Hyperbole? Whatever. Either I just don't know how to use the search function properly, or somehow, no one here is talking about this game. How could that be??



Futuristic sci-fi hardcore rally raid simulator set on alien planets. What more do you need? Great physics, incredible sci-fi presentation... It's loaded with unique mechanics: RCS thrusters to control attitude and soften the landing when you catch air, using a drone to scout the stage beforehand to plot your own route and mark hazards, and dangerous weather events like micro-meteor showers.



There's a demo out on Steam now. I played it on a whim this morning and was just blown away by it all. The concept is so well-executed; I've played my fair share of half-baked sci-fi racing games from indie developers and this is not one of them. The people behind it clearly put a lot of effort and care into both the motorsports side and the sci-fi side of the game. The demo comes loaded with a 10-ish stage event that took me about 90 minutes to finish, so there's quite a lot there. Apparently the full version will feature procedurally-generated environments so every event will be truly unique, which should go a long way in terms of replayability.

I'm just a bit shocked by the quality of this game and the execution of the concept. I don't know when the full game is coming out, but the demo already feels feature-complete, rather than some early access title with obviously missing elements. I can't wait to play the full version. Sci-fi rally raid may be an incredibly niche genre, but this game feels like it was developed specifically for me, and it's incredible. But I think anyone who's into hardcore sim-racing or just motorsports games in general should really give it a shot. That is all.

Yeah sorry that's a no for me. If it is good to you then that is all that matters. to me, it looks absolutely horrible. Trying to copy Exo Cross maybe and just getting it wrong, Exo Cross is pretty decent.

Well it's not actually trying to copy Exo Cross. Exo Cross is a circuit racing game, Exo Rally Championship is a rally raid game, like Dakar. It's a time trial based around navigation. The only things they have in common is that they're both off-road and futuristic.

Not gonna lie, that looks absolutely awful.
