The game offers a fun and nostalgic arcade racing experience, reminiscent of classic titles like Sega Rally.
Handling is enjoyable and provides a good balance of challenge, making it easy to learn but hard to master.
There is a substantial amount of content, including various cars and race modes, which keeps the gameplay engaging.

Progression can be painfully slow, with players often stuck using low-tier cars for extended periods.
Races are often too short, leading to a feeling of repetitiveness and not enough time to fully enjoy the driving experience.
Collision physics are poorly implemented, causing frustrating moments where minor contact can halt progress completely.

The graphics of the game have received mixed reviews, with some players appreciating the retro aesthetic while others criticize it as lacking depth and feeling soulless, akin to low-budget titles from the past. While certain users noted that the graphics can be crisp and enjoyable, especially on the Windows version with adjustable settings, many felt that the overall visual presentation falls short of delivering a genuine nostalgic experience. Additionally, some players mentioned issues with resolution and performance on different platforms, further detracting from the graphical experience.
- “The graphics are crisp with a hint of retro racing theme.”
- “The graphics are great.”
- “The graphics and physics of the cars are at a high level, and the variety of tracks and game modes will not let you get bored.”
- “The game forces the Linux version to be 480p and performs a goatse to stretch on my 21:9 monitor with no graphics settings you can change...”
- “I understand it wants to be one of those 'retro' racers; however, this just feels like a soulless game that you'd see from a budget brand in 2010 with no real graphical style.”
- “Not really a fan of the overall aesthetics of the game either because there's a very fine line between simply applying low quality visuals to a game and passing it off as retro, and making something that genuinely gives the impression you've been whisked back into the 1990s.”

The gameplay is visually and mechanically appealing with fun elements like great graphics, music, and random weather effects, offering a variety of races and numerous unlockables. However, some players find the driving mechanics to be shallow despite the overall enjoyment and competitive nature of the events.
- “Love the graphics and music, gameplay is fun, loads to do.”
- “No feedback on my gamepad so far during gameplay.”
- “It provides many hours of gameplay and various types of races.”
- “Great random weather effects, lots to unlock, nostalgic gameplay, quick yet competitive events.”
grinding
5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
100%
Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be a significant drawback, as progression is hindered by a limited availability of cars for specific events, leading to repetitive grinding for new vehicles. While the game is enjoyable as an arcade racer, the early stages can feel tedious as players work through easy challenges to unlock preferred cars, diminishing the initial fun.
- “Decent roster of cars and track count stunted by grindy progression.”
- “Some cars you buy will not be available in the class they're meant for, so you end up grinding for a vehicle only to find out it can only be used in 3 events out of 12. This leaves you needing a new car but without the money or available events to get it.”
- “Fun arcade racer, but it is grindy, especially early on.”

The music in the game features an energetic arcade soundtrack that complements the overall vibe, enhancing the gameplay experience. Players appreciate the quality of the soundtracks, often keeping the music on during play, which adds to the enjoyment of the graphics and gameplay.
- “Energetic arcade soundtrack that matches the vibe.”
- “Sole rally game where I keep the music on.”
- “The soundtracks are quite nice as well.”
- “The music is an energetic arcade soundtrack that matches the vibe.”
- “This is the sole rally game where I keep the music on.”
replayability
3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
100%
Users express frustration with the game's replayability, viewing it as a cheap tactic due to repetitive events that require completing the same stages multiple times with different car classes. This approach detracts from the overall experience and suggests a need for more varied content to enhance replay value.
- “Personally, this looks like a cheap tactic to increase 'replayability' and is a very bad look. I would reconsider a restructure for the rally events, to be honest. Why would I do the same event three times with three different car classes if the stages are the same every time?”
- “The lack of variety in events makes replaying them feel tedious rather than enjoyable. It's hard to stay engaged when you're just repeating the same challenges over and over.”
- “I found the replayability to be quite lacking. Once you've completed the main events, there isn't much incentive to go back and play them again.”
optimization
2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
100%
The game's optimization is praised for its stable performance, particularly during fast drifting, though players express a desire for additional content, such as engine and performance modifications, as well as improved racing modes.
- “Stable performance suits fast drifting.”
- “I would love to see new content added over time, especially engine and performance mods, as well as proper race and versus modes.”
