Description
Turbo Sliders Unlimited is a spiritual successor of many classic top-down racing games, but with modern online features and unlimited customization and expansion possibilities. At its core there is online multiplayer racing with up to 20 simultaneous players, but it goes far beyond that. It is a community-driven platform where anyone can create and host their own levels, vehicles, or even completely different game modes. It is already possible to play it as a serious esports racing game or just to have more casual arcade fun - e.g. with special physics or wilder parkour, platformer, sumo, capture the flag, weapon battle, soccer, tag or collector levels.
In addition to online multiplayer, the game can be played with up to four players in split-screen mode, either locally or taking part in online games together. Players can also play alone in time trial or hotlapping mode, trying to beat times in local and global leaderboards, possibly playing against recorded ghosts of other players. Playing against AI is also planned to be included in the future.
The game includes feature rich level and vehicle editors which are the same tools the default vehicles and levels were made with. That means players can create and share both levels and vehicles, possibly inventing completely new game modes. Everything is designed to be playable online, and games can also be recorded and watched later with different camera angles and playback speeds. The game also includes sophisticated tools for making custom paint jobs. New customization packs can be bought to get more decals, colors and other customization options, but there are no pay-to-win elements.
The design philosophy of Turbo Sliders Unlimited is to provide as much freedom as possible. There is a massive amount of possible features and game modes, and instead of telling people what they should do, players are free to make their own choices. Players can either focus on just playing, or become creators or game masters hosting their own games, possibly with special rules. Or, if players want to take it even further, it is possible to run one's own dedicated servers with custom metagame or stats associated with them.
