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.
Pro Focused on Demolition Derby
Often an overlooked genre similar games have not been released since earlier Flatout titles( of which the devs are the same as this title), so this thing really stands out from the crowd.
Pro Excellent car damage
Soft-body car damage physics system with fully deformable car damage, meaning that the cars will react to damage in a very tangible, convincing way.
Cons
Con Small selection of maps
The gameplay can get somewhat repetitive due to a limited selection of maps.
Con Still in Early Access
Bugs can be found and not everything is finished. Game is in playable state though.
