Fans of racing games will be pleased to see that Inertial Drift has just launched a free demo on Steam.
With comic book-style visuals and a stylish 90s backdrop, Inertial Drift is a racing game with a difference. A recent trailer launched called the ‘Sunset Prologue’ which gives you a good idea of the style this game is going for.
For a longer look at the game, you can take a look at their initial announcement trailer which came out back in October 2019. This gives you a few more details of the driving mechanics and gameplay footage. If you’re a fan of the type of racing games you’d see at a local arcade, this is the game for you.
Drift Driving Mechanics
Inertial Drift uses twin-stick controls for a unique driving experience. The satisfying twin-stick drift mechanics will give you total control over your drift. This makes it great for racing beginners and pros alike who are looking for a fun and simple to master racing game.
You’ll get to play around with 16 different cars such as sports hatchbacks, supercars, and coupés, each offering a totally different driving experience.
