BallisticNG is a high speed, all thrills anti-gravity combat racer and open modding environment developed as a tribute to old school classics such as Wipeout, Rollcage and Jet Moto. Set throughout the 2159 Anti-Gravity League, you glide and speed through futuristic race courses armed to the teeth with deadly weapons to aid you in taking first place.
Features
- A track for every skill level, a ship for every play style
With a huge and ever expanding roster of tracks and ships, BallisticNG is a content powerhouse and has something for everybody.
- Start slow, go as fast as you can handle
With 5 speed classes and gameplay modifiers to manipulate the base speed of each class, you can race at speeds anywhere between a snail's pace or breaking the sound barrier on every straight.
- A variety of content categories
BallisticNG features a variety of different content categories to keep you busy, featuring standard content, drag content, drift content and small vehicle content. Vehicles and tracks from each category of content are interchangable so you can play how you want!
- Smart Assists
New to anti-gravity racers? No problem! BallisticNG features assists that aid with steering, pitching and airbrakes independently. These work by letting the game's AI make input suggestions to your ship, which adapt to your own inputs so it stays out of the way when not needed.

Put your skills to the test with BallisticNGs massive campaign, featuring a large range of game modes and various challenges.

Pick up weapons from the track and blast your way through the competition. We have a sizeable arsenal of weapons with each serving a particular purpose.
