  just yesterday I tell a friend, Why is the mmo racing genre not being developed? I decided to check on the steam search, and was very surprised to find this game Yes, it is raw, unfinished, this game, Yes, it is raw, unfinished, but there are simply no analogues, I hope it will play more people and it will develop more

  •REVIEW• First german and then english. Scroll down for the english review, if you cant read german :D ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• •German• Initial Drift Online. Ein Spiel, welches so viele Punkte erfüllt, welche ich mir schon lange gewünscht habe. Ein Rennspiel der anderen Art, welches aber einen Suchtfaktor mit sich bringt. •Erstmal zum Spiel: Initial Drift Online ist ein Spiel, in welchem man in Japan (angelehnt an Initial D, eine Animeserie) Straßen/Bergrennen fährt. Man liefert Tofu aus und verdient damit Geld, um sein Auto zu tunen oder ein neues zu Kaufen. Man kann natürlich auch gegen seine Freunde oder anderen Spieler fahren und somit echt heiße Rennen erzeugt. Dass man sich an seinem Controller verkrampft, ist nicht gerade selten :D •Spielaspekte: >Grafik: Die Grafik ist nicht dies, was viele wollen. Warum aber ist sie doch sehr ansprechend ? Der Grund dafür ist, dass wenn man Initial D geschaut sich wirklich so vorkommend, als wäre man in der Welt des 18 jährigen Takumi, welcher Tofu ausliefert und zur Schule geht. Man solle sich hierbei nicht von der Grafik abschrecken lassen, die Grafik sagt oft nicht etwas darüber aus, ob ein Spiel gut oder schlecht ist. Die Grafik kann gut sein, dafür aber die Fahrphysik schlecht oder wie in diesem Fall die Grafik nicht atemberaubend und die Fahrphysik sehr einzigartig (im positiven Sinne). >Fahrphysik: Nun zu der vorher angesprochenen Fahrphysik. Diese ist in diesem Spiel sehr unique und ich habe solche eine Fahrphysik selten erlebt. Man merkt richtig, dass das Auto rutscht und man hat es schnell nicht unter Kontrolle, wenn man dies nicht übt. Aber lasst euch hiervon nicht abschrecken. Auch wenn es am Anfang sehr schwierig erscheint, lernt man dies mit etwas Übung sehr schnell und besonders, wenn man die Federung und den Radsturz verändert. Ein sehr komplexes Thema hierbei. >Ziel des Spiels: Wer eine Story sucht ist hier fehl am Platz. ABER wer ein Spiel sucht, in welchem man nicht direkt der Beste ist und nur durch Übung etwas erzielen kann und durch Können, der ist hier richtig. Man will immer besser werden und der beste "Bergfahrer" werden. >Community: Die Community hat einen hervorragenden Discord. Dieser ist zwar Englisch gehalten, aber die Community (zumindest ein Großteil) ist sehr hilfsbereit und gibt einem immer Tipps. >Developers: Die Developers sind auf Zack. Ein kleines "Team" aus, wenn ich mich recht entsinne, 2 Leuten. Sobald ein Bug gefunden wird, wird dieser von der Community im "Bug-Report" Channel auf Discord gesagt und die Devs setzen sicht recht schnell dran um diese zu fixen. Auch neue Updates sind nicht selten. Recht schnell wird immer wieder neues hinzugefügt und auf Wünsche der Community eingangen. Ein tolles Devteam. •Fazit: Für alle die, welche ein Spiel suchen, in welchem sie ihr Können beweisen können und mit Freunden gegeneinander antreten können, oder auch den wahren Initial D Vibe spüren wollen, ist dieses Spiel perfekt. Ich würde jedem, der Initial D geschaut hat und Rennspiele mag dieses Spiel empfehlen, auch wenn es am Anfang vielleicht öde und schwer erscheint. Es liegt nicht an der Fahrphysik, oft liegt es an der Person, welche 40 cm vor dem Bildschirm sitzt ;D Kenn ich selbst nur zu gut. [Wenn dir mein Review gefallen hat, würde ich mich über einen Like freuen.] •English• •The Game: The game Initial Drift Online is an MMO racing game in his own style. Initial D in a racing game. That's what would describe it at its best. You deliver tofu and race down togues and race against other players. You can buy new cars, tune your cars and make your own style of racing. •Game aspects: >Graphics: The graphics are not the best for some people, but i love it. Why do i love it, even tho it dont looks like some famous racing games like Forza ? Its simple: It's decent and it feels like i'm right in Initial D. I always feel like Takumi driving the togue up and down. The graphics are also not that important for a game. You could have the best graphics, but the driving physics are bad. But you could have, like in this case, not the best graphics, but the sweetest and most decent driving physics i encountered till yet. >Driving Physics: You really have to do, to not bump into a guardrail. Why, you would probably ask. Well, you are sliding real far, if you have to much speed going into a corner. It handles hard and you have to fight against understeering and much more. At the beginning its frustrating, for nearly everyone. But with the time the practice comes and you learn how to handle. You adjust your suspension, wheel camber and your whole car, and instantly it feels different. You have to find your own style at racing and handling your car. The ones want traction and the other ones want to drift. All is possible here and that's unbelievable awesome. >Aim Of The Game: If you want to have a story, then you are at the wrong place. If you want to drive up and down the mountains, and driver against other ones or maybe want to get the best driver of all time, then you are right here for what you searched. You could become the best driver of all time or could have fun batteling with your friends or other players. >Community: The community is really awesome, cause if you are in the discord you can always ask and there is most likely everytime someone there, who can help you. The most of the community is also really friendly and calm (monkemoe not). >Developers: The devs are just, when i remember correctly, a team of around 2 people and they are always there to improve and fix something. If a bug appears, it gets posted in the bug report channel on discord and the devs gonna try to fix it as fast as they can. Even updates are not rare. Really fast there are new updates and the devs really act in the wishes of the community on discord. Finally a extremely awesome dev team. •Conclusion: At the end, i would recommend the game everyone, who wants to drive and show his skills and his ambition on becoming the best driver, or maybe also having fun with your friends driving down the downhill. I would also recommend it to every Initial D fan, who likes racing games. [If you like my review, i would be happy about a like on it :D]

  the thing i like about this game is that you earn less money than a African child in Congo working in a cobalt mine

  Pretty sure devs abandoned it after the 9th update as it hasn't seen a major content update in months. Don't buy it and should probably not support RewindApp given how often they seem to abandon projects. Really disappointing in my opinion.

  i suggest not buying any games from these people as they make a game with stolen assets and proceed to abandon it later on.
