Half Grip Gameplay Revealed - A Retro-Style Combat Roguelike Racer

Players will be able to deal with rivals using radical methods.

In September, Half Games studio released a trailer for Half Grip. The developers presented a selection of gameplay footage.

Half Grip is positioned as a first-person combat roguelike racer, where “every action is a gamble.” Players will not only have to control their car but also engage in shootouts with armed rivals.

As they progress, players in Half Grip will be able to earn money, which can be spent on various upgrades and weapons – the arsenal will be replenished with a shotgun, mines, and other tools.

The developers noted that the game balances between realistic and arcade car control – track features will affect car behavior: “You will have to drive on different road surfaces. Depending on the installed upgrades, the tires will either reliably grip the road, or the car will start to slide and fly off the track.”

You can add Half Grip to your Steam wishlist here. The game does not yet have a specific release date, but the studio has indicated a release window – the launch is expected by the end of 2026.
