Warstride Challenges channels Doom, TrackMania and Super Meat Boy

Sharing is caring!

Warstride Challenges is designed to be a nimble, brutal, and rewarding first-person shooter enjoyed in short gameplay sessions. But it also hopes to teach everyone who plays it how to be a liquid-fast speedrunner.

The game was born out of the love a trio of the game’s developers have for fast ‘90s first-person shooters and a desire to make that already speedy gameplay even faster. The end result is Warstride Challenges, a game that they describe as a lovechild of Doom, TrackMania, and Super Meat Boy.

It is, as the studio name suggests, a dream-powered creation.

We chatted with Vincent Cabanas, who is working on the 3D art, level design, game design, and sound effects on the game at Dream Powered Games, about the inspiration and development of the shooter, why Unreal Engine was the best choice for development, and how the game hopes to inspire a new generation of speedrunners.
