Description
Based on simple and intuitive hand management, Heat Pedal to the Metal (designed by Asger Harding Granerud, Daniel Skjold Pedersen) puts players in the driver’s seat of intense car races, jockeying for position to cross the finish line first, while managing their car’s speed if they don’t want to overheat. Selecting the right upgrades for their car will help them hug the curves and keep their engine cool enough to maintain top speeds. Ultimately, their driving skills will be the key to victory!
Drivers can compete in a single race or use the “Championship System” to play a whole season in one game night, customizing their car before each race to claim the top spot on the podium. They have to be careful as the weather, road conditions, and events will change every race to spice up their championship. Players can also enjoy a solo mode with the Legends Module or add automated drivers as additional opponents in multiplayer games.

Fantastic skill / push your luck racing game. Offers a range of modules to adjust complexity from a simple family game to full on championship with weather, advanced car modifications, 4 courses, and extremely simple and effective bots to accommodate lower player counts. Highly recommended.

The basic game is fine, but when you add in weather, upgrades, and sponsorships, it elevates Heat to an entirely new level. Played across a series of races, where you have to juggle putting together a cohesive set of upgrades, Heat’s an excellent game, easy to learn, challenging to play perfectly, and highly competitive.
