## Plot

The protagonist survived a catastrophe caused by the Large Hadron Collider, which turned everyone in the city into bloodthirsty zombies. He returns to the abandoned city, looking for a way to change the zombies.

## Gameplay

In Armageddon Riders, the player races a vehicle against a number of other computer controlled competitors in various settings, including city, harbour and Large Hadron Collider areas.

## Development and release

Armageddon Riders was originally released on the PC on Steam, under the alternative title of Clutch, in 2009, but was eventually ported to the PlayStation 3 in 2011.[2] The game was not available in Australia until after it was available in the rest of the world, while it awaited a classification from the Australian Classification Board.[2]
