It’ll be time to turn up the heat and burn major rubber for all long-time Carmageddon fans out there, as the destructive racer squeals its way onto iOS and Android from today. A respectful reinvention of the controversial car franchise, Carmageddon: Crashers aims to be the antidote to dreary drag strip racing games of times past.

Featuring a suite of classic Carmageddon cars to collect and race around in, Crashers tasks players to work their way up the top of the Crashers league, defeating all enemies in your way. This is drag racing with a difference however, with cars starting from opposite ends of the drag strip in order to race as opposed to simply edging each other out over the finishing line. But will your car do the wrecking or becoming a wreck itself?

A bunch of seriously unhinged Mini Bosses and Zone Bosses plague your path on the road to victory, so it pays to buy new cars and upgrade them. Fill up a garage full of metal mangling machines in time and you’ll be ready to take on sponsors and boost your winnings. Just be sure not to get yourself in a tailspin.

A whole host of power ups help provide a competitive edge, unlockable as you rise up through the ranks. These range from boosting your car’s impact force so as to achieve higher damage, to adding zappers which help to fry racing fans as you roar down the road. Release the everyday stresses by indulging in a series of high-octane head-on crashes, in vehicles all rendered in full 3D graphics.

Crazy customised racing cars and more await in Carmageddon: Crashers. Free to download from today either via iTunes or Google Play.
