New to the page or interested in finding out more? Welcome! UnrealRace isn't a classic racing game: it’s a simulation where you can take on the roles of actor, bettor, and spectator at the same time.
Let the good times roll!
Do you want to lead your team to victory? Give it your all and activate your powers at crucial moments to triumph over the track's chaos.
Do you prefer winning your bets? Sabotage your opponents and find ways to tamper with the results through your interventions.
Do you prefer watching destiny unfold? May luck be on your side!
In this first overview, we are laying down the game's foundations.
🗺️ Race Building Blocks: Terrain & Weather
Every race is a unique challenge. The track is a puzzle made up of varied multicolored segments. Each color is associated with a terrain type (mountains, jungle, volcanic zones, etc.).
The secret to victory? The synergy between your racers' specializations and the terrain they cross. What's more, dynamic weather that can turn a favorite into an underdog in seconds, and you’ll see why no two races are ever the same. Plus, stay alert: powers can affect both the racers and the terrain!
Controls:
Total Vision: Free camera (WASD)/mouse and scroll-to-zoom.
Live Data: Dynamic leaderboard and precise statistics.
Time Management: Speed up the simulation to see your tactics play out!
🎮 3 Modes, 3 Ways to Win
Each mode can be played as a Single Race (one route to victory) or in Cup Series (several races where results accumulate to determine the grand winner).
🥇 Classic Mode
The purity of competition. Choose 1 to 5 of your best racers, select your powers, and cross your fingers. Here, only the time at the finish line counts. Be careful not to fall too far behind in Cup Series for a chance to climb back up the rankings!
⚡ Elimination Mode
Constant pressure, consistency and survival. At regular intervals, the last participant is eliminated. A well-placed "shield" power can save your champion!
🏆 Points Mode
Long-term strategy. With 19 scoring systems (F1, Indy, Exponential...), choose the one that suits you best; every position earns points. Ideal for championships (Cups) where consistency beats a one-off win.
🎲 The Art of Betting
Before the green light, wager your stars (⭐). Odds evolve dynamically based on the forces at play. Will you play it safe or go for a high-reward exploit?
Bet Type | Objective |
|---|---|
🥇 Podium | Bet on who will finish in the top 3. |
🔴 Loser | Bet on who will arrive in last place. |
👥 Team | Bet on the winning team. |
⚡ Powers: Change the Course of Fate
You have 3 random power slots. Each slot has a cooldown after use. Every 30 seconds, unused powers are replaced with new ones to refresh your options.
More than a dozen powers are at your disposal, including:
🌑 Black Hole: Sucks in nearby competitors.
🧱 The Wall: Brutally slows down anyone trying to cross it.
💉 Dope: A massive speed boost for a few seconds.
🛡️ Shield: Total immunity against low blows and debuffs.
Streamer Mode: Race Live with your Twitch Chat
UnrealRace features a built-in Streamer Mode directly connected to your Twitch chat. Your viewers are no longer passive spectators: they become the racers themselves!
How does it work?
From the main menu, launch the Streamer Mode and enter your Twitch channel name.
The game connects anonymously to the chat via IRC WebSocket (no authentication required for the streamer).
Your viewers type commands in the chat to interact with the game.
Gameplay Flow
Registration: Viewers type !join in the chat. They appear in real-time in the participant list, using their own Twitch name and color.
Launch: Once you have enough participants, start the race as usual: choose between Classic, Elimination, or Points modes.
During the race: Twitch participants race with the same mechanics as everyone else terrain, weather, and powers. The streamer retains control over powers and camera movement.
Results: The final leaderboard displays the Twitch usernames. The participant list is automatically saved for the next race.
