About this game
beaterCore is an arcade racing game for those who prefer cheap rusty beaters over specialized sports cars. Buy, repair, restore, and tune your dream project car. Take part in racing events and work your way through the career mode.
Garage
Repair your car in first person mode. Purchase furniture and stockpile as many spare parts as you can - you're going to need them.
Field repair
In beaterCore you'll have to make quick repairs in-between races. Everything can go wrong, and you must be prepared for it! Store items in your car's trunk, but be wise with what you bring with you - space is limited.
Split screen
Play locally with up to four players on the same screen. Keyboard controls are fully supported!
Multiplayer
If career mode is not enough - you can always compete against your friends in online races. You're still going to need your resource management skills - multiplayer races affect your cars the same way as in career mode! Show off your pristine ride, or surprise your friends with track-specific tuning.
Multiple charismatic characters
beaterCore features multiple in-game characters you'll have to interact with. Take sponsorships, complete quests, and unlock additional content as you build relationships with them.
Different times of year
Experience tracks across different times of year. Prepare your car for icy winter conditions or enjoy the warm, vibrant colors of autumn.
