Honestly, one of the best indie racing games I've played in a long time. It's not super deep, and lacks some features like car customization and control re-mapping, but it's extremely fun at what it sets out to do. The official races are fun, but custom races are where you really can experiment and make some crazy combinations. For $6.99, it's hard to beat the replayability here. Well done!
the paint schemes are the only good part, the rest is that old nascar java game but in 3d
It is a deceptive game and I mean that in a positive way, you race in a straight line and while that sounds simple it is not because you got to stay in the draft the whole way to help you try and win, if you lose the draft for a couple of seconds, your hopes of winning are sunk. The cars are imitations of some of the most famous Stock Cars in history, obviously you can't use sponsors like Coors so the game uses Doors and Goodwrench is Woodbench but they are the Stock Cars you know and love. I hope one day the game will have Australian Stock Cars from the 90s in it, for example the #27 Repco sponsored car can easily be the #27 Retro car, one can dream. TIP: I stick close to the #51, I follow it all the way to front and then at about 80% of the way I try make a pass, when in second switch to the overhead view so you can see somebody coming up and then make your winning move.
The NASCAR game we never knew we needed
The game in its current state is a well done proof of concept that if improved in the future, can be turned into something far better than the NASCAR games we have received in the past 5-6 years. The large amount of sliders you can mess with can create an incredibly varied experience from one run to another. However, I have pretty much come across a way to "cheese" the game if you will, that will lead to a front-of-the-pack finish virtually every time. You press the left arrow (or right) repeatedly into drivers in the row in front of you to open up a gap for you to progress through the field, getting the draft from the row in front of the one you just entered. Once you get to the front, you can essentially do the same thing to cars with runs beside you (which you can gauge using the overhead camera) and put them in the wall/throw blocks to the grass to get them to fall due to no longer having a pusher. I realize that this game is made by a single developer and I thank him for his efforts, as this probably was no easy task to make. However, with some improvements (i.e. physics overhaul, steam workshop support for new venues & paint packs, multiplayer support, other gamemodes), this game can go from good to a must-have in a motorsports fan's library.
This sucks, but it really doesn't. Fun game that can get addicting quick.
"This sucks!"
I do not recommend to buy this anymore, main reasons is that its probably the oldest version of any Draftycar game, which makes it worse in compared to the mobile version, or the upcoming Draftycar 2 version. So its best to not buy this one anymore.
Fun little arcade game, with ALL THE PAINT SCHEMES YOU KNOW AND LOVE!
Fun game to pass the time. I would download it again.
