Clutch

A deserted research city becomes a lethal playground where speed matters more than careful aim. Clutch blends arcade racing, vehicular combat, and zombie survival in the aftermath of a Large Hadron Collider disaster that leaves the population transformed into violent undead. As one of the few survivors, you return to the sprawling abandoned complex in search of a cure, discovering that every trip through its streets demands a heavily armored ride and a willingness to smash through anything in the way. The tone is knowingly pulpy and frantic, closer to a B-movie demolition derby than a restrained post-apocalyptic drama.

Most missions put you behind the wheel for races, rescue operations, combat challenges, and other objective-driven events spread across an open city layout. Vehicles are more than transportation: each one serves as a weapon, with ramming, mounted firepower, and environmental collisions offering different ways to clear a route through zombie crowds and hostile rivals. Winning events and searching the map provides access to new vehicles, upgrades, and artifacts that alter performance or influence opponents, giving players reasons to experiment with their preferred machine. Damage physics make reckless impacts feel consequential, while the arcade handling keeps the focus on momentum rather than simulation-grade driving technique.

Its strongest idea is the collision of sandbox driving with a strange science-fiction zombie premise, where the same ruined streets can host a checkpoint race one moment and a desperate rescue run the next. Eight racing and combat modes prevent the campaign from becoming only a sequence of standard races, and the large LHC-based city encourages detours when players want to hunt for secrets or simply cause chaos. Visuals and combat can feel rough around the edges compared with bigger-budget racers, but that scrappy energy suits the game’s exaggerated destruction. Fans of Carmageddon-style vehicular mayhem, FlatOut’s aggressive racing, and undead action games should find plenty to enjoy, especially if they value unusual concepts over polished realism.
