Parcel Delivery Meets Twisted Metal In Drive-Buy, Releasing March 12

Remember the old days of car combat games like Twisted Metal and Vigilante 8? A new game is attempting to capture the nostalgia of arcade car combat games, but with a modern twist.

The modern twist is that the cars are all driven by parcel delivery people, doing their job to send boxes of stuff to the people that do online shopping.

Drive-Buy combines the style of old-school car combat games, as well as more recent arcade car titles like Mario Kart and Rocket League in a game about being the best delivery person there is, by any means possible.

Out deliver the competition (which plays kind of like Crazy Taxi), or ram them off and use power-ups to stop the others from doing their job. Most points at the end of the match wins.

(Now there’s a silly excuse for all that time those delivery vans were running late. They were jostling against each other in car combat before dropping off your package.)

Drive-Buy is best played in multiplayer (with cross-play support on PC and Switch) but the AI can drop in and take over should not enough players fill the lobby. There are three game modes, with 6 characters to choose from, and more will be updated through season updates.

A demo is available right now on PC as part of the Steam Game Festival, and it’s pretty fun with a rad synthwave soundtrack, from what we’ve tested out so far.

Drive-Buy launches on March 12 for PC (Steam) and Nintendo Switch.
