Demolition Derby Life

A motorsport built on crashing

In a demolition derby, drivers smash into each other deliberately, and Demolition Derby Life builds its whole game around that idea. Its description hails the demolition derby as the only real motorsport built around hitting your opponent on purpose, and announces that it is back. You head out in a muscle car onto a dirt track where every rival is out to turn your vehicle into rubble, while a roaring crowd has come to see the wreckage. Taking part, it warns, is no place for the timid.

Season mode and your crew

The game now includes a season mode, and that is where your crew comes in. You assemble a team and enter a professional demolition derby season with the goal of becoming a derby legend. According to the description, getting there takes skill and stamina, plus a crew that can carry you to lasting glory. The title itself hints at the derby as a way of life, and the description asks whether you are ready for that lifestyle.

Physics and graphics

The developer, rabbitmountain, promises true destruction physics along with detailed graphics, and pitches the game as the most extreme take on the derby so far. With destruction physics at its core, the crashes themselves are the main attraction, which suits a sport where wrecking the other cars is the whole idea.

Who should try it

If you like racing games but would rather wreck the competition than simply outpace it, Demolition Derby Life sits on our racing shelf for exactly that reason. It is a game about deliberate contact and a crowd that wants to see destruction.
