Domipheus Labs has announced their new racing title Gears of Glory: Apex Ace which is to be released on IndieCity sometime in May.

Gears of Glory is pitched as bringing a little more of a competitive edge to casual racing. In essence, this basically means that the game is easy to pick up for just about anyone willing but rather than just having zip around circuits there are “dynamic challenges, multiplayer, on-the-fly news and real-timeleaderboards” to keep you occupied and hopefully competing.

There should be plenty of content too, what with 24 season tier circuits and achievements to pursue. Let’s not forget that the game also comes with a track creator too, enabled so you can share with friends and compete with them on your creations too.

As you can probably see in the trailer below, Gears of Glory is designed with low spec PCs in mind as well as those with low funds in their banks. It’s not going to blow your mind graphically but if you enjoy pursuing the perfect lines in a competitive racing environment then you should find its gameplay a just serving.

“I am a fan of F1 and ‘sim’ racers – for them throttle control, braking zones and turn in points are some of the main skills one needs to master, and have focused on those points in the gameplay,” said Colin Riley, the sole developer of Domipheus. “You try to get best laps, around circuits with challenging corners. Dynamic boards update your rank on the fly and tell you how far you need to go to rank up again. But, with other people playing, you can be ranked down at any time – and again you will be told how much time you need to find on your lap to climb the boards once more.”

You can find out more information on Gears of Glory: Apex Ace over on its official website.
