    Technically competent, and surprisingly well done, the simple lack of depth prevents this from doing any better. It can actually be completed in a few hours at max. Having a friend or playing online can extend the fun, yet the lack of content becomes obvious fairly quickly. The developer has promised more updates, which will hopefully come through, as the game has a good base to work with.

    A nice firt attempt.
    Gensou skydrift has potential as a series, right now it feels like a what could be teaser.. featured is a 1 and a half hour long campaign of witches vs farriers, and a free roam as well as verses mode that can be played online or offline.. featured here are 18 characters and 14 tracks.. this is a very challenging yet addictive racer… the team behind this have worked on Mario kart games, and I definitely felt a bit of Nintendo magic here… skydrift wont blow you away with itsvisuals, but its track design still manages to be done well enough to be memorable.. here you choose a teamof two charcters,all with unique stats and race up to5 other teams… going through hoops, drifting around corners to fill up your magic meter, you can then cast a random spell to help you get ahead in the race.. and this is where gensou skydrift comes up short … its character building.. techincally stats are different, but no two characters felt different playing with for me.. not only that, the spellsbeing the same no matter who I am didnthelp either… gensou skydrift is such a baree bones game that I feel like this is an area it could have shined in with its spell crafting , each character having a unique set of spells, something to make matchmaking actually matter, do I want this more defensive or a more offensive withcor fairy? Rather than do I want the better magic or speed cause I feel like these stats don’t really matter… other than what id like for the future, skydrift is a really good racing game, one that you wont just hop in and be good at=, you have to master the drifting and timing your spells correctly, the track design is great and memorable, and I love the music here…
    Gensou Skydrift wont blow you away or probably keep you hooked for more than a couple of hours, but those couple of hours will feel like a nostalgic drift and for the right price feel is a good experimental kind of racing game with potential as a series for you to give a chance to

From what I can see, the only form of tutorial is in the beginning of the (unfortunately lackluster) single player campaign, and even then it only shows controls and doesn't explain items and systems. "Learn by doing" is a perfectly valid way of becoming acquainted with a game, but players coming expecting Mario Kart with Touhou characters will come confused. Some visuals are pretty conflicting with each other, particularly on the Hakugyokurou stage. That being said, the visuals are particularly primitive, but are simply gorgeous at times, and will appeal to Touhou fans (such as myself) seeing depictions of classic series locations in 3D.… Full Review »
