    Hello,

    I am the developer of an upcoming combat racing game for iOS, named Battle Riders.

    It will be available on the AppStore on September 4, 2014.

    A short description of the game:

    Battle Riders features a career mode with 120 events in 3 racing tiers that affect the speed and the weapons.

    There are 6 racing modes: Duel, Battle Race, Survival, Elimination, Clean Race and Time Trial.

    Three challenge modes get unlocked by completing the career tiers. These are: Time Attack, Minefield and Barrels.

    There are 7 types of cars, each with 2 performance upgrades and 2 armor upgrades. The cars are also visually customizable.

    Each car can be equipped with two weapons from 5 types: Machinegun, Missiles, Mines, EMP and Raygun. These weapons become more powerful on higher tiers.

    The races take place on 9 tracks across 3 different environments.: City Limits, Canyon and Metropolis. Each track also features a reversed version, for a total of 18 tracks.

    The game is universal and works on all devices starting with the iPhone 3Gs, iPod 3rd gen (except the 8gb version) and iPad 1 up to the latest iPhone 5s and iPad retina. It requires iOS 4.3 or later. The graphics are tailored for each devices capabilities and screen resolution.

    The game does not have multiplayer or in-app purchases. It will be sold as a paid app, for 1.99$.

    For more details about the game (description, game modes, cars, weapons, tracks) and lots of screenshots please visit:

    Looks like a 3D version of death rally. Which is pretty awesome.

    I've played a good couple of hours on this (via promo code) and it's just a great game. Fast, good controls, absolute tons of content, no IAPs. Since I installed, I haven't played any other games on my iPad, haven't wanted to!

    I was reminded (a bit) of Road Blasters, but it's also like "Mario Kart for Maniacs" with the frequent pick-ups and tight, furious tracks.

    Leaderboard and loads of GC achievements.

    This game deserves to be hugely popular, it's a heck of a lot of fun!

    AI is fine - they do their best to win and explode when you fire missiles at them .... what more could you want? They also shoot at each other, which is always fun.

    One more thing - the Battle Riders vehicles remind me a lot of the cars in the Death Race remake - the Jason Statham movie. They have a very solid, realistic, grungy feel.

    This looks great, glad the controls can be changed.

    Can you change the camera angle at all ? Its good how it is, bit low down though, can you make it higher ? Are there other settings ?

    Battle Riders - In-game camera

    The in-game camera can be set to Close (as seen in the screenshots), Far, Hood and Front.

    You can also set one of these as a default camera in settings and it will be the camera every race starts with.

    Regarding those videos, I need to record some more recent footage after playing this for over 6 hours (according to the stats screen), reaching the first few races of tier 3 and deciding that I prefer the Missiles + Raygun weapon combo for my style of (arguably sneaky) shoot-em in the back racing.

    I'm surprised more people haven't jumped on this thread and started to get excited about this one. TA - not interested yet, or are you holding back until it releases?
