Phaseshift Out Today In Early Access

Extreme-G, Rollcage, Wipeout and Kaneda’s bike from Akira (I added that last one), Phaseshift has been inspired by them all, and it’s been put together as a high-speed combat racer now on Early Access Steam.

Developed by Bubblehead Studios, you’ll be racing against others, inflicting a fair amount of damage along the way via homing missiles, laser cannons, and much more. More importantly(!), there’s customisation too, such as liveries – yay!

Key features in Phaseshift include:

• FRANTIC COMBAT RACING – Cyberpunk styled combat racing inspired by all the amazing 90’s and 00’s racers. Featuring fast paced, frantic racing action with intense strategic combat.
• EXPLOSIVE WEAPONS AND ABILITIES – Equip four types of abilities simultaneously for ultimate destructive capabilities! Load up with homing missiles, plasma launchers, laser cannons, proximity mines, gatling guns and more! Strategy and combos are key if you want to quickly dispatch opponents.
• MANAGE YOUR ULTIMATE TEAM – Change team liveries, colours, chassis, race numbers, wheels, loadout and more. Build relationships with fellow pilots and draft them on your team. Research abilities and technologies then set your loadouts before the event.
• MASTER HAZARDOUS ENVIRONMENTS – Race across five vastly different locales, each with destructive and interactive environments. Use track hazards to your advantage to trap opponents and force a mistake. Blow up volatile trackside objects for big damage.

Here’s a trailer:

Available now in Early Access mode, I’ll be posting a write-up on Phaseshift soon as it’s on my to-do list and waiting to clear those tracks so I can open the throttle. That sounded good when I thought it, not so much re-reading it.
