Race through blood-soaked gothic streets atop one of 12 unique vehicles as you seek answers behind the origin of this nightmare. Wield powerful weapons to reduce your opponents to scrap, slaughter beasts to raise your top speed, perform tricks and drifts to generate Æther to boost, and overcome challenging boss encounters to unlock the secrets behind this terrible dream.

As much as I had fun playing this.
This is ok right? Will I get into trouble?
Will there be a version for 32-bit systems?
This game is fantastic!
Fun races, rewarding battles, great music, good feel, good weapons, cool characters, nice references, full cutscenes, multiple match types, fast saves, new game + achievements and more!
Play this game, it's so much fun whether you love Souls or Kart games, but even if you just love one of those, it's a blast!
I absolutely LOVE this game. I grew up with the original Playstation and the Twisted Metal Series and have loved car combat games ever since. This game has a beautiful aesthetic and was so worth waiting for. Thank you LWMedia! Everything is very well done and I've been really enjoying it. So far I have 96 minutes on it and I played it for the first time on my Twitch stream yesterday. The only issue I had was my brain for some reason fell into ps1 mode and I didn't comprehend that I shoot behind and beside me like that of ps2 games. (That's how convincing this is) Even down to the UI is just beautiful. Below is the timestamped vod of me playing it. You can jump forward to when I finally figured out what I was doing for the Gregory fight at 2:58:36 if you want to skip me getting used to the game. I'd also like to note that the variation in game modes reminds me of WWE Crush Hour on PS2 (I mean this is the best way possible to represent variety and fun since most people didn't like that game but I did)
Game was short but an absolute BOMB! Especially the vast amount of graphics options too. This game was super fun to play especially since you get more and more new game+ modes.
will yall have a discord for bloodborne PSX update?
Masterpiece
bloodborn but its fun
Incredibly funny, I love it. This is what gaming should be.
Dark souls kart when?
What a great game. Bloodborne plus Mario Kart, what a combo. I have a short write-up here talking about my love for this game!
Love this game! Reminds me of playing Nightmare Creatures on PS1 mixed with Mario Kart...so you're scratching my nostalgic itch (what what?) so good!!
I haven't had this much fun with a kart racer since mario kart! You literally made my day with this. I hope you enjoy the video.
Very good game
realy good
Great job
Tremendo juego! muy bueno!
Can this game be played on a PlayStation emulator like duckstation?
This game wants to take an aesthetic of play station games, but it is only appearance. The game cannot be played on any platform other than PC.
Dude great job ma
Had some fun! might come back to this soon!
I wish there's a star rating for every game on itch so I can give my downloaded games a star rating and I loved the game but I couldn't pass a certain level so I'll give this a 5 star rating if i could
There actually kind of is, the problem is that I don't think you can scrape the ratings you've given.
Here's the one for this game: https://b0tster.itch.io/nmkart/rate?source=game
thank gods for this system I hope for a best revie
yeag
honestly i have been playing alot of indie games here on itch.io and so i wan not expecting a full blown gaming experience, what i assumed was going to be a 30 minute concept or school project became a game i have sunk hours into now and i look forward to its development, honestly my current favorite game i have found here on itch.io and wish you all the best in your endeavors! to anyone reading , i beg you to check it out and throw a few USD towards it to help fund!
amazing game, looks beautiful. very happy to see a ps1 style game actually supporting low resolutions for once! lol
Seems to always start fullscreen and forget resolution settings. Not being able to rebind steering is problematic.
Still can't use anything besides A+D to steer on keyboard without using a keymapper. Considering how many similar games use arrow keys to steer instead, this is still absolutely a deal-breaker for my immersion.
dude this is fucking amazing! great job!
Bloodborne kart on PC before GTA 6
I'd much rather have Bloodborne 2 or a PC port for 1. This however, will suffice.
Super fun.
Indie devs: lets make... a horror ... retro style... PS1 game.
You do realize this isn't a horror game, right? It was originally inspired by Bloodbourne
Bloodborne is, arguably, eldritch horror in the 1800.
this game is awesome
exelent
This was amazing! Supernicely done! <3
Game was short but an absolute BOMB! Especially the vast amount of graphics options too. This game was super fun to play especially since you get more and more new game+ modes. Spoilers alert!
Refuse at the end.
