En resumen, Concept Destruction es un videojuego de destrucción de carreras de coches, donde nos divertiremos mucho pasando por los más de 4 modos de juego diferentes que tiene. El diseño de niveles y coches, simulando como si fuera todo de papel y carton, es muy agradable y acertado. Tiene modo multijugador donde podrás retar y competir contra tus amigos en línea para ver quien es el mejor en el modo Campeonato. ¿Serás capaz de conseguir el primer puesto? Nosotros si hemos podido!

In conclusion, Concept Destruction is a nice idea let down a little in terms of the sheer scarcity of it all.  Shame the Vita port didn’t come to pass, though we won’t mark it down for that.

In other words, Concept Destruction feels more like a really great demo or a proof of concept than a full-fledged must-play game. What’s here is good, but with a few big tweaks and additions this could have been great. As it stands, this is a fun way to spend an hour or so, but if you want more than that, you’ll just have to wait for the developers to flesh this out a little (or rather, a lot) more.

While Concept Destruction sounds great, it’s far from perfect. Considering you can get knocked out pretty quickly by losing your battery (and this can happen often back to back) and you can reach a level of impossible driving, it does hamper the fun. Had it been a bit more lenient in its authenticity and forgo the battery, this game could’ve provided hours of fun. Instead, you’ll boot it up with friends for a race and two and be done.

Managing your boost and knowing when to put your foot down becomes a key component to success, but there are moments where you’ll be dinged from the back and taken out entirely, which can be frustrating. You can tweak the settings to alter the difficulty, and there’s local multiplayer to keep you engaged. But this is a novelty at best, and once you’ve squashed a few cardboard cars, you won’t be coming back.

So, that is the sum of the experience on offer in Concept Destruction on Xbox One. It’s fun while it lasts, but apart from some interesting achievements to find and unlock, once you’ve done so the urge to play again evaporates like the morning dew in a blast furnace. It’s a fun diversion, but sadly it doesn’t last long enough. I fear this will suffer the same fate as a lot of Ratalaika Games titles – once all the achievements have been rinsed, it’s a one way trip to Uninstallsville. It’s a shame really, as the “Concept” does have legs. It’s just a shame those legs appear to be made of cardboard. 

Concept Destruction is instantly accessible a neat take on the Destruction Derby set on table tops with cardboard cars. There’s some odd rules that can cause a headache and there’s not a lot of content here. After a few hours, you’ll have seen everything the game has under the hood. The local 2-player mode is welcome but the game is crying out for an online battle mode. It won’t be challenging Wreckfest for its crown but if you’re looking for a few hours of brainless crashing and bashing on a budget, you’ll find it here.

Overall the game is OK, and I would recommend if you want the closest thing to a modern-day Destruction Derby.  I would raise caution and lower expectations as it seems stuck in the past, with there being only a few modes and no online.

Concept Destruction es un videojuego que ofrece entretenimiento fresco y directo al grano. Es todo un acierto por parte del desarrollador alejarse de las carreras – género en el que es difícil aportar algo nuevo – para ofrecer una mecánica diferente con la que descargar toda nuestra rabia. Tiene algunos aspectos mejorables, como el manejo de la cámara, pero es absurdamente divertido reventar coches.
