Fast-paced racing game with power-ups and weapons, featuring cartoon-like graphics and over-the-top action and humor, available on various tracks against AI opponents.
Freak Racing is an arcade-style combat racing video game developed and published by Refusion Games. First released in 2018, Freak Racing stands out for its chaotic, over-the-top racing action complemented by vibrant, cartoon-like graphics and irreverent humor.
In Freak Racing, players take control of one of several colorful animal characters, each with their own specialized vehicles, and race across imaginative tracks ranging from sunny beaches to erupting volcanoes. The core gameplay centers around speeding to the finish line while making strategic use of myriad cartoonish weapons and power-ups to gain an edge over computer-controlled opponents.
With a emphasis on unpredictability and bedlam, Freak Racing's races tend to be extremely aggressive affairs filled with missiles, gale-force tornadoes, bubbles, and other bizarre items that stall rivals while giving the player boosts of speed. The game delights in its unrealistic, implausible action, reveling in the sheer fun of outracing cartoon animal people in souped-up vehicles.
Freak Racing includes a number of modes supporting both single player and local competitive multiplayer for up to 4 people. The game's vibrant, hyperkinetic personality is enhanced through its use of humorous voice acting and soundtrack. Since its initial release, Freak Racing has developed a cult following among fans of creative indie racing games.
