Evaluation

Battle Riders launched on April 26, 2017 as a complete, single-player combat racing game. The developer shipped two small post-launch patches in the days immediately following release — a minor bug fix on April 29, 2017 and a feature patch on May 7, 2017 that unlocked challenge modes and made a few track and gameplay adjustments. After May 7, 2017, the developer has made no further communications or updates of any kind. The store description presents the game as a fully featured product with a defined set of cars, tracks, weapons, and modes — there is no mention of planned content, a roadmap, DLC, or ongoing development. There are no DLC listings and no announcements of future content. The game launched as a finished product, received two small polish patches shortly after release, and has been content-complete ever since.
Evidence
Feature patch unlocking all challenge modes from the start, adding two more starting tracks, and making minor gameplay improvements. This is the last developer communication on record.

About this game



Battle your way to first place in this engaging combat racing game. It offers adrenaline pumping, high-octane action and a lot of fun!

Win races and complete the career mode, which spans over 120 events, to unlock great cars, exciting tracks and powerful weapons. The game features 3 racing tiers, with higher tiers enabling higher speed and better weapons.

• MULTIPLE RACING MODES

Hit the tracks in 6 racing modes: Duel, Battle Race, Survival, Elimination, Clean Race and Time Trial.

• UNIQUE CARS

Choose from 7 unique cars, specially built to sustain the challenges of combat racing. The cars performance and visuals can be customized.

• POWERFUL WEAPONS

Equip weapons from 5 different types: Machinegun, Missiles, Mines, EMP and Raygun.

• WRECK THE COMPETITION

Use your weapons to wreck the other cars and gain an important advantage in the race. Wrecking opponents awards credits that can be used to buy upgrades and weapons.

• EXCITING TRACKS

Blast your way to greatness on 9 tracks across 3 different environments. Each track also features a reversed version, for a total of 18 tracks.

• COLLECT POWERUPS

Three types of powerups can be found on the tracks: Ammo, Boost and Health.

• CHALLENGES

Play fun challenge modes: Time Attack, Minefield and Barrels.

• ACHIEVEMENTS

Unlock great achievements and compete for the first places on the Wrecks Leaderboard.


Notes:
The game is only single-player.

The controls are fully customizable to any keyboard keys, mouse buttons, controller joysticks or buttons.

Because the game often requires 4 or more keys to be pressed at the same time, especially if using manual acceleration, the default keyboard configuration of W, A, S, D and K, L for weapons or arrows and Z, X for weapons is specifically chosen to avoid the issue of keyboard ghosting. This is a hardware limitation of computer keyboards to sense some combinations of keys while being pressed at the same time. Please be aware that using CTRL, ALT or SPACE for weapons might not work properly.

This game is a re-mastered version of Battle Riders for mobile, having all aspects improved upon. The most important changes are:
- improved all graphics and special effects
- 3d models with 10x more polygons
- higher texture resolutions from the cars and weapons to the tracks and skies
- reworked shaders for materials, special effects and screen filters
- higher quality real-time shadows and lighting
- twice the rendering distance
- better anti-aliasing
- 4k resolution support
- 60 fps support
- improved controls and physics
- many changes to gameplay elements
- new game hud and menus
- better sound and 10 music tracks
