humor6 positive mentions
gameplay4 negative mentions
  • Extensive car customization options allow players to tune engines, suspensions, nitrous, body kits, and cosmetic details, providing a satisfying creative outlet.
  • Offers a large number of missions and challenges, giving a respectable amount of content and a grind-based progression system for achievement hunters.
  • Very low system requirements make the game accessible to players with older or less powerful hardware.
  • Poor driving physics with awkward, inconsistent handling and drifting mechanics that hinder enjoyable gameplay and make cars difficult to control.
  • Technical issues include dated, low-quality graphics with repetitive and sparse maps, buggy AI that flips or gets stuck, and problematic traffic behavior.
  • Lacks controller support, has no functional settings menu, and suffers from significant polish problems such as broken rewards, missing features like nitrous button, and no reset option when cars flip.

  • story

    12 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    25% positive mentions, 50% neutral mentions, 25% negative mentions

    The game's story is generally seen as minimal or lacking depth, primarily serving as a backdrop for its extensive open-world racing and mission content. While some players find the narrative surprisingly engaging and motivating, others feel it is overshadowed by repetitive missions, shallow design, and control issues. Overall, the story adds some value but is not a standout feature of the game.

    • “The game offers an open city environment filled with over two hundred missions, giving players freedom to explore and take on challenges at their own pace.”
    • “That being said, I gotta say the story has me completely hooked!”
    • “Once you get past the controls, the story makes it totally worth it.”
    • “The lack of polish, inconsistent physics, and shallow mission design prevent justifying the game fully.”
    • “The game gets a 7/10 from me; it's nothing more than racing and it has no story whatsoever, but can be a time-killer if you only enjoy racing and customizing cars.”
    • “The sheer number of missions and challenges also gives the game a respectable amount of content for its price point, even if many of these tasks feel repetitive.”

  • gameplay

    11 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    18% positive mentions, 46% neutral mentions, 36% negative mentions

    The gameplay aims for a nostalgic, speed-focused racing experience inspired by classics like Need for Speed: Underground but suffers from poor execution, including imprecise controls, awkward drifting, and inconsistent mechanics. Players find the handling overly slippery and frustrating, with narrow streets and unrealistic physics detracting from the fun. Overall, the gameplay feels monotonous, unrefined, and lacks the polish needed for an engaging racing experience.

    • “It clearly draws inspiration from classics like Need for Speed: Underground and Tokyo Xtreme Racer, promising an old-school style of gameplay centered on speed, risk, and mechanical experimentation.”
    • “Even as an indie experiment, the game could have benefited from tighter handling mechanics and more refined visual feedback to give players a stronger sense of speed and control.”
    • “Unfortunately, while the concept carries plenty of potential, the execution leaves much to be desired, resulting in an uneven experience that struggles to balance its ideas with technical and mechanical shortcomings.”
    • “Acceleration feels weightless, braking lacks precision, and the drifting mechanics—ostensibly a major feature—come across as awkward and inconsistent.”
    • “The gameplay is very bad and not fun; I wish the car would not slide so much. It would be better if we could drift ourselves in turns.”

  • graphics

    9 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    33% positive mentions, 34% neutral mentions, 33% negative mentions

    Graphics in the game are generally considered outdated and lacking in immersion, with many users criticizing the low visual quality and lack of customization options. While car customization is praised, the overall graphical presentation is seen as behind current standards, with some noting the game runs smoothly but still feels visually subpar compared to similar titles.

    • “Outstanding graphics for this era and car customization is amazing too!”
    • “The graphics, though functional, are dated and lack the depth or atmosphere to fully immerse the player in the supposed Japanese setting.”
    • “The game offers no graphic or other settings, the settings menu doesn't work (devs abandon the game before introducing it) but it runs smooth without fps drops even though the engine feels a bit laggy at times (Xeon 1231v3 and a GTX 970).”
    • “The car controls are awkward, the physics are weird, and the graphics and sound are very low level.”
    • “Graphics are Unity standard (garbage/trash).”
    • “3) Graphics - only 15 years behind.”

  • music

    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    38% positive mentions, 12% neutral mentions, 50% negative mentions

    The music in the game is limited, primarily featuring a few basic beat songs mostly in menus rather than during races, which some players find repetitive or lacking. While some enjoy the chill lobby tracks as a background for customization, others criticize the absence of in-race music and low sound quality. Overall, the soundtrack is seen as a minor aspect that doesn’t elevate the gameplay experience.

    • “I relaxed for 5 minutes listening to this music, long enough to realize that I would be okay.”
    • “I like the lobby songs; there are three basic beat songs.”
    • “The game gets a 7/10 from me. It's nothing more than racing and it has no story whatsoever, but can be a time-killer if you really enjoy only doing races and listening to some dope music meanwhile you're customizing your dream JDM car.”
    • “No amount of your own phonk soundtracks or shows you watch - while you are bored out of your mind playing this game - will save this.”
    • “2) Sound - no music (or is it separately included?), and the sounds of our car were recorded with lawnmowers.”
    • “- Music does not play in races, only in menus (might be for the best). Can't overplay your limited track list, right?”
    • “Guys, do not take this crap, get a torrent (faces are not sold unfortunately) NFSU/NFSU2/NFSMW/BE/etc. if you want a quality analogue of this game with graphics, music, tuning, etc.”

  • humor

    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The game's humor is largely unintentional but highly appreciated, with players enjoying amusing physics glitches and quirky mechanics that lead to unexpected, funny moments. Despite some bugs, the humor adds to the overall fun and charm of the experience.

    • “There are bugs (the traffic system can be hilarious sometimes with cars falling from the sky or flying over your head), but I picked it up for 65 cents - I definitely got 65 cents worth of fun out of it, and if they added controller support, I'd get at least a few dollars more!”
    • “Good game, funny af, physics need some work but f***ing good, the game got released 1 week ago or something like that, if you search fun, with a bit of difficulty buy it!”
    • “It's unintentionally funny.”

  • optimization

    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    50% positive mentions, -25% neutral mentions, 75% negative mentions

    The game offers extensive customization options for vehicle optimization, allowing players to enhance both performance and appearance. However, performance is inconsistent, with frame rates fluctuating between 3 to 110 FPS and frequent freezes reported. Additionally, players can quickly acquire top-tier parts once they have sufficient funds.

    • “Players can fine-tune nearly every aspect of their vehicles, from performance tweaks to aesthetic flair, creating a sense of ownership and creativity.”
    • “Also on those performance upgrades, you can instantly just buy the best parts when you have enough cash.”
    • “Performance and optimization are problematic, with frame rates fluctuating between 3 and 110 FPS and frequent freezes.”
    • “Performance and optimization are problematic, with frame rates fluctuating between 3 and 110 FPS and frequent freezes.”
    • “Although you can upgrade performance instantly by buying the best parts when you have enough cash, this reduces the challenge and satisfaction.”

  • monetization

    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    The monetization is widely criticized as a low-effort cash grab, featuring asset-flipped content and unethical practices such as using fake reviews to boost visibility. The game appears rushed to market with minimal original effort, reflecting negatively on its value and integrity.

    • “This is just a basic Unity mobile app for driving with asset-flipped cars on it, rushed onto Steam as a minimum viable product cash grab.”
    • “Conglomerate 5/jdm4ik have shown a repeat pattern of unethically dumping other people's work onto Steam as a cheap, nasty cash grab, through this account or through closely linked alternate accounts.”
    • “They're all written in either Russian, broken English, or ChatGPT AI slop, appear at almost exactly the same time shortly after the game launched on Steam, all have a direct Steam purchase of the game, and the accounts are consistently used to write fake reviews for asset flips and other cash grabs/scams.”

  • atmosphere

    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    50% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 50% negative mentions

    The atmosphere receives mixed feedback, with some users appreciating the night street racing vibe, while others find the graphics dated and lacking the depth needed to fully immerse players in the Japanese setting.

    • “Night street racing atmosphere!”
    • “The graphics, though functional, are dated and lack the depth or atmosphere to fully immerse the player in the supposed Japanese setting.”

  • stability

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    The game’s stability is inconsistent, with frame rates fluctuating widely between 3 and 110 fps, and frequent freezes disrupting the experience. Optimization appears lacking, resulting in unstable performance.

    • “Performance and optimization are poor; frame rates fluctuate wildly between 3 and 110 FPS, and freezes occur regularly.”
