Monster Truck Destruction

Monster Truck Destruction (MTD) is a free-to-play mobile app available on the App Store, Google Play, Kindle Fire, and PC. The game was announced on December 5th, 2012, and was released on August 30th, 2013, by ODD Games.

Gameplay[]

The game features 95 available monster trucks (87 standard sized trucks, as well as six mini-monster trucks and two tanks).

In-game cash is awarded for winning, regardless of the mode. This cash can be used for purchasing upgrades, new trucks, and used to pay for repairs after competitions.

The game's Championship mode features the player touring on the Monster Truck Destruction Tour. Only 23 trucks require actual, real cash to be purchased, with each being for $2.99, except for the pickup truck body Virginia Beach Beast.

In 2015, MTD was released for the PC on Steam and the game was updated with new trucks. The trucks in MTD take damage, as far as losing fiberglass and wheels to damaging the chassis. In all modes (except for Practice) repair fees will have to be paid for with in-game cash. A sequel of the game, Monster Truck Destruction 2, is currently being developed. However there is no expectation for when it will be finished.

Game modes[]

Championship[]

Compete with 12 other AI trucks on an 8-stop, 16 event Monster Truck Destruction Tour. Compete for points, and winning 1st place by the end of the tour will reward the player $100,000 in-game cash and winning 2nd rewarded the player with $50,000 in-game cash.

West[]

Competition is usually easier on this tour with easier racing tracks, however, winning these tour stops would not receive the player as much cash. After the Side By Side mode was added, this tour expanded to having 24 events.

East[]

Competition is harder on this tour with longer, more complex racing tracks. Winning resulted in the player being rewarded with more in game cash. After the Side By Side mode was added, this tour expanded to having 24 events.

Central[]

Competition is at it’s peak on this tour, with the largest and most complex racing tracks. Winning resulted in the player being rewarded even more in game cash.

Winter[]

Competition is also hard on this tour, with short but complex racing tracks. Winning will give a good amount of in game cash.

Single Player[]

Single player allows for the player to compete in only one competition at a time, unlike the Championship mode. Four modes are available- drag, freestyle, side-by-side, and practice.

Drag[]

Compete with 12 AI trucks for the racing trophy. Regardless of the mode, qualifying must be competed in. The top 8 from qualifying will go on to compete in elimination-style bracket racing. Eventually, an option was added to disable crush cars in drag races for single player.

Freestyle[]

Compete with 12 other AI trucks for the freestyle trophy. The player is given 1 minute to freestyle, and gaining points will result in the player receiving overtime. If a rollover happens during the freestyle, the player will lose overtime and the clock will go down to 3 seconds before their freestyle is over.

Side-By-Side[]

Compete with 8 trucks and no qualifying, unlike normal drag racing. Trucks start and end at the same lines and run one lane, leading to many collisions between trucks. Courses also have new line layouts and don't have cars in this mode. This is the newest mode in the game.

Practice[]

Practice puts the player on the freestyle course for whichever event the player chose, however, unlike freestyle, there is no time limit, but no cash award is given (as there is no competition). The player is given the option to drive around on the track until the truck lost all four of its tires.

Trucks[]

Each truck in this game can be purchased with in-game cash (except for 23 as these cost real cash to purchase).

These trucks require real money to purchase. ($2.99 each, except for the pickup truck body Virginia Beach Beast which is $1.99)

Beta Trucks[]

The Beta form of the game had many differences from the final completed game. Many huds were changed, as well as camera angles.

In the Beta version, trucks were required to pre-stage before the race begins. In the full version, the trucks are pre-staged without the player's input.
Old-School versions of trucks had the old-fashioned bodies placed on modern chassis.
Dodge bodies had a slightly different model.

Several trucks were also cut from the game, all of which were custom names.
