Anti-gravity combat racing
BallisticNG is a fast anti-gravity combat racer set in the 2159 Anti-Gravity League. You glide through futuristic courses and pick up weapons from the track to blast your way to first place. It draws on old school classics like Wipeout, Rollcage and Jet Moto. There is a large and ever expanding roster of tracks and ships, with a track for every skill level and a ship for every play style. Content comes in several categories: standard, drag, drift and small vehicle content, and vehicles and tracks from each category are interchangeable.
Playing together
Multiplayer runs in two player splitscreen or online via direct IP or Steam, and online play is cross-platform across Windows, OSX and Linux with support for custom ships and tracks. Custom Races let you pick a gamemode, configure it, add up to 16 racers with whatever difficulty you want and jump straight in. The gamemodes are Race, Team Race, Tournament, Time Trial, Speed Lap, Eliminator, Knockout, Survival, Upsurge, Rush Hour and Stunt. Remote Play Together is available as a Steam feature.
Before you start
There are 5 speed classes and gameplay modifiers to manipulate the base speed of each class, so you can race anywhere between a snail's pace and breaking the sound barrier on every straight. Smart Assists aid with steering, pitching and airbrakes independently by making input suggestions that adapt to your own inputs and stay out of the way when not needed. The game is fully compatible with SteamVR, and the cockpit view is also available outside of VR. A warning from the developers: BallisticNG contains fast moving imagery and various effects such as white flashes that may potentially trigger seizures for people with photosensitive epilepsy.
