About the Game
There is a mixture of events in the game, where the player must either race cleanly, aiming to be first, or where you can play dirty, sabotaging your opponent’s car by shunting them off the track or driving them into a wall.
You begin the game by choosing your vehicle, from a lengthy and comprehensive list that includes CAT earthmovers, Caddies and Chevrolets, a showroom’s worth of Fords, Pontiacs, Rovers and VW Beetles amongst many others. There is even a Volvo bus if size and strength are your thing. You can customise your paintwork, but do not get too attached to it, as each race or outing will surely leave it in need of a refresh!
Next you choose between manual and automatic. Manual is great if you are a fan of simulation racing games, automatic if you are out to score speed and destruction prizes without wanting the stress of gear changes and potential stalls holding you back.
Finally, you choose between dirt and tarmac tracks, of which there are many. Various speedways, raceways, rings and motocenters are waiting for your attentions, or you can hit the countryside in certain areas, bringing an element of hair-raising rallying to your game.
Bonus Challenges
Every race has bonus features, so that even if you are not winning – or are not even interested in winning, being bent on causing as much destruction as possible – you can still accumulate points, XP and other rewards.
Some of these challenges are quite broadly defined: ‘Cause a set number of opponents to crash out’, while others are more precise: ‘Cause a set number of opponents to spin out’. Spinning out is defined as forcing your opponent’s car to spin a full 180 degrees because of your actions alone.
Other challenges differ in difficulty according to which race you attempt to achieve them in. ‘Finishing off an opponent’ is quite tricky in a speed race but much more achievable in a demolition derby – just look for a player with low HP and deal the killing blow yourself to gain the win!
Three Ways to Play
Career: a fairly premise begins your career. Win races from a set selection, and as you rise in the ranks, more events will present themselves. Unlike in the other modes, keeping your vehicle in reasonable condition and coming first in the race is more important than accumulating damage and taking out opponents (although there are ‘side quests’ to tick off, such as causing three opponents to crash out). Your results in the standings are key
Multiplayer: indulge your inner psychopath by t-boning your opponents and relishing the physics engines that make each smash a sumptuous feast of crumpling metal, authentic metallic screams and debris flying far and wide, with – fairly often – a single tyre bouncing out of the crush and rolling away sadly as though fleeing a crime scene
Custom Events: from the slapstick hilarity of a ride-on lawnmower race (but make no mistake, people will do almost anything to win, even this!) to a full-on Destruction Derby (which is what the name implies) to a Dirt Showdown which is basically a full on battle royale but for cars, in which players battle each other to be the last vehicle standing. Or driving . Moving anyway!
Wreckfest for PC is available for purchase on Instant Gaming for a fraction of its retail price. You will receive an official key and be able to play the game in seconds. Play smart. Pay less.

"Wreckfest" is an absolute blast if you love fast-paced racing mixed with chaotic car destruction. The game combines thrilling races with demolition derbies, where the goal is often less about finishing first and more about surviving the wreckage around you.
The destruction physics are awesome—you'll see cars dent, crumple, and lose parts in real-time. Every race feels unpredictable and exciting. Plus, you can customize your car to fit your playstyle, whether you're focused on speed or making your car a tank for derby events.
Multiplayer takes things to the next level, with up to 24 players smashing into each other for ultimate bragging rights. It's addictive and tons of fun with friends.
On the downside, the single-player career mode can get a bit repetitive, and the AI is sometimes overly aggressive. But honestly, these are minor issues in an otherwise fantastic game.
Overall, if you're looking for a racing game with a wild, destructive twist, "Wreckfest" is the perfect choice!

Awesome game to play with friends
Doesn't need high-end setup
You need to host a multiplayer server on your own machine, unless you want to play on the available online rooms

Its an anazing game, I have it on Switch and PS4 and to be honest it's a lot better on PS4 as it can handle more so you get to race more players and the graphics are better and so on. On the switch you get faster loading times though, loading times being one of the main downfalls of this game as it can take a while. Don't get confused, this is not cross play. Overall very good game with some minor problems which are currently being looked into/fixed. Well worth a buy.

Easily the best racing game I've played in years. Consistently fun and entertaining, it's the right blend of racing and wrecking. The figure 8 races are hilarious and tense. Honestly, a great game overall. Highly recommend it.
Excelent

Good games, lot of fun and a lot of chaos.
Still dies at the first round but i'm playing with somes friends, so it's fine.
I recommand to dl one mod that gives you every car if you don't wanna play solo, if you plan to play online with your friends. the first cars provided by the game are not very powerful and you may die quickly
chaos and fun
lot of cars and maps
lot of players
some players are cheaters
some players drive in your car and kill you at the first round
mofify your car seems complex at first

Really good crash physics, you can have a lot of fun with your friends during the times on the racetrack. What I personally found annoying is that the server admins and mods sometimes kick you even you did nothing wrong but I guess thats their right.
Crash physics
Fun with your friends
Server admins and mods kick often even without a reason

Just after installing fatal errors on launch of the game. Finally got the game launched debugging 15min, then fanatec wheel cant center itself and game crashes again with fatal errors. Feels like the game is from 1990.
Just a cheap copy and translation from old XBOX games. Don't bother getting this
Unstable
Buggy
No product support
Feels like it's made early 2000

This is my taste of Racing game.
It's just like Test Drive: Destruction, but without the free-roam part around the scrapyard.
This game should give us the Paint mechanism from Test Drive:Destruction. ;)
Everything else is just great as it is.
Painting.

Realistic.
Not that expensive.
Many-many players. Huge playerbase.
No rules.
Missing painting the cars, like in a real derby.

The game manages to modernize and reinvigorate an old formula with spectacular confidence it wows with a gorgeous look and wonderful driving feel, along with a damage system that satisfies in the most brutal of fashions.
Crash physics and damage good
Aggressive AI challenging
Variety of cars and tracks
Bland UI
