Backseat Champions has a pretty clever idea, bringing the worlds of auto-battlers and roguelites to racing games with you managing an AI driver. You’re not quite literally in the backseat but close enough.
The game will feature races that are basically a short burst around the track, that’s hopefully good for people who don’t have a lot of time. The developer says it will allow you to “quickly hop in and get straight to the action” across real races, with “nothing scripted” where each race is different. You can play alone, or with friends too. During the race you pick various random upgrades, in the hope of making the fastest car to win. Not just that but you’ll be able to manipulate the car in a few other ways too, and you’ll also be dealing with dynamic weather.
Sounds awful and tedious
My favorite kind of game.
The dichotomy of mankind in one thread.
I have several spreadsheet-games going, it’s exciting to copy an area and balance it anew!
It’s a sequel to Regional Sales Manager 2.
Sounds pretty fun! It might be another good game to jump into on the Steam Deck when you have a little bit of time. I’m curious to see how the multiplayer will be.
