Game overview

Drive Dead 3D is a demolition duel fought on platforms that are trying to kill you both. The goal is to drive over your opponent, but the arena has its own agenda: spinning blades, floors that shift underneath you, explosives and edges with nothing beyond them. Picking a car and charging straight in rarely works, so the better play is letting the platform do half the job while you stay on the safe side of it.

This title is best suited to players who like chaotic vehicle duels.
