Inertial Drift: Sunset Prologue

A prologue for the full [url=store.steampowered.com/app/1184480/Inertial_Drift/]Inertial Drift[/url] game, in which you get to try out a few runs to try out the drifting controls and check if you like this kind of gameplay. This game's car controls are very different from most arcade racing games, so it's nice to test and try them out in this version. It's very limited, but again, it's a free prologue, and it's enough to make you figure if you want more of this in the full game.

very interesting mechanics

This 'prologue' is basically a free demo for the full game, and since it's a free and relatively small game I think anyone intrested just need install and try it out for yourself whether you like it or not. Unfortunately it's not for me. I think the title 'Inertial Drift', along with the eurobeat in the first trailer on the store page (twilight rivals pack, which is not even here in the prologue) misled me into thinking this would be much more like 'Initial D' than it is. Even if it's not Initial D, I was really hoping it would be something akin to 'Wangan Midnight Maximum Tune', but that's not it either. From all I've seen in this 'prologue', there is no high octane racing, only a chill and relaxing drive trying to beat a time record. If you are into that, than this game is for you. For anyone hoping for some arcade "racing", look another way.

Love the concept of the game and the level of polish it's excellently done. It's a small download too! I think it might be However I think for me the game fails in two big areas. 1. I find the two stick drifting mechanic sort of a hack to make drifting easier which detracts from the whole thing about drifting which is feeling awesome about pulling off epic drifts.. 2. I would like to see slower drift courses... perhaps they exist but I didn't play long enough to find out. I should say that I am a big racing game fan and I have a rig with fancy pedals n all.. obviously this is a couch arcade racer, I love them too. I have been playing a lot of sonic racing recently. Good for casual gamers on a steam deck though.

7/10 (vibe.)

Really cool racing game! I love the drifting mechanic, it's very original (it even has been copied by the last screamer game). Graphics are also great, and I love the vibes. My only issue will be the optimization. The game runs very well for like 5-10 minutes, then it starts to stutter. It looks like a memory saturation issue.
