Top Hat Studios has teamed up with Regular Studio to publish MOTORSLICE, a gritty, stylish action-adventure game aiming to hit Steam sometime between late 2025 and early 2026. It’s a mix of fast-paced parkour, tough-as-nails combat, and a slice-of-life story set in a brutalist megastructure, and yeah, it looks as cool as it sounds.
MOTORSLICE showcase trailer
At its core, MOTORSLICE feels like a love letter to Prince of Persia, but with its distinct energy. Instead of running along walls and flipping over spikes, you’re diving headfirst into a world packed with rusted steel, forgotten machines, and vibes so thick you can practically feel the dust in the air. It’s parkour meets existential dread, and we’re here for it.
You play as “P,” just a girl on a job. The task sounds simple: get in, wipe out the machines, get out. But as always, things never go as planned. What starts as a regular run turns sideways when she arrives at an abandoned megastructure and finds something far more terrifying—a machine unlike any other. Suddenly, it’s not just about finishing the job. It’s about survival, discovery, and maybe something a little more human.
Let’s talk gameplay
This isn’t your usual button-mashing brawler. MOTORSLICE demands precision. You’ll be wall-running, leaping across giant gaps, and sliding under hazards in a rhythm that’s as much about flow as it is about reflex. And when it’s time to fight, the game gets brutal. You die fast, but so do your enemies. Every strike counts, and every mistake stings.
Boss fights? Oh yeah. Picture towering heavy machines you have to actually climb to defeat—Shadow of the Colossus style. Add in physics-based puzzles, modern low-poly pixel art, and a haunting, minimalist soundtrack, and you’ve got something that sits comfortably between beauty and chaos.
But what makes MOTORSLICE stand out is its tone. It’s quiet, reflective, and surprisingly grounded for a game full of killer mechs. There’s a story here not about saving the world, but about doing a job, dealing with the unexpected, and figuring out what to do when things don’t go to plan. It’s slice-of-life in the grittiest, most mechanical sense.
MOTORSLICE doesn’t have a firm release date just yet, but it’s expected to launch on PC via Steam between late 2025 and early 2026. If you’re into games that blend movement, mood, and meaning, this one should be on your radar.
