MotorCubs RC

MotorCubs RC is a high-octane, off-road racing game developed by Draisey Digital LLC that shrinks the intensity of extreme racing down to the scale of remote-controlled (RC) cars. Set in a gorgeous, rugged, and dangerous rendition of Monument Valley, the game blends competitive arcade racing with challenging physics and a distinctive aesthetic featuring anthropomorphic, professional racing bears piloting the vehicles. It aims to capture the nostalgic energy of '90s off-road racers with a fierce, no-holds-barred approach to competition.

Intense Offroad Gameplay

The core experience of MotorCubs RC centers on conquering diverse and treacherous terrain in highly detailed environments:

• Diverse Track Hazards: The game features 8 "tough as nails" race tracks, with plans for more content, filled with interactive hazards. Players must navigate around or through interactive rocks, thick mud, deep foliage, and flaming wreckage. The course design emphasizes steep climbs, sudden drops, and sharp turns, demanding precise control and risk-taking.

• Physics and Destruction: MotorCubs RC uses a detailed physics system where vehicles react realistically to the terrain, including suspension and wheel mechanics. The game encourages "savage" driving; vehicle-to-vehicle contact is common, and vehicles can be destroyed or split into pieces upon impact, adding an element of high-speed carnage to the races.

• Vehicle Classes: Success depends on matching the right vehicle to the track conditions. The game features four distinct classes of RC vehicles:

  • Compact (e.g., Italian Growliano): Fast and agile, but easily damaged.

  • Sport (e.g., Patriot Oxide): Good speed and stability on flat ground.

  • Mud Plugger (e.g., Grizzly Logger): Excels in mud and over large rocks.

  • Titan (e.g., Granite Wildcat): Heavy and slow-accelerating, but a true powerhouse that can drive through obstacles.

Competition and Features

MotorCubs RC focuses on pure, skill-based competition, setting it apart from typical arcade racers:

• No Rubber Banding: A key feature is the commitment to no "rubber banding," meaning the AI does not artificially slow down when you fall behind or speed up to catch you. A win is earned purely through superior driving skill, with AI opponents possessing varying levels of skill and aggression.

• Game Modes: The game offers both single-player and Local Multiplayer (Split-Screen) offline races for two players. It also features a Time Trial mode for practicing skills and learning the intricacies of each course. The full release is planned to include a robust online multiplayer mode.

• The Vibe: The atmosphere is amplified by a high-energy, nostalgic 90's Rock soundtrack specifically composed for the game, reinforcing the feeling of adrenaline-fueled, arcade-style action.

Currently in Early Access, MotorCubs RC is available on PC (Windows and Mac), with a dedicated development team continually refining the physics, AI, and track content based on community feedback.
