About Epic Racing - Descent on Cars
Treat this as a contact sport and it makes sense. Rivals are not obstacles to be avoided cleanly, they are things to be shoved off line, and the cars deform convincingly when you do it. The descent itself provides the pace, so the throttle matters less than where your bumper is.
The result is messier and shorter than a conventional race. Positions swing violently, a single well-placed hit can settle a whole run, and being hit yourself at the wrong point on a gradient can put you somewhere the track was not expecting. Whether that reads as chaotic or as unfair depends on how much you enjoy the wrecking.
How to play
Reach the finish line ahead of the field. Gravity does most of the accelerating on a descent, which frees you up to think about contact instead. Everything outside driving is handled through the in-game menus rather than extra keys.
Controls
- W drives forward and S reverses
- A and D handle steering
- Menus and every other function sit in the on-screen interface
- Mobile players use the same interface with touch input
Tips
- Hit rivals on the rear quarter rather than head-on. It spins them without costing you your own line.
- On a steep section, lift off before contact. Arriving slower keeps you pointed downhill afterwards.
- If you get spun, reverse straight away rather than trying to steer out of it. Recovering the direction is faster.
