Drive. Destroy. Get Paid. Upgrade! Not only is this the core gameplay loop for Gearshifters on Xbox, it is also the mantra of this new post-apocalyptic vehicular combat game. Best of all, it is available to download today on Xbox, PlayStation, PC and Nintendo Switch.
The Collapse has happened. Capitalism and democracy are no more, and the world outside is as hostile as it has ever been. As a driver known only as Gearshifter, you must deliver critical packages to those in need in the neutral zones, all whilst searching for the fabled Citadel. Can you discover the world-changing secrets this mysterious place holds?
Gearshifters is a top-down arcade shoot ‘em up housed in a vehicular combat game. Your car can steer, drift, shoot, spin and smash through waves of enemies and some terrifying mechanical monstrosities in the form of bosses. Complete a delivery and earn money to upgrade your car with over 100 different upgrades. Take the fight to those that stand in the way of your destination through procedurally generated levels across nine different environmental zones on your way to the Citadel.
The latest title published by Numskull Games looks to offer the same fun gameplay we have come to expect from them with previous releases such as Tin & Kuna and Battle Axe. So, expect a review very soon.
The arcade-action shoot-‘em-up rogue-lite Gearshifters is available to download now on Xbox priced at £22.49. Are you ready to take on all the wastelands have to offer to find the Citadel? Let us know in the comments below!
