    Star Drift Evolution takes all the good things from many of the racing games of today and combines them into a beautiful minimalistic package. With over 70 differently styled tracks and over 50 cars to choose from, the combinations are almost endless. This game has BOTH local (up to 4 people) and online multiplayer (2-20 people), which is a rare occurrence these days in racing games. ThisStar Drift Evolution takes all the good things from many of the racing games of today and combines them into a beautiful minimalistic package. With over 70 differently styled tracks and over 50 cars to choose from, the combinations are almost endless. This game has BOTH local (up to 4 people) and online multiplayer (2-20 people), which is a rare occurrence these days in racing games. This game can be as hardcore or as hilarious as you want it to be. Want to drive it as an arcade racer and goof around? No problem, they’ve got a top down camera just for that. Want to try to be the best in the world? They’ve got a 3rd person and a hood cam for that too (this is my opinion, not actually based on data from the game). Not to say a record can’t be set using a different camera; each person has a camera preference, and Star Drift Evolution accounts for that. It’s a complete racing experience for casual or competitive gamers. Some games demand a large investment of time to play a match or round; that is not so with this game. Most tracks are under one minute, with the longest track taking just over 3 minutes for an average player to complete. Only have 5 minutes to spare? Star Drift Evolution can be picked up and put down in a heartbeat. Want to grind a couple hours for that top spot on your favorite track? Star Drift Evolution loses none of its charm after a grueling session. There is also a great, albeit small community with a nice discord setup as well. There’s only one thing missing from Star Drift Evolution. You.

    *I have played Star Drift Evolution for approximately 75 hours and have completed the game at the time of this review.

    Really A LOT of tracks and vehicles, each one very peculiar. It's a technical arcade racer, very deep, good in single-player, excellent in multiplayer. Among the very best arcade racing ever imho.

    This is an INSANELY ADDICTING driving/racing game with a clear focus on well executed drifts. There are TONS of great tracks. This game allows for you to find the perfect sweet spot for car control on your drifts. There are consistent game improvements and releases in each new update and much more in the pipeline from the game creator: Catze, working well with his Publicity/Assistant DevThis is an INSANELY ADDICTING driving/racing game with a clear focus on well executed drifts.

There are consistent game improvements and releases in each new update and much more in the pipeline from the game creator: Catze, working well with his Publicity/Assistant Dev Desangre. The developers take advice very seriously from the community, which is highly appreciated to continue making a better experience for everyone. Get your helmet on and hop in the driver seat for a thrill you won't want to miss. You have the ability to adjust
    the camera option of playing "Top Down" to get that retro/mobile vibe or "Third Person" for more of the modern racing game feel. You can customize the many different cars in the game with various livery patterns and color options to choose from. Cars have various strengths and weaknesses which creates a great challenge to find out which one is best suited for the track. I have spent over 140 hours on this game (at the time of writing this) and just can't get enough. The meta of the game is always changing with new patches and discoveries from top players always trying to push the limit of the cars. The magic of this game is you can play it as competitively or casually as you want and still get a satisfying experience. I highly suggest purchasing this game and highly recommend bringing a few friends along to get a feel for the multiplayer. This game needs the player base it deserves! Drift your way to the top, see you there :)!

    Star Drift Evolution is genuinely fun and you will absolutely enjoy drifting in its low poly races.

    Star Drift Evolution is a minimalistic, unexpectedly deep and articulated racer, packed with a rich single player career that offers 75 vehicles and 50 tracks to unlock, but also a fun and frantic multiplayer mode.

    Star Drift Evolution comes out of the early access pits with a perfect set-up, which allows it to compete for the top positions of the genre.
