Ultimate Godspeed is a new karting game with a twist. Developer Ninoko has pitched the title as a ‘party racing game’ where the emphasis is placed on multiplayer battling.
The premise of Ultimate Godspeed sees players controlling all-powerful deities who can pick and place obstacles on tracks before races. Placing these strategically is the key to defeating your opponents, with up to four players able to compete locally via split-screen.
Obstacles include oil slicks, swinging axes, ramps, bombs, poison pits and lightning bolts, with players scoring points if their opponents succumb to their dastardly traps.
These also stay on the map in subsequent rounds, meaning races get more frantic as time passes. Players can also use objects to create shortcuts through the map, with bonus points available for breaking the track record.
