Kat is a cyclist chosen by ancient cycling spirits and tasked with recovering the stolen parts of a legendary bicycle. Her journey leads toward performing the Great Shift ritual to save Wheel World.
Ride freely through a semi-open world, explore its districts, find hidden collectibles, and take on rival cyclists. Races include optional objectives, while jumps and shortcuts offer ways to navigate courses.
Collect and swap bike parts to change your ride’s stats and suit different races and terrain. Winning races and completing challenges earns reputation, opening access to further rivals and parts.
Players often enjoy the relaxed freedom of riding around and exploring, along with the stylized scenery and soundtrack. Reviews also praise swapping bike parts, the races, and the humor and references to cycling culture. Some players find the racing too easy or repetitive, while others report frustrating collisions and a less enjoyable later section.
Welcome to Wheel World, where the fate of the universe rests on your handlebars.
You are Kat, a young cyclist with one mission: save Wheel World from total collapse. Explore a stunning open world filled with impressive vistas, hidden secrets, and races that will test your skills. Customize your bike with an endless array of parts, from sleek speedsters to off-road beasts—there's no limit to how you can ride.
Wheel World is packed with things to do:
Race and Dominate: Take on elite cycling teams and quirky rivals in high-stakes races where every second counts.
Upgrade Your Ride: Scour the world for rare parts to build the ultimate bike, perfectly tailored to your style.
Carry Out Your Destiny: Recover your stolen Legendary parts to ultimately perform The Great Shift ritual and save the world.
All of this is backed by an original soundtrack from Italians Do It Better, pumping energy into every race and moments of breathtaking semi-open world exploration.
It's time to pedal your way to glory, save the spirits of Wheel World, and keep the universe on track. Hop on, ride fast, and don't look back.
