One thing mentioned on our review of the first release of Wreckfest, way back in 2018, was an apparent lack of content, which was slightly mitigated over the past few years. Want to race against normal cars while driving a school bus with no brakes? Sure, why not? You can drive everything from a lawnmower to a combine harvester, and everything in between. Remember the good old days playing Destruction Derby on your PS1 or Nintendo 64? This follows the same trend, letting you race in small tracks or just battle against each other in closed arenas, but bloodring bangers aren’t the only kinds of cars available in this game. Developed by Bugbear, the same folks behind the cult hit FlatOut, Wreckfest is a racing/demolition derby simulator. The arcade mode is the highlight of this Switch version.įirst of all, let me explain what Wreckfest is in case you don’t know. How well would the Switch fare with a game definitely not made with its weak hardware in mind? Better than I could have predicted, in fact. It even received native PS5 and Xbox Series X ports before this Switch version. Wreckfest had a notoriously long development cycle, taking a long time to be released to PC, and even longer to be ported to other consoles. Porting a proprietary engine to a console with PC architecture is one thing, but doing so for a system whose CPU is based on mobile phones must be an extra hassle. That’s possibly one of the reasons we still haven’t seen ports of Persona 5 to it. ![]() You rarely see demanding games with proprietary engines being ported to the system. Wreckfest was a game I thought to be nigh impossible to port on the Switch. Wreckfest, on the other hand, is a different story. They exist, and even if they are worse than their PS4 counterparts, I like the fact that these ports exist. Darksiders III, SpongeBob, Destroy All Humans none of these games felt like something the Switch would run natively (and decently), but here we are. THQ Nordic, their main publishing branch, isn’t bothered by the Switch’s inferior hardware they will port their games to that system if given the chance. Features: * Awesome Cars - Old, banged-up, patched-together cars that simply ooze style! From old American heavy-hitters to agile Europeans and fun Asians, you won't find anything like this in other games.One of the things I like the most about the Embracer Group, besides the fact they are, somehow, the largest publishing conglomerate in the world right now, is that they aren’t bothered by the odds. Whether you are preparing for your next demolition derby with reinforced bumpers, roll cages, side protectors and much more, or setting your car up for a banger race with engine performance parts like air filters, camshafts, fuel systems, etc., Wreckfest is shaping up to be the best combative motorsport game out there. ![]()
