'Instruments of Destruction' Early Access Update Adds Vehicle Sharing, Campaign Updates And More

by Rainier on March 28, 2022 @ 4:55 p.m. PDT

Instruments Of Destruction is a vehicle-building sandbox featuring advanced physics-based destruction.

Create crazy construction vehicles and use them to demolish buildings and complete various objectives.

You can demolish every structure in the game piece by piece. In addition, every object you see in the game world--save for small decorative plants and rocks--is part of the physics system. Each element of the world interacts with each other and together they create a physical, visceral world to play with.

Build a vehicle your way, with an ever-expanding array of parts and pieces. Using an intuitive vehicle construction system that also lets you customize your vehicles' appearance and controls, you'll always have fun creating your next awesome invention.

From simple splitters to advanced joints, a variety of parts slowly unlock as you play through the game, and each unlocks countless new possibilities.

While some vehicles will perform better than others in accomplishing your objectives, it's always a bit more fun to get creative and go a little off script. Optional bonus challenges and objectives will reward more creative builders and add more replayability.

Radiangames is bringing several updates to Instruments of Destruction.

Vehicle Sharing is in!

Looking to spread the seeds of destruction? Radiangames has introduced an update that allows players to share their custom vehicles with others! The Steam Workshop has already had hundreds of vehicles added to its library to support this feature [687 at the time of writing]. With new parts being added to the garage every week. This means there will constantly be new increasingly customized community creations that will help you become the dictator of destruction!

The Junkyard Journey Continues!
Radiangames has added a new star system to provide more replayability to the main campaign. Allowing for new challenges that change the way you interact with the world. With all-new structure, layout, and level editor updates arriving in the next 2 months, there will be plenty of ways to enjoy the Instruments of Destruction experience!

Instruments Of Destruction is now available through Steam Early Access for $19.99 and will remain in Early Access until late 2023 or beyond.

Key Features:

  • ADVANCED PHYSICS-BASED DESTRUCTION - You can demolish every structure in the game piece by piece. In addition, every object you see in the game world--save for small decorative plants and rocks--is part of the physics system. Each element of the world interacts with each other and together they create a physical, visceral world to play with.
  • BUILD UNIQUE VEHICLES - Build a vehicle your way, with an ever-expanding array of parts and pieces. Using an intuitive vehicle construction system that also lets you customize your vehicles' appearance and controls, you'll always have fun creating your next awesome invention.
  • SINGLEPLAYER CAMPAIGN + PROGRESSION - The first time you unlock a level, you will be provided with everything you need to complete simple objectives, and will be required to use certain parts and adhere to certain limits.
  • HARDCORE MODE - Complete a level in the campaign, and you'll unlock the same level in sandbox mode, and later it will become available in hardcore mode. Hardcore is similar to the main campaign, but will use more timers, add more difficult objectives, and limit the parts in different ways.
  • SANDBOX MODE - Finally, sandbox mode lets you use any unlocked part, and as many parts as you want (up to your current max based on progression), to complete more relaxed challenges on any completed level, or to just build and destroy stuff for fun.
  • FUTURE PLANS - Those 3 modes will be present at EA launch, but additional features and content will be added during Early Access. Additional details will be coming as new features are nearing completion.
  • Original Soundtrack: Radiangames is also thrilled to once again be featuring an original soundtrack composed by Auvic. The brilliant musician was also responsible for the retro-modern soundtrack for the developer's previous Apple Arcade title, Speed Demons.

Instruments Of Destruction is coming to PC (Steam), with console versions to follow in 2023 or beyond.
