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.
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.
Cons
Con In early access
The game is currently in pre-alpha development stage and as such is poorly optimized, buggy and unstable.
Con Small selection of maps
The gameplay can get somewhat repetitive due to a limited selection of maps.
