Mechanics
Dangerous Golf combines elements present in the Burnout series, a shooter called Black, and a classic basketball arcade game NBA Jam. These influences are very easy to notice. During the game hitting the ball into the hole is not the main target. The title presents an extreme variation of golf in which the action takes place in untypical places, like a hotel kitchen, a palace ballroom, a gas station etc. By causing destruction, you gather points and money that you can spend on your golfer’s technique development and unlocking new shots and tricks. While bouncing off various surfaces and objects, the ball speeds up, catches fire, and spreads it all around.
Technical aspects
Dangerous Golf published on PC, PS4 and XONE is powered by Unreal Engine 4. Having worked closely with Epic and Nvidia, the developers adjusted the engine for their needs and utilised the newest advancements in physics simulation of objects. Thanks to that, players can breaks different items into thousands of tiny bits and watch their complex interactions.
