I haven’t playedBloodborneand so references to its world or characters mean little to me. Kart racers, meanwhile? There I’m in my element due to a lifetime of Mario Kart, Diddy Kong Racing andSonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed. It’s those games that make me interested inNightmare Kart, a PSX-aesthetic racing game which was formerly known asBloodborne Kart, and which is out now.

Here’s the launch trailer:

The free game includes 21 racers, 13 karts, 15 tracks and split screen multiplayer. More unusually, it also has a full campaign mode “with boss fights”.

Nightmare Kart is from the makers ofBloodborne PSX, asimilarly styled demakethat maintains the third-person action of its inspiration. Its kart racing spin-off began life asan April Fool’s joke during development. Sort of. ‘Bloodborne Kart’ is also a long-running joke within the Bloodborne community more generally.
