April 2025
This game had a lot of potential but ultimately it's an okay arcade racer. There are a lot of things I like about it but once Sumo Digital got involved the game was ported to their engine and I just can't stand how bad the handling can feel sometimes. Also, a huge downside to this game is that they never added cloud saves (I found this out the hard way). If you are a superfan of arcade racers this game is worth experiencing but otherwise don't bother.

Well, I bought this game imagining that would be a simple game to play for 1 or 2 hours. But it have a very good mechanic and a lot of hard achievements that prolongs the game play. The Expert level is hard and you will not be boring playing against them. And you will need to adapt your manage style dependent on the car that you choose.

Simple and Solid Arcade Racer. Hard to find find something similar. The drifting is great plus the boost mechanic Super fluid and sharp 0ld school style graphics. Saddly no crossplay , so multiplayer is dead we have a discord: https://discord.gg/uhzgNBqb we have to save this game, get online!

It is a fun and simple racing game, easy to pick up and a little difficult to master. The mechanics are exceptionally arcade-y. The game punish you for not drifting because you need to drift to gain boost. And going for 1st place from the start doesn't guarantee win because the slipstream is very powerful. The NPCs love to ram tho, sometimes mess up your racing line and punt you to the wall, very typical of average drivers. The Drift cars are almost irrelevant due to their poor speed and acceleration when racing in Expert mode (unless you master the game REALLY well) so there needs a slight balancing issues. Also I can't seem to play Online mode on Steam Deck; the game exits out when I tried to play it. Overall, a very fun, very simple circuit racing game with very fun mechanics used, and that's purty much it.
