Its
focus on drifting mechanics
instead of pure racing makes Drift Hunters a refreshing car-themed game for their devices. However, it’s
not visually comparable
to games like
Asphalt 5
or
Need for Speed Most Wanted
, it’s still a decent game.
Experience driving different cars
The main challenge for Drift Hunters is that it offers a good balance between speed and control. It focuses
less on racing and more on drifting
. The game even offers a number of
game modes
to let you enjoy. There are wide spaces for you to practice
burnout runs
or narrow, curving roads for your
perfect timing
. As you land drifting tricks, you earn points for unlocking additional content.
It uses
simpler graphics
—often seen as a turnoff for car enthusiasts— but still the developers managed to keep the game engaging and interesting. It has
25 impressive drift cars
for you to unlock and choose from. There are
10 different tracks available
. Additionally, it has impressive drift physics players will definitely enjoy. You can even leave behind
skid marks
as you drift.
Also, for immersion, it completes the experience on your mobile device with a
full heads-up display
. There’s a gear indicator, an accelerometer, and even large
buttons for brake and acceleration
. You can even opt to switch between varying camera angles. Still, the game isn’t free from bugs and glitches. There are
minor display problems
, although it doesn’t really affect the gameplay experience.
A rare drifting game
As a
racing sim focused on drifting
, Drift Hunters does a good job of catering to both old and new fans of drift culture. What it
lacks in the level of detail
, it makes up for in its commitment to the drifting mechanics. The stages vary to accommodate different skill levels and drifting preferences. There are also different cars to choose from for a varied gameplay experience.
