KartRider: Drift is a kart racing game with a focus on customising your racer as well as intense competitive drifting. There will be Speed Mode, Time Trial Mode, and Item Mode. Speed Mode is a highly competitive mode within the game that prepares players for the art and skill of drifting. Item Mode is perfect for new players looking to familiarize themselves with the controls and how the game works. While Time Attack Mode will help players improve their drifting techniques as they try to beat their own best time.

While KartRider: Drift’s core mechanics might aggravate the casual players it’s trying to reach, its customization options are some of the most appealing I’ve seen in any kart racer. Players can choose from a range of skins, emotes, kart types, and wheels to fully deck out their characters. Be it the aggressively adorable Bunny Buggy or skins that turn characters into little baseball and football players, it’s tough not to fall in love with the clean, cutesy charm on display here. In addition, our site 5mmo.com has a large quantity of safe KartRider Drift Coins For Sale.
         
One potential worry is that since the game will be completely free-to-play, it’ll follow the route of relying on premium skins and emotes to generate revenue. There was no store or lootbox-esque system implemented in the beta build, but it’s clear from the “Epic” and “Rare” tags on items that premium customization will surely be a major focus. Considering players gain experience and level up the more races they compete in, there’s hope that at least some items might be unlockables to encourage higher attachment rates.

As far as presentation goes, KartRider pushes a clean cartoon-ish look that makes for a great demo of Unreal Engine 4's capabilities. Colors are bright, and while the racers sport the familiar chibi-style look, the environments are more impressive because of details like smoothly animated bystanders in the bleachers and ice and snow falling on some tracks. The particle effects from boosts and weapons look good, and the game's constant lock at 60fps is appreciated, especially since it never dips below that.
