Trailmakers offers an incredibly robust and intuitive vehicle-building experience, seamlessly blending creative freedom with thrilling action across diverse environments. From intricate flying machines to robust land vehicles and swift aquatic crafts, this action game allows players to design almost anything imaginable.

With reliable physics, the possibilities for unique and functional designs are truly endless. This dedication to realistic mechanics ensures that every vehicle you build, from a simple buggy to a complex flying fortress, behaves predictably. Trailmakers’ building mechanic, intricate yet intuitive, lets you select already-made vehicles from the game or the community workshop, or fully customize your own.

Unleash your inner engineer and combatant

Trailmakers excels at providing a flexible and engaging gameplay loop. The Pioneers campaign offers a structured yet open-world adventure where players unlock new parts and tackle varied missions, culminating in battles against the resource-hoarding BOTNAKs. This campaign thoughtfully introduces players to the building mechanics while providing a narrative purpose. Beyond the story, the are dedicated sandbox maps, offering unfettered creative freedom to experiment with designs in space, water, and on land.

The game boasts a diverse arsenal of 14 weapons, including miniguns, EMPs, and rocket launchers, enabling exciting PvP combat scenarios across all terrains. While the combat adds a fun layer of destruction and competitive spirit, some players might find that the sheer variety of weapons, while appealing, can sometimes lead to an overwhelming sense of choice and a steep learning curve in mastering their effective use against varied player-built vehicles.

Multiplayer is a core strength, allowing two to eight players to collaborate on builds, test creations, or engage in chaotic skirmishes. The integration of the workshop further enhances this, providing a vast library of community-made vehicles to download and inspire. However, the experience can sometimes be hindered by server stability issues, especially in larger multiplayer lobbies, potentially leading to disconnections or lag that disrupt the flow of creative building and intense combat alike.
