War of Wheel is a fast-paced, adrenaline-fueled car-fighting game in arenas in a “medievalpunk” setting, an alternate Middle Ages in which ancient and modern are blended with a dash of magic. The player can choose from the many cars available, divided into six categories that trace the roles and imagery of fantasy classes in traditional RPGs, such as knight, ranger, mage, etc., each with a distinctive design and gameplay.

The game includes many arcade modes to be played solo or with a friend in local splitscreen and a single player campaign, in which players can discover the background of the setting.
