- Have you seen Furiosa: The Mad Max Saga? - 28 May 2024
Hello Drivers! What a lovely day! Long time no see! We’d like to stop here because we noticed an exciting movie title currently ruling the cinema. Do you know what we mean? It is one of the two biggest inspirations for Death Roads games. And, of course, we are talking about Mad Max. Have you seen the new Furiosa yet? Is it good? The Polish premiere occurred last Friday, so we are eager to know if it is worth going to the cinema. Let us know! Mad Max in Death Roads - inspirations and insights Our post-apocalyptic wastelands are full of dangers and challenges that we created, heavily drawing from the raw landscapes of the iconic movie we mentioned above. Races are not just about speed – they are life-and-death battles. Shooting, ramming, and explosions add adrenaline to every match. We wanted to replicate the sense of brutality and action that creates something extraordinary in the Mad Ma…

- Death Roads: Tournament - Final Update Changelog - 15 November 2023
First of all, thanks for all your feedback folks! With it, we’ve been able to rework a lot of balance and difficulty issues. We’ve also added a bunch of new stuff that hopefully will improve your game experience and let you blow up your foes in new exciting ways. Let’s run through the details below: Major Changes Flexible movement range - You can now choose a distance you want to travel while performing movement actions stronger than 1. You can also skip any move action entirely while playing a card. This allows for more freedom with positioning. Handling regeneration - Enemies now regenerate handling at the start of the Player’s turn instead of their own. This way you can now limit the amount of cards the enemies will play during their turn, by reducing their handling without making them skid. Weapon range highlights - When hovering over an enemy vehicle, you can now see the potential…

- Introducing Armor: your vehicle's new best friend - 27 April 2023
Drivers! We're thrilled to announce the latest addition to our vehicular mayhem extravaganza: the Armor! We've strapped on some heavy steel plating to your rides, ensuring that you'll be able to withstand the fiercest battles in the post-apocalyptic wasteland. What does the armor say? So, what exactly does this new stat do? Well, think of Armor as your trusty shield against the perils of the harsh world. It's here to soak up all those nasty blows that would otherwise wreak havoc on your precious vehicle's Condition. Keep in mind, it's a component stat, not a card effect (Armor=/=Block) so you can pick parts with Armor to be… armored! As long as your Armor value is greater than zero, every bit of damage aimed at your Condition will be dutifully absorbed by your rugged Armor. But hold on; there's more! Status Effect Block has higher priority than Armor. Once your Block has done its heroic…

- Happy Easter! Curious about the update and roadmap? - 7 April 2023
Death Roads: Tournament kicked off last week, and, of course, it was not without fail start. Fortunately, our brave mechanics repaired the car, which finally stood on the starting line. Well, off we went, and you along with us, for which we thank you sincerely. This week was a real no-holds-barred ride.

Thank you all for being with us so far. However, this is just the beginning; the real fun starts now! Our Death Roads: Tournament launches March 28 at 16:00 (CET) in Early Access. Already at the start, we will offer you several drivers and cars, as well as many cards and opponents to beat. But we're keeping something else in the garage. During Early Access, we plan to actively develop the game with, for example, new car parts and mechanics. We will fill Death Roads: Tournament with content to the brim, so get ready for many attractions. You certainly won't be able to complain about boredom. We also plan to work on balance and translations all the time to make them of the highest quality.

- Without you this car will not race - feedback from playtests - 14 February 2023
Hello drivers! Thank you warmly for participating in the game testing on Steam at the end of last year! We received considerable positive and constructive feedback from you, which we analyzed in the sweat of our brow while planning further changes and improvements. We would like to share our conclusions and plans for the near future. What went well? Let's start with the positives by mentioning that the overall difficulty and length of the game are satisfactory to you. On a difficulty scale of 1 to 10, you rated the game an average of 8, which is very difficult. Most of the players did not reach the finishing line on the first try, which is ok because we aimed to make the game challenging. On the other hand, those who played longer could reach the final boss and beat it on average once every three attempts. The time of a full run was around 80 minutes. According to those surveyed, the mo…
- How does the SKID work, and why is it so important? - 10 January 2023
SKID evokes emotions. A lot of emotions. And the skid in Death Roads: Tournament is either loved or hated and the higher the gear, the more emotions. But what exactly stands behind this mechanic? SKID can be treated as something positive and woven into strategy or as a punishment for bad decisions. It all depends on the context in which we find ourselves. We can make the opponent or ourselves perform SKID and count on a positive result or accept a bad draw of cards. When the handling bar drops to 0, we start the SKID phase, in which we draw as many cards from the SKID deck as the vehicle's current gear. During this phase, the car can move right, left and backward, as well as bash in the same directions without our control. Remember this! When the SKID starts, no one can stop it! You can also try to bypass the SKID by keeping an eye on the rest of the handling, but if you have a gambler'…
- Thanks for testing our game! - 13 December 2022

We would like to remind you about the launch of Early Access on Steam, which will take place on March 28, 2023. But what about playtests? End of playtest Thank you all for participating in the playtests. There were more of you than we expected, so we extended the tests and opened them to everyone. Your feedback is invaluable - we analyze it, draw conclusions and make corrections. But what about the people who contributed the most to the race? By the end of next week, the lucky ones should receive an email inviting them to the closed playtests (Discord will be mandatory!). This next round will be associated with rewards for commitment. Thank you again for your support, kind words and bits of advice. See you on the starting line soon!
