Announced last year, Exo Rally Championship does what the name suggests: takes the rugged, weather-battered terrain of Exo One's interplanetary journey and replaces the ponderous plot and gravitational rise-and-fall spaceship movement with a six-wheel, space buggy rally competition.
Or put another way, if Exo One was Christopher Nolan's Tiny Wings, then this is Colin McRae's Interstellar. Now there's a demo, and it's substantial with a tutorial, a 10 stage rally, and three "ever-changing Daily Stages with online Steam leaderboards." This is no rally game reskin, but takes full advantage of the setting.
The landscapes you're speeding across are vast and unforgiving, crater-marked, littered with boulders, and battered by rain, lightning and meteors.
It's only possible to make your way across them because your six-wheel-drive rover can catch considerable airtime on the low-gravity planets.
Land too hard and you'll lose a wheel or other valuable part of your machine, however. That's where air jets come in, which let you shunt your buggy around in mid-air to correct your orientation or soften your touchdown.
