Guts and Glory is a humorous and brutal arcade racing game in 3D, in which even reaching the finish line is the greatest challenge. This is because everything in the game’s world – from wooden logs, through stones, towers and explosive, up to buzzsaws – is trying to kill us.

Technical aspects

Guts and Glory is an unusual racing game, in which even ending the race is a challenge. Tracks are filled with obstacles such as rocks, logs falling from above, bombs and blades that can quickly end our adventure. Quite obviously, the title is brutal and gory. It was developed by HakJak Productions.

Game mechanics

Guts and Glory is a rather simple game. We observe the world from a third-person perspective, with a camera placed behind our character. We select a vehicle and a track and then try to reach the finish line while avoiding many obstacles along the way. Developers provided us with varied and amusing roads (we can choose e.g. forests, highways and towns), but we aren’t limited to predetermined courses. The game features a complex editor for creating our own tracks, which can also be shared with others thanks to integration with Steam Workshop.

Game modes

Guts and Glory is purely single player game and offers no form of multiplayer experience.

Technical aspects

Guts and Glory uses simple, but functional three-dimensional visuals. The one thing where the game somewhat shines are characters’ animations, especially with grotesque and gory death scenes.

NintyBuzz: by Leon Fletcher

Guts and Glory is a very fun and hilarious game but is largely let down by the broken camera, heavy framerate dips, omitted content, and poor graphics. It's a shame because it has the potential to be a great Switch title with a decent price, but in all honesty, it should have gotten a lot more polish before being submitted onto the Nintendo Switch eShop.

It's absolutely crazy, off the wall, batshit insane. It is basically just Happy Wheels but in 3D, bundled with all the gore, characters and “charm”. If you can even call it charm. Sadistic charm is probably better.

Guts and Glory isn't the first, and won't be the last title that lost its playability being ported to the Switch (WWE 2K18 comes to mind). It's another example of all ports not being equal as developers still struggle to discover all of the ins and out of the porting process. If getting sliced in half or impaled by a buzzsaw is a can't miss experience, I would recommend looking at another platform to play it on.
