What is Inertial Drift?
This arcade racing game takes place in a 1990s-inspired retro future, with tracks through cities, temple grounds, and mountain roads. You steer with one stick and control drifts with the other in time trials, races, head-to-head events, and style challenges.
For you if...
- +you enjoy improving lap times through repeated practice
- +you like learning how different cars handle
Not for you if...
- −you want conventional steering instead of dedicated drift controls
- −you prefer crowded races over solo time trials
