North of the central lands of Zeranthia, past the impassable snow-white peaks, one can reach the icy Arctic realm, an inhospitable region where only the indomitable Barbarian tribes manage to dwell without succumbing!

• North of the central territories lies the Arctic realm!

A wilderness of snow and ice

The northern realm is home to a vast frozen lake above which to whiz; villages are located on airships crashed and embedded in rock walls, and the elevated areas are plagued by perennial blizzards that blur the vision of any rider who travels through them.

• Cross and explore the frozen lake at the center of the realm;
• Visit villages near the mountain walls;
• Beware of blizzards in the higher terrain...ye may run into danger without spotting them in time!
• To escape the hostilities of such a scenario, ye can return to the central lands via the Avioport!

Deadly new battlegrounds

Brave riders who choose to cross the icy realm are sure to run into the fearsome Barbarians! The battlefields are among the most diverse: from graveyards of ruined airships, to moors battered by snowstorms, to winding forests of bare trees.

• Fight and survive against the deadly vehicles of the Barbarians!
• New battlefields: airship graveyards, blizzard-stricken areas, and barren tree forests.

Prove your worth to the northern warriors!

Even the outposts are mostly in the hands of the Barbarian clans, who, being thirsty for blood and steel, have also established massive fighting arenas, taking advantage of the morphology and features of the terrain on which they are erected.

• Take part in even more extreme gladiatorial games: the arenas of the North await ye!

If ye are daring drivers worthy of the name, the Northern lands will know how to offer ye new heart-pounding challenges...but never let your guard down or your vehicles will become yet another wreck buried in the ice!

Welcome to the War of Wheels demo! War of Wheels is a fast-paced car combat game in an original "medievalpunk" setting. In this demo it is possible to play an "Arcade" type game in single player against bots, or in "Story" mode, with arena fights (similar to Arcade mode), with the addition of a freely explorable map and open field battles and with the possibility of trying the initial quest of the campaign. New arenas will be added soon for the Arcade and new explorable biomes with related combat maps for the Story mode.

STARTING A GAME

To start a game, select PLAY and choose ARCADE SINGLEPLAYER or STORY. In the case of both options, the game begins immediately when they are selected.

SINGLE PLAYER ARCADE

This mode consists of an arena deathmatch between 8 competitors (1 player + 7 bots) in which the winner is the one who kills the most and suffers the fewest deaths within 5 minutes. Before selecting ARCADE SINGLEPLAYER, you must choose your car by pressing the GARAGE button from the top menu and selecting the class icon (those currently playable are Knight and Ranger). In the arena there are both traps to avoid, such as fire traps and explosive barrels, and consumable barrels to heal yourself. STORY The kingdom of Zeranthia, following the War of Wheels, is subjugated by the Emperor, but combat vehicles have spread throughout the realm: be the first driver to change history! The campaign features a fully explorable strategic map from which missions can be carried out to advance the story. "Outposts" of different types are scattered throughout the map, where you can purchase or build new weapons, recruit your own units and modify your vehicle; you can also participate in the Gladiator Games at the Arenas. Finally, by exploring the map, it is possible to come across the "Marauders", enemy vehicles that can be faced in open field battles, where you can fight alongside your army.

CUSTOMIZE YOUR CAR

You can select one of the available classes by pressing the GARAGE button from the top menu and clicking on the class icon. By selecting the CUSTOMIZE button you will be able to modify the weapons from the WEAPONS panel and the aesthetics from the COSMETICS panel. Each time you make a change, press SAVE to save the current configuration. At any time you can press Right/Left Arrow or WASD to rotate the car (Xbox controller: you can rotate the car via Left Analog Stick or D-pad Right-Left), press Up/Down Arrow or A-D to zoom on car ( Xbox Controller: D-Pad Up-Down) and press Left Shift to show/hide the UI (Xbox Controller: Left Analog stick click). You can add one or more custom decorations by clicking "Cosmetics" in the COSMETICS panel, choosing the decoration and placing it on the car with the Mouse (Xbox Controller: Right Analog stick). In positioning mode, you can rotate the car by pressing Left/Right Arrow or WASD (Xbox controller: Left Analog Stick or Left/Right Arrow). Clicking the equipped decoration icon again allows you to remove it. It is also possible to perform the following operations on the decorations: Scale - Rotate - Mirror (see command list at the bottom of the guide to learn the shortcuts).

THE CLASSES

The currently playable classes are the Knight (in ARCADE SINGLEPLAYER and STORY) and the Ranger (only in ARCADE SINGLEPLAYER); Knight: Balanced class, prefers close combat. His passive skill allows him to inflict massive damage on enemies when he reaches high speed and hits with his melee weapons: spears, blades and hammer (the spears start to glow and leave a trail). His active skill allows him to protect himself, negating damage for a short period of time. Ranger: balanced class with high speed, prefers ranged combat. His passive ability makes him immune to traps. The active ability allows him to heal himself instantly. NOTE: During combat, you can slash with a melee weapon by pressing the weapon's button. If you hold down the button, the weapon (except for the War Hammer) is drawn and deals damage when it comes into contact with an enemy. When a weapon is drawn you cannot attack with other weapons; You cannot use more than one weapon at a time.

Welcome to the War of Wheels pre-alpha Demo! War of Wheels is a fast-paced car combat game in an original "medievalpunk" setting. In this demo it is possible to play a "Deathmatch" type game in single player versus facing bots, or in multiplayer mode with up to 8 players (bots will be inserted in the vacant positions). New arenas and different game modes will be added soon and it will be possible to try a small portion of the Story mode.

START A MATCH

To start a game, select PLAY and choose SINGLE PLAYER DEATHMATCH or MULTIPLAYER DEATHMATCH. By selecting the first option the game will start immediately. By selecting the second one you will enter the Lobby. Even in this state you can continue to customize the car. When you are ready, you can click on the circle next to the word "NOT READY" to change it to "READY". When all participants are ready, the host can start the game by pressing the START button. NOTE: at the moment it is not possible to change rooms, you will automatically be assigned to the first free and available one. It is possible to show the information of the room to which you are connected by pressing the "Room Info" debug button. However, it is possible to change the region of the room by pressing the "Change Region" debug button and selecting a new region.

CUSTOMIZE THE CAR

It is possible to select one of the available classes by pressing the GARAGE button from the top menu and clicking on the class icon. By selecting the CUSTOMIZE button it will be possible to change the weapons from the FUNCTIONS panel and the appearance from the COSMETICS panel. Each time a change is made, press SAVE to save the current configuration. At any time you can press SHIFT + Right/Left Arrow to rotate the car (Xbox Controller: Press Right Analog Stick + Right/Left Arrow). It is possible to add a custom decoration by clicking on "Custom" in the COSMETICS panel, choosing the decoration and placing it on the car. In positioning mode you can rotate the car by pressing Right/Left Arrow (Xbox Controller: Right/Left Arrow). By clicking on the equipped decoration icon again you can remove it.

THE CLASSES

The currently playable classes are the Knight and the Ranger.

• Knight: Balanced class, prefers close combat. His passive ability allows him to inflict massive damage on enemies when he strikes with his weapon of choice, spears, at high speeds (the spears begin to glow and leave a trail). His active ability allows him to protect himself, negating damage for a short period of time.
• Ranger: Balanced class, prefers ranged combat. His passive ability makes him immune to traps. His active ability allows him to heal himself instantly.

NOTE: during combat it is possible to slash with a melee weapon by pressing the button corresponding to the weapon. If the button is held down, the weapon will be drawn and ready and will inflict damage when it comes into contact with an enemy. When a weapon is drawn you cannot attack with other weapons.

CHANGE THE OPTIONS

It is possible to change the graphic settings to better adapt the game to the PC in use (normal quality by default). NOTE: It is currently not possible to change key assignments in the INPUT section.

IN-GAME CONTROLS

Using the controller is recommended for playing. The gamepad is currently not fully supported for menu navigation.
