Zone Raiders is a fast-paced, real time driving combat game that takes place in a futuristic, 3D graphics environment. In the game, the player is an independent Raider who must enter a zone and retrieve, destroy, or activate various items, and then escape successfully. In order to get at these items the player must battle enemy vehicles which, like the player's vehicle, resemble ancient automobiles from the mid to late 20th century, enhanced with hover plates and heavy artillery.
