Road Defense Racing Launches on Steam, Expanding the Series Into Car Combat
Minicactus Games expands its Road Defense universe into a new genre with a car combat racer that retains the hostile world of its predecessor.
Reporting from 1 source: Game Spark.
Minicactus Games has released Road Defense Racing, a top-down car combat game set in the same world as 2023's Road Defense: Outsiders. Players race armed vehicles while spectators attack from the sidelines. The game is available on Steam at a launch discount.
The shift from roguelike tower defense to vehicular combat marks a genre pivot for the series, but the setting remains consistent: a lawless land where even spectators are armed. Players earn funds by destroying rivals and objects, then spend them on upgrades like engines, tires, nitro, and armor. The course itself is dangerous, with oil, puddles, and boost areas adding to the chaos. Road Defense Racing is available on Steam for 530 yen, with a 40% discount until July 28.
