It’s Your Way Or The Sorbet
The unexpectedly cut-throat world of local frozen dairy treat sales is the setting for the latest release from Edinburgh’s Ant Workshop, with the release of Ice Cream Wars.
Released for the PC via Steam and on Nintendo Switch, Ice Cream Wars challenges players to find and sell the good townsfolk of Rippleville, their choice of refrigerated confectionary before the competition shows up. Think of it as a high-octane, cartoony cross between Crazy Taxi and the original GTA and you’re not far away.
Let’s Find Out More…
For too long Gelatoni’s had the run of this town. With his monopoly over ice cream delivery enforced by thugs in souped-up trucks, and generous bribes making sure the law turns a blind eye, he’s been able to force the innocent hard-working people of Rippleton to pay over the odds for their gelato fix for decades.
Well no more, it’s high time someone stood up to this injustice! Your buddy has borrowed money from an unsavoury character and bought a battered old van, and the pair of you are going to take the fight to the streets and show these punks there are new kids in town and you’re hungry for success.
And look, if you happen to make yourselves a load of lovely cash in the process, well that’s just win/win isn’t it?
Time to show some scumbags it’s your way or the sorbet!
Features
- High octane ice cream delivery thrills (and spills) with a score-based challenge. How much can you sell?
- Speed your way around three districts of Rippleton – the suburbs (easy: loads of kids out playing, perfect selling location), beach (medium: hot, but everyone’s too busy concentrating on their tan), and downtown (hard: don’t want to risk dripping all over their fancy suits).
- Loads of weird power-ups to help take down your rivals.
- Upgrade your old van in a whole load of ways each run. From simple stuff like speed and stock capacity, all the way up to auto-targeting drive-by gelato distribution on the move.
- Fulfil increasingly outrageous payment demands from an unsympathetic loan shark.
- An ice cream tank? (Is this right? It doesn’t sound like a real thing)
