Torqued Up Legends
Torqued Up Legends is an arcade style, multiplayer racing game. It is not a realistic racing game. With 20 different Tracks and 20 different cars its has a lot of content. We use a nitro boosting system which allows for cars to Nuke slow or crashed opponents. The nitro is designed to be a recovery tool, a catch up mechanic, and a weapon. Crashes and spin outs happen often and are expected. The game is a kart racer with a flair for real world driving mechanics. The vehicles should be thought of as notorious or infamous personas with out any sort of real world counter part. The vehicle engines are all relatively close in speed and performance and each upgrade simply increases its current stats. We have a large library of cosmetic upgrades, with global leader boards and working towards individual vehicle performance upgrades. We have a ranking and bidding system to make races more competitive and engaging. Your car will explode and your wheels will fly off in hilarious failure. The game is 2 parts frustrating and 3 parts that felt rewarding when things go well.

Information / Review English
Torqued Up Legends is a classic Racing game that was developed by Project 172 and is still in the Early Access Phase.
Gameplay / Story
The gameplay is similar to that of FlatOut, but the focus in this game is more on driving fun. In addition to driving on given routes as quickly as possible, which is usual for racing games, the degree of destruction caused to the environment or the opposing vehicles is often decisive for victory. The game uses a powerful physics engine and exceptionally detailed damage models for a visually appealing representation of the destruction. The elements such as track design and driving physics of the vehicles have their focus on action rather than realism. So z. For example, the use of nitro, which the player receives during a race for causing damage to opponents and the environment, plays a central role. Furthermore, numerous ramps, oil spills and potholes are distributed as obstacles on the routes. The game includes a single player mode and a multiplayer mode.I can't say that much about the multiplayer yet, because I only played it briefly and couldn't test it sufficiently for reasons of time, but I'll do this afterwards in the rating.
Pro
+ Alternative to FlatOut
+ nice graphics
+ Sound noises from the cars
+ great lighting effects
+ colorful mix of racing classes
+ Tutorial introduces you to the game
+ Achievements
Contra
- Control not yet optimally solved
- In-game purchases should follow (does that have to be?)
Conclusion
Torqued Up Legends already offers a solid Racing game of all FlatOut, which is already Fun in the current Phase. It will be interesting to see what will follow.
PS: First of all, many thanks to the developer who provided us with this key for the group. Here you can find more good reviews from others and me at
Information / Review Deutsch
Torqued Up Legends ist ein klassisches Rennspiel, welches von Projekt 172 entwickelt wurde und sich noch in der Early Access Phase befindet.
Gameplay / Geschichte
Das Spielprinzip ähnelt dem von FlatOut, allerdings liegt der Augenmerk in diesem Spiel mehr beim Fahrspaß. Neben dem für Rennspiele üblichen schnellstmöglichen Befahren vorgegebener Strecken ist auch oft der Grad der angerichteten Zerstörung der Umgebung oder der gegnerischen Fahrzeuge für den Sieg maßgeblich. Das Spiel nutzt zur optisch ansprechenden Darstellung der Zerstörung eine leistungsfähige Physik-Engine und überdurchschnittlich detaillierte Schadensmodelle. Die Elemente wie Streckengestaltung und Fahrphysik der Fahrzeuge ihren Schwerpunkt eher auf Action als auf Realismus haben. So spielt z. B. die Verwendung von Nitro, das der Spieler während eines Rennens für das Anrichten von Schäden an Gegnern und Umgebung erhält, eine zentrale Rolle. Weiterhin sind auf den Strecken zahlreiche Rampen, Ölspuren und Schlaglöcher als Hindernisse verteilt. Das Spiel beinhaltet einen Einzelspieler-Modus und einen Mehrspieler-Modus. Zum Multiplayer kann ich noch nicht soviel sagen, da ich diesen nur kurz angespielt habe und noch nicht ausreichend testen konnte aus zeitlichen Gründen, dies werde ich aber noch nach reichen in der Bewertung.
Pro
+ Alternative zu FlatOut
+ schöne Grafik
+ Soundgeräusche der Autos
+ tolle Lichteffekte
+ bunte Mischung an Rennklassen
+ Tutorial führt dich ins Spiel ein
+ Errungenschaften
Kontra
- Steuerung noch nicht optimal gelöst
- Käufe im Spiel soll noch folgen ( muss das sein?)
Fazit
Torqued Up Legends bietet bisher schon ein solides Rennspiel aller FlatOut, welches in der jetzigen Phase schon Spaß macht. Man kann gespannt sein, was noch folgen wird.
PS: Zunächst einmal vielen Dank an den Entwickler, der uns diesen Schlüssel für die Gruppe zur Verfügung gestellt hat. Hier findest du weitere gute Bewertungen von anderen und mir unter

You like Cars?
You like Racing?
You like cool Tracks?
You like challenging your Friends?
Then Welcome to TORQUED UP LEGENDS
The Focus of this Game is Multiplayer Fun with Friends.
You can drive Single Races in Practice Mode, but the Fun is clearly for the Multiplayer.
So, what is special about this Game.
At first it is the Gameplay itself. Controlling the Car feels like a Mix of Simulation and Arcade. It is special, but not bad. It is easy to learn in a nice Tutorial and after a few runnings, you will do better and better.
The Racing Tracks are really nice Done. They are varied, detailed and feel somehow alive.
You have also the Choice to drive Performance or Offroad.
It is pure fun to outmanouver other Cars or find Shortcuts on the Road. Also to jump over Obstacles.
Use Nitro and show your opponents the Back of your Car.
TORQUED UP LEGENDS has a nice Carpark. It is early Access, so not every Car is ready by now but you can have a slightly Look at them in the Garage.
You can also pimp up your Car. Choose Colour or Skin. Name the Tag. Choose a special Boost.
Graphics and Sounds fit in very well and it reminds me a little bit of some good old Arcade Racers.
Overall a promising Racer for some hot and funny Multiplayer Sessions.
Thanks to the Devs for letting me racing their Tracks. You have i nice Game here.
Wish you all the Best and i´m excited for more to come.
Thank you for Reading.

nice graphics & gameplay
physics could be improved... especially when the tires fly off when you power slide & explode... tires should bounce & continue in same direction as the power slide.

Torqued Up Legends
pros:
fast game with modern day graphics with easy controls that moves from location A to B to C and so on,
cons:
Locked races require too much grind to unlock.
The AI plays at master level.
Sometimes the same traps can destroy your vehicle multiple times in a row.
good game.

Played the beta. So it's a beta and early access. So keep that in mind.
Good news is that it barely needs a CPU, bad news is it looks like a PS4 game and trashes my GPU.
The racing mechanics seem ok, nothing to write much about, simple, but still fun, don't expect no forza horizon or dirt rally level of game but it does the job. And i can see a fun multiplayer game in there, i never got a connection despite game being handed free everywhere.
Just make it f2p and optimize the gpu usage.
I give it a thumbs up minus.

why do the cars explode and disappear but the tires are left rolling forward?
