Carmageddon: Rogue Shift

The OuterHavenJosh Piedra

The Outerhaven reviews the arcade battle racing roguelite Carmageddon: Rogue Shift, the sixth installment in the Carmageddon series, to see if the gameplay still holds up. I mean, who doesn't like blowing up cars in a dystopian world.

In the '90s and '00s, vehicular combat games were commonplace. Franchises like Twisted Metal, Burnout, and Carmageddon were instrumental in establishing the brand of high-octane, aggressive driving that is much rarer in 2026. Though Twisted Metal and Burnout have been dormant for years, Carmageddon: Rogue Shift introduces a roguelite right turn to the genre, proving that while the vehicular combat genre often feels like a relic from a bygone era, it still has some gas left in the tank.

A rather unique roguelite racer spin-off with the destruction dial up to the max - this is our Carmageddon: Rogue Shift review.

7/10

Carmageddon is back, reborn as a roguelike racer with heaps of car combat. The core gameplay is fun, but Carmageddon: Rogue Shift is ultimately let down by its near non-existent event variety.

5/10

A roguelite, track-based take on Carmageddon’s usual zombie squashing, where skill matters less than permanent upgrades and the random weapons available in its store.
