Gameplay
In the game it is possible to unlock tracks and cars. You can prevent your opponents from winning by using various items (weapons) that are collected during the journey.
Game modes
There are seven different types of games.
- Individual Race: A race in which the player drives against computer-controlled enemy vehicles. Before that, he can choose between the unlocked cars and routes. In addition, he can adjust settings such as number of laps, items etc. as desired.
- Championship: Here you drive to unlock cars and tracks, whereby the number of laps and the track are given. Only the level of difficulty and the vehicle can be freely chosen. There are four different cups that can be unlocked one after the other: 1. Bronze Cup; 2. Silver Cup; 3. Gold Cup; 4. Platinum Cup
- Time trial: Here you drive against a given time to buy cars. After the given time has been beaten, the player can drive against his own best times. In the main menu there is a link to the best times on the different routes.
- Training: Here you can drive around freely on the normal routes. There are no items, opponents or round limits, but there is a star on every level. If the star is found in enough surroundings, new vehicles will be purchased.
- Stunt arena: In the stunt arena you have to touch all 20 stars in order to play the Clockwork Carnage mode. The rules are the same as for training, except that you drive around in an additional arena with ramps, looping and halfpipe .
- Clockwork Carnage: This type of game lets one of 30 mini cars drive that tip over very quickly or are affected by the weapons (items). You drive on a route you have chosen yourself.
- Multiplayer: In order to be able to use this mode , several computers have to be networked with each other, because here you drive against human opponents.
- Course editor: In the course editor the player can build his own courses. In which the player can then drive against the computer or against a friend in multiplayer mode
In all selected modes, with the exception of the multiplayer mode, you can choose the level of difficulty yourself, ranging from beginners, easy, medium to difficult.
Cars and tracks
The game offers 28 different and 4 model vehicles that can be unlocked through race victories. These can be used on 13 routes, some of which are also only activated during the course of the game.
Development history

In 2013 the game was ported to Android by WeGo Interactive Co., LTD and has been available in the Play Store since April 26, 2013 .
The Windows version of Re-Volt was re- released on October 3, 2013 via digital distributor gog.com . This release is based on the community version 1.2 beta from February 2011 (not the last alpha) with additional support for the original CD music tracks as MP3 files. However, on January 14, 2014 the game was withdrawn at the instigation of the developers of the 1.2 beta patch.
