Vehicle transformations offer gameplay variety

Vehicles change shape at various points in the race with each variant of the vehicle behaving slightly differently offering more variety in each race. See More

Visuals can sometimes obstruct view

The game has bright levels with colorful visual effects that can sometimes get in the way of actually driving. See More

Levels change as laps progress

As each lap is run the levels in game will transition and change, which makes learning and adapting to the tracks something each player needs to consider. See More

Top Pro

Great selection of tracks

There's a ton of different tracks to race on, each with their own unique hazards and tricks to learn. See More

Top Pro

Great damage mechanics

It's possible to thoroughly damage and destroy each vehicle in the game. And the game highly encourages such behaviour with one of the more commonly achieved winning conditions being to destroy the competition. See More

Top Con

In early access

The game is currently in pre-alpha development stage and as such is poorly optimized, buggy and unstable. See More

Top Pro

Offers variety in gameplay with 3 distinct modes

3 gameplay modes are available for the game: Power Race. A mode where power-ups are added to a typical multi-lap race. Survival. A mode where the last place player is removed from the race each time a countdown timer reaches zero. Power-ups are still involved. Speed Race. A mode without combat with rings that give temporary boost when flown through them scattered throughout the map. See More

Top Con

Small selection of maps

The gameplay can get somewhat repetitive due to a limited selection of maps. See More

Top Pro

Excellently executed aerial combat

SkyDrift is a racing combat game with a focus on combat, ala Mario Kart. The combat works quite well with powerups and weapons scattered around each track. No powerups feel to overpowered but definitely add quite an exciting element to each race. See More
