DethKarz Reviews

The first time I played this was on a CD I got from a cereal box back in the 90s. Loved it then. Playing it now in 2022 and it has the same appeal. It's simple and generic but gets the "decent racing game" formula just right. 10/10

This was a pleasant surprise find. One of my absolute childhood favorites. Runs great, it has all the slowdowns I remember at the exact same locations when maxing out the view distance, the physics are still fun, the upbeat electronic music still fits the game and the tracks flow as great as I remember.

Op Gog.com voor het eerst kennisgemaakt (al heb ik er vroeger in 1998 wel een bespreking van gelezen in een Vlaams gamemagazine) met deze mooie klassieker! Al heb ik deze al volledig uitgereden op gog kon ik het niet laten deze ook op Steam te kopen wegens de zeer lage prijs. Mooie 3DFX graphics, heel knappe tracks, mooie maar vreemde bolides, onder begeleiding van dreunende techno tracks. Powerups om een snelheidsboost, reparatie, energieslurper, bommenlegger, allerlei soorten raketten, etc... Je hebt ook nog een gewoon wapen ter beschikking die je altijd kan gebruiken. De game play zit heel goed en je kan je controller gebruiken, al kan je deze niet volledig naar wens configureren, dus geen Force Feedback en gas geven en remmen kan enkel met de bovenste bumper buttons. Vond je POD, die andere SF racer uit het 3DFX tijdperk, leuk dan moet je zeker deze ook spelen! Voor de prijs moet je het niet laten. Have fun !!! :)

I've tried playing it on SteamDeck. It's really subpar experience (probably poor glide rapper choice( - bad controls(should easily fixed by SteamInput. The only downloadable layout looks OK at beginning, but using joystick/analog steering is really weird and much harder than digital..I've played in on my linux machine using joypad, without such problems) - black screen in Glide/3DFX mode - poor resolution selection. Using other wrapper worked in 1600x1200 native. There's only 1024x760 available) - graphics glitches. - poor performance with heavy slowdowns (unacceptable on RdNA2 machine. It always worked really good under WINE/linux and on windows XP/7 machines) I really love this game and hope it will be fixed soon...

Old game from 1998, but still fun. It's a hardcore version of Mariokart, but even more challenging in my opinion. Nice reminder of my childhood ! I recommend that game.

I really like this game because I played it long time ago. Luckily i found it on Steam store so I bought it because I have a lot of memories of that game and I think i will 100% complete this game again.

Futuristic racing game of my childhood. I forgot how hard this was. The music is wicked. Amazing memories, thanks for releasing here and actually functional on modern machines<3

DethKarz is an exhilarating combat racing video game that transports players to a futuristic world of high-speed racing and adrenaline-pumping action. The heart of DethKarz lies in its fast-paced and intense racing gameplay. Players can choose from a variety of futuristic cars and race on tracks set in a stunning sci-fi environment. Different kinds of powerups can be picked up during the race which will either help you win, or make you lose. The tracks get more challenging throughout the game, while cars get faster. Turning it into a thrilling ride. The game also features a dynamic soundtrack that adds to the adrenaline-pumping atmosphere. Smooth controls and gameplay making it an immersive experience that will keep players hooked for hours. I used to own a physical copy of this gem and spent tons of hours on it. Even after all this time it hasn't lost its thrill.

Back in the beginning era of video games starting to flourish, this was the very first game I ever got gifted. And damn I played it a lot. And that was exactly at year 2000! And because it was so fun to play, and because of the old CD drive system our white boxy tower computer had, the CD over time has worn off. Played it until the CD was literally scratched so much it was simply unreadable. And then... with windows releasing new versions... I missed the game. And now, year 2021 here I am. Playing the game again. Despite it's primitive graphics it is still so much fun to play :D. I definitely recommend it! PS: Only people like me will understand, R.I.P. DethKarz 2. Too bad Melbourne House closed down and died. Press F for respect.

Ive owned this game in the past since its release in the 90's, so my playtime is some what wrong. :) This is one of those games that i searched the internet for before it came to steam, i even went on torrent sites, with no luck. Why? Because i love it!! Its a cross from the 80's game stunt car racer and wipe out, with weapons, some tracks are fast paced but some require you to slow down for tight U bends or S Bends, even though the game comes across as arcade, the driving does feel rather sim like, The tracks are ace, long straights tight corners, fast corners, jumps, you can fall off at either side, do not under estimate a corner at speed you will fly off there are 3 variations of each track. short medium and long. There are a choice of cars, and once you complete the 1st 3 champs, there are another set of cars which are faster and harder to control, and then once you complete the next 3 championships another set of cars will unlock. In short, graphics are dated, gameplay is good, the AI can give you a run for your money, Ive not yet tried it with a modern steering wheel, my old copy of the game used to work with an ancient wheel i use to have and it made the game even more fun. This game is a classic bargain for less than £4.
