Hardtrace is a couch vs. couch party game for up to 12 players (14 online) that combines refined Tron-like gameplay with portals. The top-down view makes the battles between players clear, but also chaotic. You play for the highest score in nine-minute matches, controlling a vehicle called a "Tracer" that leaves a broken and deadly trail behind it. Victory depends solely on your skills, observation, and strategy. Thanks to these, you can cut up your teammates, collect their unsaved points, and disappear before someone does the same to you. How is this different from the classic snake? In Hardtrace, it's no problem to get to the other side of the playing field in a fraction of a second. Portals, speed, and chaos change everything. The usual rules don't apply here. Enjoy Hardtrace. KEY GAME FEATURES Portals and instant turns : Quickly move around the map and maneuver precisely in various situations.
