The gameplay introduces innovative mechanics that enhance the experience beyond a simple recreation of previous titles, though some levels may present challenges that feel overly demanding for players not accustomed to the drift mechanic. While the game is noticeably faster than its predecessors, this speed can lead to issues, making the gameplay less thrilling than anticipated. Overall, the combination of new elements, solid music, and a cohesive story contributes positively to the gameplay experience.
“Instead of being a one-to-one recreation of those games and their mechanics, it adds neat elements on top.”
“I'm happy with what I have seen thus far; the dev added a lot of neat mechanics.”
“Music is solid, and the story works well with the rest of the aesthetic and gameplay.”
“The following level ramps it up a bit and has a few tough spots that, in my opinion, demand a bit too much from players who were not really forced or incentivized to engage with the drift mechanic up until that point.”
“It is, however, noticeably faster than Star Fox, which creates some issues with the gameplay.”
“It’s not as exciting as it sounds because it’s just a fancy mechanic to let you make faster turns.”
