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!

The first minute of the game made me smile the game is ridiculously amazing the music is fun, the environment is beautiful Castle? Big Aquarium? Ancient Temple? the surrounding world are great. especially when you see dolphin jumping above you while you racing when an UFO kidnapping something from a far.. the control is pretty easy, and drifting feels great, and satisfying comparing to another indie racing game, garfield cart and the AI is actually give you a challenge, they actually joining the race, 3 or 4 car will compete you and it will give the difficult to reach 1st position , unlike NFS series where you always in the lead, the AI seems to be letting you win. all game mode is fine, except the police mode, it feels broken, and not fun but the rest of the game? Amazing this game should be on Very positive review, even overwhelmingly positive. because this game is very entertaining by its own way. RECOMMENDED

Sooooo... Well in all honesty the game has a really cool retro feel to its graphics and still looks good for the year 2024 so i like it. At this point of the review i havent seen anything that crazy but i have to say that the drifting seems to much if you are comming from games like need for speed. You need time to get used to it. I recommend strting with KEIKO and the super f-90 (f1 car) it seems to be the most noob-friendlly car you can use. OVERALL this is good game but you really need to try again and again to learn the tracks and how the collisions with the other cars will effect you. Last thing LOOK for the settings and pay attention to the binds some binds might not be optimal for you.(for me boost was by default on "shift" but its better on "ctrl".

This is absolutely the arcade racer I've been looking for for the last decade or so. This game is absolutely awesome, The physics play fast and loose in a true arcade manner that feels like arcade racing games from the 90s. The game uses the same low-poly techniques to establish a feeling of intense speed, while minimizing required GPU power. However, it still uses modern effects. I haven't yet played multiplayer, so I don't know if it has lag issues or not, but the AI is very fun, and aggressive. I suspect people who don't appreciate fast arcade racers, or get frustrated easily won't like the game. I have to admit that I have to be in the right mood to enjoy this game, and I have to be at the top of my game. Those who want a realistic racing game should look elsewhere (if this isn't obvious enough). The same goes for those who simply don't like racing games. However, if you want a classic style arcade racer, this game is for you.
