Fuel
About the Game
FUEL is a free-world racing game. Players can explore a 14.000 km² area of Northern America after the effects of global warming took place, rendering it desolate with abandoned cities, broken vehicles and almost no survivors. The goal is to win races, which provides fuel that can be exchanged for new vehicles. The game world is divided in nineteen separate zones that need to be unlocked by collecting stars – provided through winning career races.
Gameplay & Core Systems
Next to the races and challenges that can be accessed right away, the game also offers the ability to drive freely in each of the zones to explore the environment. The terrain is dense and the appropriate vehicle needs to be selected to explore freely. The general gameplay is arcade-like. The roads are littered with obstacles and the game encourages to break away from the regular tracks to locate shortcuts and use jumps to cross large distances. Players can also create their own tracks through waypoints in the zone.
