The days of just accelerator, brake, and steering wheel are over! Set in a 90’s retro-future setting, the race takes place on various winding roads under neon-pink dusk and twilight skies. Use the two sticks to exquisitely control your drift, and enjoy the thrill and exhilaration of running through sharp corners while squeaking the wheels, as well as competing against tough opponents!
There are many different types of companion cars. Each one has different characteristics and has a strong individuality, so tame and ride them all!
Inertial Drift’s twin-stick drift allows even first-time racing game players to intuitively control drifting. On the other hand, players who play various racing games may need to forget about traditional drifting controls first. However, after that, I’m sure you’ll have a pleasant experience like never before, where you can control the car as you wish.
More accurate, more beautiful – Drift just the way you want with unique twin stick control! The left stick controls the steering wheel, and the right stick allows direct control of the drift angle. Even new players can run with intuitive controls, and the difficulty level is challenging even for experienced players.
