    Gensou Skydrift
    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    Gensou Skydrift

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
    I give Gensou Skydrift

    Gensou: Skydrift is an awful game. There are 101 far more capable kart racers out there offering better value for money and far more fun.

    GENSOU Skydrift may be essential if you’re a Touhou Project fan who always wondered, “Hey, how would those girls work as racing karts?”, but for everyone else, there are plenty of other much better racers out there.

    Gensou SkyDrift is easily one of the more unique kart racers I’ve played, if a little rough around the edges. Unbalanced spells, aggressive rubber-banding, and a relative lack of game modes are frequent sources of frustration, but it’s also so full of clever ideas and the inherent charm of the Touhou property that it’s hard to get too mad at it. And hey, if it’s a choice between a polished game and an interesting one, I’ll choose the latter every time.
