Challenges exist for performing drifts and they were ticking up, so I must have been performing drifts, but it was not obvious.
Other karting games would include an aural or visual key such as smoke from tyres or screeching noises, but as it currently stands KartRider has nothing.
It is apparent that drifting exists – hence the title of the game – but it isn’t made obvious when you or anyone else is drifting around a corner. One thing that did cause a concern during the beta was the use of drifting.

This menu is slightly confusing at first, but once your selections have been made you don’t need to make them again, unless you change your mind.Įven during the beta it wasn’t long before a match was found, and one of the reasons for that is that KartRider: Drift will have crossplay across PC and Xbox, meaning more players to populate servers. You can choose which mode you would prefer, and your way to play it. Item and Speed Race are the online modes that can be competed in in a variety of ways: Solo, Duos (2v2v2v2) and Squad (4v4). Only in Time Attack are you able to pick the track you want to try in the other online modes it appears to be random but the higher difficulty ones also look to pop up less frequently. In the beta there were plenty of one- and two-star tracks to ease players into the game, with only two out of the sixteen being four-star tracks, and no five-star tracks. These weren’t to show how popular each track was, but instead were to indicate the difficulty. Each track also has a star rating out of five.
