached to each side of your vehicle that can be activated to flip your car instantly left or right, \u201cletting you pull off quick and steezy maneuvers.\u201d Players will be able to use Crank to instantly flip onto walls, reach other surfaces, and boost to shortcuts.<\/p>\n

Grip XR will also feature an expanded version of the Carkour mode from Grip, with level editor tools.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve already developed these features for our previous game Warhammer 40,000: Speed Freeks, which has a flexible and easy-to-use level editor and workshop,\u201d explains the studio. \u201cWe\u2019ll be using the same system from that game, but improving and expanding on it.\u201d<\/p>\n
