Reception
Nadeo have stated they intend to make ShootMania stand out from other FPS games through design features such as using a rocket launcher-style weapon as the game's primary weapon. Florent Castelnérac (the game's project leader) has stated there will be relatively few different weapons, the idea being to minimize game time spent not in gameplay. The game still uses the map editor introduced in TrackMania. Character editing is restricted, with only a shield on the player's back customizable. The game was set to be released on 23 January 2013, but was delayed to 10 April 2013 with an open beta started on 12 February. In 2019 there were rumors of various vehicles being developed for a new installment in the TrackMania franchise, but it is unclear whether they were for TrackMania, ShootMania Storm, or another TrackMania spin-off. Rumored vehicles included sports cars, SUVs, power boats, helicopters, airplanes, and trains. There has been no official news as of 2025.
ShootMania Storm received "generally favourable reviews" according to the review aggregation website Metacritic.
