# Review

The most recent game going offline is a mix between kart racing and battle royale. 60 players race together in three round elimination events.

Large multiplayer karting races

The gameplay is pretty barebones. There are the classic hallmarks of karting games, such as abilities and boosts, but the gameplay feels very generic. After playing more polished racers like Mario Kart, the gameplay of Stampede feels very slow (almost like playing in slow motion) and the abilities are basically inconsequential. The main draw is the massive amount of players to race against but since everything is so easy, despite the chaos at the beginning of the race, it was very easy to win once taking the lead. I was winning 4/5 matches even against humans and oftentimes lapping the bots. There is also a battle mode that was just OK due to the lackluster abilities. There are also some technical hiccups like game crashes. This game should've probably been a mobile game.

Easy to win

# Conclusion

Very basic karting with large groups.

# Overall rating: 6.6
