These races all tend to revolve around at “least” one girl. Each chapter has a series of races, where success fills up a bar at the top of the screen, and at the end you have a Boss Race. The controls are pretty simple, but can feel downright unfair there are lined spots in the road where the drifts take place, and the better you do on it (from Miss, Bad, Good, Great, Crazy) gives you Nitro, which you can use to boost through (Thanks, Starfox). In practice the limitations on resources mean you’ll likely have to settle for one car that’s hopefully balanced enough to handle whatever gets thrown at you. I believe the ultimate goal is building a car capable of handling drift heavy tracks, and one made to zoom down straightways. All this adds to your maximum straightway speed, straightway acceleration, maximum drift speed, and drift acceleration stats. ![]() Parts, Cars, Mastery Levels, Car Ratings (1-6 stars), there are a lot of things to keep track of, lots of numbers, lots of grinding cars and parts up to upgrade, repeatedly doing the same races over and over to get new cars and parts to use as fodder. That said, car upgrades aren’t as brainless as you may initially believe. The consistent AI with superior wheels will trump your inferior ride every time. No matter how finely tuned you are on your drifts, your skill only factors in to reduce your typical race time by a second maximum. Most of the early chapters, you are on par or above the opponents, and that makes it easy to get into, but around Chapter 6 and 7 the difficulty spikes incredibly. No matter how much I enjoyed the ridiculous dating, and fast-paced action sequences, the difficulty in the story mode ramps up very steadily, to the point where proceeding is almost impossible without spending real money on a car, or spending even longer farming in-game currencies to try and do the same. It in a way reminds me of Yu-Gi-Oh, the Anime more than the card game, where peoples’ problems are solved by a ‘Children’s Card Game.’ Though, this game will try to get you to spend just as much money as you might on a card game, I’m afraid. It solves many problems, and commands an incredible female following. In this particular town, racing and drifting seems to not be against the law at all. Which ironically adds a lot to the replayability of the game, as you’ll be frustrated into playing until you can get it right! The dialogue is pretty entertaining and the localization team offers up some pretty fantastic scenes between your character and their opponents (“My car was kid-tested, mother-approved!” had me laughing way harder than I should have been). Factor in ever changing track types, turn angles, and the speed of your car, and addition boosts you get from the girl you’re riding with, and a simplistic mechanic turns into a mechanical nightmare to get right. The timing takes a long while to get used to, far more so than nearly any other timing or rhythm based game I’ve played. Each girl likes a particular thing or doesn’t and each girl provides benefits to your racing depending on her affection level. If not at the release of this article, very soon, expect a Bottom Tier video of my/Colton’s racing shenanigans! The game is a little challenging to get used to (The drifting portion, at least), and the dating is really quite simple. ![]() They make it a point to let you know that these girls do not get jealous (at least initially), and so you can date as many of them at once as you’d care to this is definitely a fantasy, and not to be taken seriously. The South African vegan, a British military agent (Redhead, so as to not be Cammy from Street Fighter), a shy martial-arts girl, a ditzy blonde seeking direction in life, and many more. It’s ridiculous, the women that your character dates meet virtually every trope or stereotype I could think of. I have been stuck on what I could possibly say about this, but I have to say, for the most part, it’s really quite fun. It’s free to play, and combines drifting (taking a turn where the wheels are opposite of the direction your car is facing) with a Dating Game (. Recently, NHN released a standout mobile game to the market, Drift Girls.
