Crumple Zone
Old School Arcade Crash Racing!
Inspired by the countless metal-bending games of the 90s and 2000s, Crumple Zone brings back the simple, colorful and timeless fun of ridiculous car-smashing.
It’s All About Destruction!
You’re a bad driver? Great! Crumple Zone is not about racing fast – score high by driving absolutely reckless.
Car Customization!
Beat highscores in the arcade mode to unlock new items to customize the look of your stock car.
2 Player Split Screen Mode!
Remember back when this was a thing?
Cheesy Story Mode!
Single player championships are connected by a backstory. Get introduced to the lore, meet your lunatic opponents in visual-novel-like cutscenes and destroy them on the track.
Real-time Damage Model!
With a lot of crumpling – naturally.
Fully 4k compatible and mastered!
If you got the hardware, we got the pixels.
Retro-Inspired Soundtrack!
Carefully selected songs that bring back that 90s feeling – sorry, no dubstep here.

Found this game because of Neilogical when I watched him few years ago. Last year I got the urge to play the game so I bought it. As others said, It's a pretty good spiritual successor of Destruction Derby. It's definitely worth it for only 10euro/usd. There are not that many fun Derby games on Steam apart from Crumple Zone, FlatOut series, Wreckfest. Trail Out, Crashday, DiRT:Showdown and Carmageddon.
You should definitely give it a shot

I really liked this game, and I'm glad it's now part of my collection. Now, some people are comparing this game to AAA titles and criticizing it; however, just because something is realistic does not mean it is fun to play; this game demonstrates that arcade psychics can create truly chaotic and enjoyable moments, particularly in a vehicular destruction game. We shouldn't compare pears to apples, as each has its own unique taste and qualities.
That being said, the game's main drawback is that it offers only four cars and eight tracks (five for "racing" and three arenas). Now that I understand it, the game is pricey since it was developed by a single individual, but this does not explain the lack of material in the game. To make a game replayable, especially one as pricey as this one, some effort is required.
I would recommend buying it on sale.

First of all, devs, please don't stop making games, especially like this!
This little game got me hooked the moments I knew I was playing a Demolition Derby game but made today...I just had a blast going through the career and doing all the gold medal missions. What can I say, I love to destroy stuff and had so much fun with the driving model & physics and the way the damage works(kind of a funny, gimmicky way).
Only way I could see this game being perfect is to have some sort of boost/nitrous & faster cars as rewards or cheat codes. But, who knows, maybe the next game will have something like it or in an update? I definitely recommend this!

Definitely the best destruction derby game I've ever played. The split screen local play makes this game so much fun to play with friends. A real throw back to the good old days of destruction derby,like on the ps1. Would highly recommend this game for it's fun story and local split screen with friends

What do you get when you mix Destruction Derby with Destruction Derby 64 and Destruction Derby 2?
You get Crumple Zone! This is what Destruction Derby could have been if we had better technology back in the early 90's!
The Game Developer has gone above and Beyond to bring Destruction Derby into the 21st century with this spiritual successor, I am looking forward to Crumple Zone 2!
