Guts and Glory is a humorous and brutal arcade racing game in 3D, in which even reaching the finish line is the greatest challenge. This is because everything in the game’s world – from wooden logs, through stones, towers and explosive, up to buzzsaws – is trying to kill us.
Guts and Glory is an unusual racing game, in which even ending the race is a challenge. Tracks are filled with obstacles such as rocks, logs falling from above, bombs and blades that can quickly end our adventure. Quite obviously, the title is brutal and gory. It was developed by HakJak Productions.
Guts and Glory is a rather simple game. We observe the world from a third-person perspective, with a camera placed behind our character. We select a vehicle and a track and then try to reach the finish line while avoiding many obstacles along the way. Developers provided us with varied and amusing roads (we can choose e.g. forests, highways and towns), but we aren’t limited to predetermined courses. The game features a complex editor for creating our own tracks, which can also be shared with others thanks to integration with Steam Workshop.
Guts and Glory is purely single player game and offers no form of multiplayer experience.
Guts and Glory uses simple, but functional three-dimensional visuals. The one thing where the game somewhat shines are characters’ animations, especially with grotesque and gory death scenes.

Game Ratings for Guts and Glory Video Game.
ZTGD: 4.5 / 10 by Drew Leachman
I would say if you're looking for a trial and error game with high difficulty, but rewarding game play, go for Trials over Guts and Glory. You'll get a few laughs seeing how characters die, but in the end, it becomes frustrating far too quickly.
Games Xtreme:
The graphics are not overly impressive but they fit the purpose well. From time to time, you will see some rather amusing glitches, though, but none of them is game-breaking. The music is pretty good and, just like the graphics, it really fits the atmosphere well. I'm not sure I can pinpoint my favorite track, but I can say that I didn't dislike a single one, which is more than great.
Nintendo Life: 4 / 10 by Dom Reseigh-Lincoln
Guts and Glory is a really fun little indie that's burst out of the gates and onto Nintendo Switch, but the porting process has taken its toll. The basic rinse and repeat nature of its challenges and the madcap bloodbath of its physics are a laugh-out-loud combination while they last, but without the long-term appeal of the map editor and its library of user-generated content, the Switch version suffers as a result.
