Apr 12, 2017So, is it worth investing your money and time in either the Snowbound or Elite Class DLC packs for Mantis Burn Racing? Well, if you’ve found yourself maxing out everything that the standard career brings, then it’s a bit of a no-brainer and you’ll want to get yourself involved asap. The cheap price and free-ness of Snowbound warrant that at the very least.

Nov 2, 2016Overall, it’s great to see a new top-down racer that isn’t just a re-hashed mobile game, and one that handles well to boot. It can be a blast with a few mates on the couch and has a fully fledged campaign that doesn’t resort to just getting three stars per race for when your mates are off doing less fun things.

Nov 2, 2016I love top down racers, and Mantis Burn Racing does a great job at being accessible for casual racers, yet it has enough features and a full bodied career mode for those that want to dive in deeper.

Oct 13, 2016Mantis Burn Racing is trying to be nothing more than a fun, top down arcade racer and it easily succeeds in this.

Oct 13, 2016It stands out from the typical racing game you see today and it’s much more affordable. Although I have some minor complaints, its strengths greatly outweigh them.

Oct 12, 2016Handling can make or break a racing game, and thankfully the VooFoo development team have got the balance just right, with controls feeling responsive and vehicles behaving just as you’d expect them to.

Oct 17, 2016They don’t come around as often anymore, but Mantis Burn Racing shows that the topdown racer is still alive and kicking. It excels in being a casual and accessible racer for newcomers with excellent and responsive controls while offering a robust and challenging career mode for the hardcore. While the load times can sometimes get annoying between races, the actual gameplay is fun whether you’re playing solo or with your buddies.
-
Nov 2, 2016Mantis Burn Racing is worth the time for arcade racing fans.

Oct 13, 2016A frantic and fun top-down arcade racer, with lots of modes and great visuals but with an uninspired art design.
