What is Gearshifters?
A single-player, top-down vehicle shooter set in a lawless future Europe, where you work as a courier. You dodge gunfire, attack convoys, and fight heavily armed boss vehicles across a series of zones. Delivery payments fund weapons, defenses, and performance upgrades for your car.
