❤ Driving Physics and Handling

Touge Shakai tailors the driving physics for competitive drift racing, blending realism and fun in a simcade approach. Players report that each car handles distinctly, requiring mastery of different driving styles to extract maximum performance. The cars exhibit a tendency towards oversteer and drifting, as the developers have designed drifting to be faster than pure grip driving for most rear-wheel drive vehicles. Some players found the handling an adjustment from previous titles, describing the cars as feeling "tighter" and more "weightless." However, many have grown to love the unique physics model after investing time to learn each car's characteristics, praising the high skill ceiling and rewarding driving experience.

❤ Drifting and Drift Mechanics

Drifting is a central focus of the gameplay, with the design prioritizing drifting as the faster approach to navigating the tight, winding touge courses. Players praise the smooth, progressive transition into and out of drifts, maintaining control and linking corners together in a highly satisfying manner. The ability to gain a speed advantage through drifting adds an engaging strategic element, as players must decide when to prioritize drifting versus grip driving. Mastering the drift mechanics is essential for competitive play, contributing to the game's high skill ceiling.

❤ Car Customization

The extensive car customization options allow players to heavily modify the appearance of their vehicles, with a wide selection of body kits, custom liveries, and other cosmetic options. While the customization is purely cosmetic, with no mechanical tuning available, players report finding a lot of enjoyment in creating unique, personalized cars. The progression system, which unlocks new customization parts as players achieve objectives, provides an additional layer of engagement and a sense of progression as players build up their dream cars.

❤ Variety and Replayability

Though the initial content offering is relatively limited, players highlight the distinct driving feel of the different vehicles as a strength. Each car requires different techniques to master, providing a good degree of replayability as players constantly seek to improve their lap times and drift skills. The inclusion of online multiplayer, time attack leaderboards, and various race modes further enhance the replayability, allowing players to compete against others and compare their skills. While the content may be limited at the moment, the core driving experience and the variety offered by the different cars are strong foundations that keep players engaged and invested in improving their skills.
