Cmoar Studio has announced The Karters; a racing game that is by Crash Team Racing’s gameplay and overall design. As the press release reads, The Karters aims to invoke its nostalgia but also grab the attention of a new generation of players, to whom the legendary Crash Team Racing is perhaps a less familiar title.
Sebastian Boczek, CEO of Cmoar Studio, said:
“While browsing through various forums about CTR, it became clear to me that the community shares our desire for a more up-to-date karting game, especially the one that would support online multiplayer. I realize that Crash Team Racing is a legend that set the bar high. However, by putting a strong emphasis on the mechanics and marking the game with its unique style, we do hope The Karters will bring players lots of joy and pure fun.”
The game has hit Greenlight on April 28th to gain the initial exposure, with an intention to release an Early Access in May/June.
Its Early Access version will feature:
- 5 unique characters, each brought to life with beautiful animations
- 4 exciting maps (Lush Jungle, Sundown Beach, Dusty Canyon, Rave Town)
- Battle Arena, where you can smash your opponents
- Multiple shattering weapons to finish off your rivals
- Conquer your opponents in single player mode…
- … outsmart your friends in local multiplayer…
- … or finally, compete with the players from all around the world in global multiplayer
Its final version will feature:
- 10-12 characters,
- 12-16 exciting maps
- 4 Battle Arena maps
- Even bigger number of weapons, each having unique properties
- Global game ranking
Enjoy!

One inspired by Tribes on the previous article, now another inspired by Mario Kart.
Let’s do a bet of what the next one will be. My guess is… one inspired by creativity. *snark**snark*.
Lack of creativity doesn’t mean lack of fun. Developpers aim for different goals. Your goal as a customer is to play new creative game ? Ok, then this is not for you :(.
The “fun” part on my life is made of sarcasm, irony, and a extremely high dose of silliness.
Don’t take anything I say seriously, please.
Nope, all serious and business no fun and games here on DSO. Games are for basement dwelling nerds. We talk about visual experiences and walking simulators here.
Haha, I love how the user named “(.)(.)” upvoted your comment because they didn’t see your joke.

Nobody understands meeeee 🙁
sweet
those games succeeded because they featured iconic characters, and the gameplay just happened to be sufficient enough to entertain the crowds.
This will fail because of effort gone into character creation, you cant just slap what looks to be…a..are those furries?…those are friggin furries!. This is going to bomb….bad.
The actual marketing material uses “inspired by Crash Team Racing’s gameplay”. When you’re using another games success, a game that never saw a pc release, to try and promote your own unproven studio and IP, you need to go back to the drawing board.
From those screens and video, this looks like a lazy generic rip off of every other successful racer out there along with that F1 racers game on psn….this has nothing unique.
