Vehicular combat games normally follow a simple play pattern the player must defeat increasing numbers of not very skilled enemies before facing off against a final, super-powerful, boss character. Games may include racing themes, but they are generally secondary to the action. Players may also unlock hidden vehicles by completing certain in-game tasks.

The genre normally features a variety of different vehicles available for play, each with its own strengths, weaknesses, and special attack abilities. Vehicular combat games (also known as just vehicular combat or car combat) are a sub-genre of vehicle simulation video games where the primary objectives of gameplay include vehicles armed with weapons attempting to destroy vehicles controlled by the CPU or by opposing players.
