Recently debuted on the Playstation Blog, SmuggleCraft isn't a new Minecraft clone; it's a hovercraft-racing game with customizable hovercrafts, procedurally-generated race tracks, and a storyline made to make players think while racing to deliver their smuggled goods.
GotGame's Josh Boykin went to Happy Badgers Studios and did some hands-on with an early build of SmuggleCraft.
SmuggleCraft is a game in which you design and build your own hovercraft in order to carry out missions for the inhabitants of Dirahl.
SmuggleCraft, which is probably best described as a quest-based hovercraft racer from indie developer Happy Badger Studio, has been released on the PC and PlayStation 4. The title is currently only available on the US PlayStation Store at the time of writing, and cannot yet be found on the UK PlayStation Store.
Phil writes, "So few racing games explore using hovercraft. For heaven's sake, Nintendo has all but forgotten the existence of F-Zero as a franchise, but at least PlayStation is bringing back Wipeout, albeit in a collection next month. Thus, we turn to indies for our hovercraft fix. If you're looking for a tight racer with excellent controls, St. Louis-based developer, Happy Badger Studio's game SmuggleCraft is one that nails that important gameplay aspect down pat. It also features a relatively appealing quest-based story mode as well. It's just that other aspects of SmuggleCraft don't go over as well as these."
