Outside of the Campaign mode, there are customizable Grand Prix races that can utilize F1, F2, and classic Formula cars with variable options like weather conditions and amounts of laps.
All cars have extensive settings to tinker with and the career mode sports an “RPG-style” R&D “tree” to give an opportunity for drivers to improve several parts of their car.

Driving reckless has never felt so good, rewarding it with extra “boost” that allows you to blast past the opposition and blaze towards the finish line.
Pursuit mode will have players in a police unit and pits them against racers with a “health meter” that won’t go down without a good amount of carnage.
You can integrate a “spotify” account for an all-out, adrenaline pumped vehicular scuffle with your own tunes!

Reckless driving is rewarded with boost in the form of “heatwave” to propel you towards victory.

DESCENDERS Gameplay

This is the essence of freeride downhill biking distilled into virtual reality. With an amazing sense of momentum combined with procedurally created courses of varying types, no two runs will ever be the same.

As if the physics and visual effects didn’t already make the gaming involving enough, there is a first-person view to attack the trails in with occasional views of pure sky as you flip off of ramps.
The game encourages mod-support which allows players to share their custom, one-off trials and venues along with adding to the plethora of game challenges.
Racing to be the fastest is only a byproduct of how much risk you’ll be taking and not the main objective. More risk equals more rewards which include unlocking more crew-members.

Checkpoints marked by checkered flags are key to staying well-placed if you find yourself “hanging eleven”.

The team you side with will help determine what rewards and milestones you’ll need to achieve at each trail.
