What people are saying
Players love the chaotic fun but lament the tiny player base.
Players overwhelmingly praise the game as a blast of orky vehicular combat, calling it the most fun combat racer on Steam and comparing it to classics like Twisted Metal and Team Fortress 2. Many describe it as criminally underrated and a perfect adaptation of Warhammer 40k's Ork aesthetic. [3][6][19][5]
The dominant criticism is the extremely low player count, which makes finding full human lobbies difficult and leads to host-disconnect issues. Some players also fault the switch from free-to-play to a $20 price tag for killing the community, and note the lack of matchmaking and single-player content. [30][34][35][10]
Praised fun chaotic gameplay · orky theming · good combat racing mechanics

positive · AI labelView post →THE GAME: Warhammer 40,000 is a squad-level minatures game, which means it is about moving little men across a table which represents part of a planet and pretending that the little men are shooting and punching each other. Jules Verne did this too, so it's intellectual
positive · AI labelView post →I'm going to give you my perspective as someone who came into this game recently. It hurts me to give this a bad review, but I cannot in good faith recommend anyone pick up the game at this point in its' life. The gameplay itself is awesome and a lot of fun. The problem is there is no player base left for this game, which in a multiplayer focused game is a death sentence. Depending on when you play there is likely no one else online and the highest player count I've seen in a game is 8…

neutral · AI labelView post →Genuinely such a fun game, and with crossplay coming out, there's more lobbies. Also if I host a lobby, it fills up with players within a couple of minutes. This is the first time I've seen people saying a game is dead/dying, and just decided to go play it and help inflate the numbers and have some fun - instead of doing what we all normally do.... Which is not play it "because it's not got many players" which then becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. It's a good quality, crisp and fun game.…

Ive only played for an hour, and I havent had a single match last until the end. They need to give this game some love and ad normal matchmaking so we dont have worry about the host rage quitting.

Edit: Note that all my playtime is just farming for Steam Cards; I might as well get something out of my purchase. Post Edit: Developer claims it's not always online DRM but essential to the game play; however the game has bots & they're ready to make it offline if they're unable to data harvest enough to pay for the server.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A great little game that sets out to do one thing and does it perfectly. This is a team combat racing game, that is easy to pick up and play, and difficult to master. It lets you play as the insane speed maniac orks of the WH40K setting. The WH40K ambiance is on point and there's no orkier game around. Just hearing players scream "Waagh!" in chat will bring a smile to your face. The art direction is great, and the graphics really look like the WH40K figurines. The weapon and engine sounds…

neutral · AI labelView post →This game deserves more recognition. Literally modern day Twisted Metal (an icon of classic gaming) and it went completely unappreciated. Unfortunately, the devs for some reason thought that changing it from F2P to $20 was a good business model to expand the player base...... forced obsolescence??? #makespeedfreeksgreatagain

Everything felt flawless and smooth even the sound effects to the dopamine effect you would get from killing players! HOWEVER them switching from Free to play (FTP) to $20 absolutely killed the player base...it was so small as it was. Them moving forward with this decision absolutely killed this game. Its heart breaking because now its…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Super cool game, but the community is virtually dead. When you do find a server, the host quits and the whole thing restarts. I've finished very few games because of this.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →So I’d written about the first Warhammer 40,000 Space Marine before, which I’d assumed was the first ever Games Workshop Space Marine, but turns out that accolade goes to ‘Doctor Who: The Game of Time & Space’ from 1980.
neutral · AI labelView post →Waiting for this game to go on sale so I can gift it to all my friends. I feel like this game didn't get any marketing, because I've seen zero mention of it on WH40k social media or Youtube, before AND after release. I found this while browsing Steam. The gameplay is fun, but as far as I know, there isn't a way to just shuffle the game modes in one server instead of having to jump out, change the game mode and re-invite everyone. The game also immediately puts you in to the match when you join…

neutral · AI labelView post →I have had more fun with Speed Freeks than any other multiplayer game in the last few years. I haven't had this kind of fun with a game since playing Team Fortress 2 or Counter Strike: Source when I was a teenager - the kind of fun where you feel like you're playing a game to have FUN, not just to level up, grind a battlepass, unlock loot boxes, etc. Please don't let the low player count dissuade you from trying this out - seriously, almost all of my games have started with lobbies of myself…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Honestly a game that deserves more recognition. If you like Rocket League you should check it out. Fun gameplay although a bit rough around the edges and unfortunately not a lot of human players, although full lobies can be a blast. Maybe if the bots become more lifelike, people will be playing this for years to come in PvE.
