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.
