Rover Raid

ROVER RAID

Rover Raid is an off-road physics and logistics simulator set on the red planet. Operating remotely from the orbital mothership Mars Express, you command heavy-duty rovers across the treacherous dunes of Mars to fulfill high-stakes transport contracts, recover scientific prototypes, and keep frontier outposts alive.

KEY FEATURES

Physics-Driven Off-Road Handling: Master realistic vehicle suspension, dynamic tire traction, and cargo weight distribution across sandy dunes, steep canyons, and salt flats.

Interactive 3D Showroom & Upgrades: Customize your rover inside a fully interactive garage. Upgrade engines, transmissions, heavy-duty suspension, extra cargo capacity, and high-pressure Nitro boosters with real-time diagnostic telemetry.

Agnostic Cargo & Logistics System: Carry mixed crates (Iron Ore, Medical Supplies, Industrial Tools) where unit mass directly affects your vehicle handling and braking distance.

Orbital Telemetry & Expanding Signal: Explore safely within the mothership's radio cone. Expand your operational zone by deploying and aligning long-range relay towers.

Deep Martian Lore & Full Radio Cast: Interact with Base RED manager Magnus Drayk and Mars Express flight operator Lira through fully voice-acted radio transmissions.

DEVELOPMENT STATUS & FEEDBACK

Rover Raid is being built in public using Godot 4.7.1. We would love to hear your thoughts on vehicle physics, terrain challenges, and garage UI.
