Check out ShockRods with a free beta key Carmageddit. Feature by Paul Watson Contributor Updated on 25 Apr 2019 2 comments If you were at Rezzed this month, you may have spotted - and even tried out - ShockRods, the upcoming vehicular battler from legendary Carmageddon developers, Stainless Games. The game, which I like to think of as a Robot Wars meets Quake meets Destruction Derby, throws 12 players together in an arena and invites them to blow the everloving scrap out of each other. Martin played it very recently and had a brilliant time with it - calling it a "thrillingly old-school arena shooter". "That's all well and good", I hear you say, "but when can I get my hands on the wheel?" Well, right now, actually. The nice chaps over at Green Man Gaming, who are publishing ShockRods, have given us a ton of free keys for the closed Steam beta, which kicks off today. You can grab one right now and play the beta over the weekend, if you're so inclined. Should you like the game as much as Martin did, you'll also get a voucher granting you 50% off the game when it launches. To get your hands on a code, simply follow the instructions in the widget below. ShockRods Giveaway To see this content please enable targeting cookies.
