$12.99Storm Chasers Outrun the funnel, get the shot
Read the sky, pick your vantage point and hold your nerve as the storm closes in, alone or with friends.
Is Storm Chasers worth it?
Storm Chasers is worth it if…
- you want a storm chasing game where reading the radar matters as much as your driving
- you like competing with friends over who gets the better shot
- you enjoy physics-driven chaos and never know quite what a storm will do
- you have room for short, frantic sessions where one more chase is always tempting

Forecast, intercept, photograph
The loop starts before the tornado does. You study weather data in a car fitted with a radar, work out where the storm is heading and pick your vantage point. Then you drive: across a big, detailed map built on Tornado Alley landscapes, through changing weather and shifting light, getting as close as you dare. Too far and the shot is worthless. Too close and the powerful winds and flying debris end your run. Drop a POD with a flat base on the ground to measure wind speed and direction, line up the frame and take the picture. A photo evaluation algorithm judges your work on distance, focus and visible debris, so a blurry shot of a monster twister scores worse than a clean one.
Storms that break things
The tornadoes here run on physics, and the world around them pays for it. Strong winds rip props loose and send them tumbling, buildings take damage as the funnel passes over, and what survives is never quite what you expected. That unpredictability is the point: the same storm never plays out the same way twice, so every chase is a fresh gamble between the perfect angle and a car full of hail. The weather shifts, day turns to night, and the atmosphere of a Great Plains sky does a lot of the work. When one goes past your windshield, you will understand why.
Chasing together, racing each other
This is a game built around other people. Jump into an online lobby and chase in 1 vs 1, 2 vs 2 or 4 vs 4, all of you reading the same sky and racing to the best spot before anyone else sets up. Different modes change the goal: Photography is about the shot, Outbreak and Tornado Control give you other jobs to fight over. Sessions are short and social, easy to join with friends or strangers, and the chaos of several cars converging on one funnel makes for great stories afterwards. If you would rather learn alone first, singleplayer missions teach you the basics before you compete.
Can you play it solo?
Can you play it solo?
Yes. There are singleplayer missions that teach you the basics, and you can free roam the map on your own, chasing and photographing storms without anyone else around. The competitive modes are where the game is most alive, but learning the radar and the photo system solo is a solid way to start.
How does the photo scoring work?
An evaluation algorithm judges each shot on concrete things: your distance from the tornado, whether the image is in focus and how much visible debris is in frame. Getting closer generally means a better photo, but also a better chance the wind or a flying prop ends your chase early. Finding that balance is the core skill.
What do the PODs do?
PODS are instruments with a flat base that you place on the ground to measure wind velocity and direction at surface level. Deploying one in the right spot, close to the tornado's path without being in it, is part of the job, and it pairs naturally with the radar in your car for reading the storm.
