The game has potential, they juss gotta redo all the driving physics ### 3/5 — Great potential *2025-07-03* The game is genuinely engaging and challenging, with impressive vehicle customization that enhances the experience. It’s fun and has real potential, and I’ve enjoyed playing it so far. Some feedback for the devs: Physics feel a bit arcade-like. Drifting can be initiated too easily, even from a standstill. There should be a more realistic initiating motion before the car breaks traction. Gearbox needs refining. In manual mode, I can start driving in 4th or 5th gear, which breaks immersion. Sliding feels too floaty. It’s like the car is skating on ice, with too little grip during drifts. Throttle response could be better. The car sometimes keeps accelerating slightly even when I’m off the gas, which makes precise driving harder. Overall, the game is fun and worth playing, but with a few physics tweaks and driving realism improvements, it could go from great to amazing. **Developer response:** Thanks for the detailed feedback, this is great to see. We actually previously had a much more sim style physics system in place that was a lot harder to master but super rewarding once you got the hang of it. Unfortunately we had so much feedback that it was too hard we changed to a easier, more arcade drifting style. ### 4/5 — Good Game *2025-06-16* It's not quite a "god game," but I think it's a very good game. I think it could become a "god game" depending on future updates. Personally, I would like to see the course layout and zone placement revised. Mainly, the course layout of Bikernieki is incorrect, so please correct it. Also, the Mondello Park zone is a little off, so I would like you to fix it. As for car customization, there is a fair amount of freedom. Personally, I would like to be able to swap faces with S14.5 and others. Engine swaps and aftermarket turbos are also possible, so I think it offers a high degree of freedom. However, there are currently a limited number of vehicles available, so I would appreciate it if more could be added. It's a great game, so I'm looking forward to future updates. ### 4/5 — Worth the download *2025-03-06, version 1.0.0098* The game is really good, no adds and great graphics! I would love to see more customisation and tuning though. Why isn’t there any transmission tuning? Id love to be able to tune each gear like games such as CarX drift racing. The prices to buy tracks and cars is a bit to much in my opinion too, maybe have it $4 or something like that. Over all it’s a great game and I’m really enjoying it just like I enjoy Burnout Masters. ### 4/5 — Great game! *2024-08-25* Unreal game, been addicted. Only issue I have is I’ve done an engine swap, it now says car has -200hp and have spent money on it for the engine to be unusable. Don’t know if anyone has had the same issue. Hope it’s fixed soon! Well done on the game but love it. **Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback! Great to hear you are enjoying Drift Runner! We've just launched an update that fixes that dyno tuning issue ### 2/5 — Очень сыро *2024-08-24* Игра ужасно оптимизирована, нигде даже не написано что это бета, куча багов с самого начала, ужасное управление, это вообще не дрифт, звуки взяли из fr legends так взяли бы и физику от туда, за то всё подготовленно к донату! Супер! Доделайте потом выпускайте, надеюсь что игра выйдет в нормальном состоянии ведь в общим идея классная но вот в мелочах ой как все плохо ### 4/5 — Keeps buffering *2024-08-17* Game is awesome few bugs that could be fixed and buffering every now & then **Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback, we've just launched an update that should fix those bugs ### 4/5 — needs more camera options and bov sounds *2024-06-22, version 1.0.0069* would be cool to see a bov customisation because the turbo flutter is quite annoying now and first person camera adjustment. i find in some cars is abit low and would be good to see shifter and handbrake too. ### 2/5 — Doesn’t work *2024-06-15* I’ve downloaded for my phone 12 pro max but doesn’t work, won’t load up just get a black screen **Developer response:** Try a reboot, it should work fine on the 12 pro max. ### 4/5 — Great game *2024-06-15, version 1.0.0069* Love the tuning and parts Livery options would be nice And the handbrake phycics could do with tweaking Also more cars s13, laurel and other old Japanese ones would be nice but otherwise great ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Não consigo apagar *2025-03-07* Não consigo apagar o app do meu telefone!!!!!!!! Iphone13 **Developer response:** You can delete any app for your phone. Strange review ### 1/5 — Game bug *2025-01-26* I’ve had this game for 2 months now hoping they’d fix this black screen issue and nothing. Can’t imagine I’m the only person dealing with this. **Developer response:** We've just launched a new update that should fix this issue ### 1/5 — Drift runner *2024-12-22* Game keeps blacking out and glitched out my car that I built up it’s a really big let down bc I enjoy the game so much you guys should look into it I can’t play it anymore it’s just all black **Developer response:** We've just launched a new update that should fix this issue ### 1/5 — Game will not load *2024-11-11, version 1.0.0079* Absolutely not fun, can’t even play the damn game, get stuck on a grey screen soon as I load the game up ### 1/5 — Literally doesn’t work *2024-11-04* Just sits on a grey screen when you open it. Great stuff! ### 1/5 — Game won’t load *2024-10-05, version 1.0.0079* I can’t play the game it doesn’t start up, but i don’t know the game much cause I haven’t played it but 1 star for now hope they can reduce lag. ### 1/5 — Drift runner *2024-06-19* jogo bom porem a condução do veículo não é tão bom mesmo estando com o melhor dos setup. **Developer response:** It's a lot harder than most games, we are aiming to create a more sim focused drifting experience ### 1/5 — Update delete all of our hard earnt cars *2024-06-19* Please reimberse us with our stuff considering it was all there before the update….. Also you guys have broken the gearbox setup in game, I switch it to manual and the car still tries to shift by itself., so that there defeats the purpose of manual gearbox **Developer response:** Hello, sorry to hear that you've lost your progress.

Takes a bit to get used to, need to clutch kick and power through the drift. Loving the physics, I’m hooked! **Developer response:** Thank you for the review! Definitely a bit more realistic than other drift games, great to hear you are clutch kicking and powering through drifts! ### 5/5 — Love the game *2024-06-15* This game has been a favorite of mine for the past few months. It has a lot of customization, but the only thing I have wrong with this it is you need to pay for a few cars. I get that the developer has to make money so I’m fine with it. A few ways I can see this game improving is having a player customizable car wrap. That would a very great addition. Also I would like to see more cars, but I’m sure that’s already in the works. Overall, I enjoy this game and will continue playing it. Thank you for making it! **Developer response:** Thank you for the review and feedback! It's great to hear that Drift Runner has become one of your favourite games! Customisable wrap / decal system is definitely something we are working on and expect to have it in game soon and we'll have new cars in each update.
