The adrenaline is pumping as Caged Element, the visionary developers behind Grip: Combat Racing, have unleashed a Kickstarter campaign for its highly-anticipated sequel, Grip XR. Ready to download right now on Steam, this pulse-pounding combat racer promises to deliver an exhilarating ride with big-wheeled, flippable cars that can drive on both sides while reaching jaw-dropping speeds over 1000km/h. Players will engage in mind-blowing races through twisting tracks filled with opponents eager to blast them off the road. The sequel's innovative mechanics include "Crank," auxiliary boosters that let you instantly flip your car left or right for quick, stylish maneuvers. Flip onto walls, reach other surfaces, and boost to shortcuts using this powerful new ability! Grip XR also features an expanded Carkour mode with level editor tools similar to those developed for Warhammer 40,000: Speed Freeks. Grip XR promises a wider array of weapons and improved track design compared to its predecessor, addressing common complaints about the original's tracks. The creators assure us that Grip XR's racetracks will have better flow, be less punishing, and require skilled driving while minimizing dead-stop obstacles and falling off the track – unless it's for higher difficulty maps. Originally launched in 2018 after a cancelled Kickstarter campaign and a stint in Steam Early Access, Grip: Combat Racing was conceived when Rollcage enthusiast Chris Mallinson managed to track down programmer Robert Baker from the original Rollcage development team at Attention to Detail. First released on PlayStation and PC back in 1999 and 2000, the original Rollcage and Rollcage Stage II are legendary titles in the racing genre. Join the Kickstarter campaign now and prepare for an unforgettable ride with Grip XR – the spirit of Rollcage reborn!
