The gameplay is generally praised for its fluidity and depth, drawing strong comparisons to the F-Zero series with its tight driving mechanics and innovative drift-boost system. However, players express a desire for more content, such as additional modes, ships, and tracks, as well as improvements to combat mechanics and production value. While the game offers a fun and fast-paced experience, some users feel that it lacks certain advanced features found in its inspirations, and the learning curve can be steep for newcomers.
- “The gameplay maintains a 'simple yet deep' approach where you don't need to swing out various parts of your ship to make a turn, but mastering the mechanics it does have (drifting and boost management for the most part) will help you significantly.”
- “The driving mechanics here are absolutely incredible!”
- “It's really bare in regards to official content right now, but the core gameplay is fantastic and I can't wait to see where the developers will take this game.”
- “Very slow updates and I'm not a fan of the new drifting boost mechanics.”
- “I'm missing more modes, more ships, tracks, mechanics, a customization editor for your ship, and maybe even visual effects (like how your boost looks) or online multiplayer.”
