Key information
Developer Half Games has announced that a demo for their upcoming title, Half Grip, will be released to coincide with the Steam Next Fest: October 2026 Edition, which begins on October 20.
The game is a roguelike combat racing title where players must perform all actions using only one hand. This constraint applies to steering, shooting, and reloading, making every split-second decision critical to survival as players compete to reach the top position.
Players can equip various weapons such as shotguns, pistols, and submachine guns, or utilize tools like landmines and magnets to gain an advantage. The roguelike structure ensures that every race offers a unique experience, allowing for diverse machine builds ranging from drift-focused cars to aerodynamic speedsters.
The driving mechanics aim to balance realism with arcade-style handling, with machine performance influenced by specific upgrades. Players can earn prize money to unlock new weapons and modifications, while also customizing their vehicle's color to suit their personal style.
